Upcoming Yoga and Meditation Retreat Accessible from Toronto for Fall

October 16-18th Jacqueline and I will be facilitating a quiet retreat called “Stillness on the Ridge” in Midland, ON at Sugar Ridge! 

It is a quiet retreat, meaning there will be minimal conversation in the studio. Outside of the classes, those who want to chat over meals or between classes are of course welcome to do so. This retreat is designed to support people who spend a lot of their time supporting others (caregivers, clinicians, teachers, social workers)

This retreat is for those who: 

  • are looking for deep rest

  • are seeking time in nature & a slower pace

  • want quiet time with fewer distractions to focus inward

  • are looking to explore new listening practices 

  • want to practice yoga & other movement that help ground you in your body
