Comet Party Yoga and Writing Retreat

[Update, 5/5/16: Alas, we haven't gotten the numbers we need to be able to run this retreat. If you're interested in participating the next time we try to run this thing, drop me a line!]

This is the last week to get the early-bird price ($300 instead of $350) on the first-ever Comet Party yoga and writing retreat with my dear teacher Anne Wichmann! Since I've been posting information about the retreat rather piecemeal, I thought I'd do one more post to gather all the info in one place.

When: Friday, May 20th (afternoon) to Sunday, May 22nd (afternoon), 2016

Where: Bethel Farm, Hillsborough, New Hampshire. Get psyched for long walks in the woods and the wood-fired sauna (maybe alternating with dips in the pond!)

What: Jivamukti yoga classes, meditation, and kirtan paired with intuitive writing sessions

Why: to relax, learn more about yourself, and meet lovely new people!

Meals: 100% vegan, baby! All allergies and dietary restrictions catered for (just let us know.)

Accommodation: small dorm-style with shared bath. (I know this set-up won't be for everyone, but I love the cozy summer-camp feel of the Bethel Farm guesthouse.)

Retreat schedule: here.

Transportation from Boston: we'll be organizing ride shares.

More about Jivamukti: it's an athletic yet well-rounded style of yoga, including chanting, breathwork, dharma talks, and meditation along with the asanas. I've found Jivamukti teachers to be the warmest and most giving yoga instructors I know. Oftentimes you'll get a quick warm-up shoulder massage with china gel (a menthol-based cream, very tingly and refreshing), and/or another little massage during savasana. Jivamukti teachers walk the talk when it comes to ahimsa, the principle of non-harming. Anne is a very chill and loving teacher.

More about Stephen Bethel (owner of Bethel Farm and another awesome Jivamukti teacher!) here.

What is "intuitive writing"? Good question! We'll be taking journaling to the next level with exercises designed to lift you out of your ordinary way of thinking, priming you for a transformative experience. Everything you write during this retreat is for your eyes only. You can get a sense of the type of writing exercises we'll be doing here. There's also a sneak preview of Life Without Envy in your retreat workbook! 

You can register for this retreat either through Bethel Farm or by emailing me. Anne and I are so looking forward to it!
