Finally we have winter weather to wrap our bodies and souls up in. Darkness provides that mystic cave we enter into with inward atunement. Now that you have your 2012 calendar in front of you, you might want to reserve a block of time at the end of June to practice yoga together in community. The location, Windhover in Rockport, is a 10 minute walk to the rocky coast and provides rustic quarters at an old summer dance camp space.
Due to last year's success (full house of 25 people) I am offering two options this year. Actually four. There are two separate weekend workshops, either June 22-24 or June 29-July 1st. These will be full of group time to relate, quiet morning time to meditate, walk, or write, two yoga classes daily(9-12 and 4-6), and a workshop slot in the afternoon for art making options. Veronica will return to cook splendid healthy meals and hold us all together with her generous heart.
In between the weekends, artist Johnny Lapham will be leading a four day Art, Body and Soul experience from lunchtime Monday, June 25th to Friday morning June 29th. Participants will be led through a series of movement, imagination, art-making, guided visualization, poetic writing and group performance exercises to draw each of us deeper into our sources of imagery, voice and creative expression. Some of the art projects will take place over all four days leading to finished pieces we can take home. All levels welcome and all materials will be provided. There will also be a daily yoga practice and plenty of free time to visit the ocean, nap or meet the day in any way you choose.
And finally, you could simply opt to spend a night or two with us at Windhover, add a few days before or after the weekend yoga workshops or stay the entire time. We will have informal sessions of yoga, free writes, time in nature, dancing and you could even volunteer to lead a group activity. Each week day stay is $80 for room and board.
