Autumn Retreat – Art and Spirituality – Oct. 26 – 28

As the days get shorter and the nights get longer nature invites us to spend more time in meditation and our inner world of art, music and creative expression. This retreat blends a daily routine of chanting, meditation and yoga with experiential workshops on spirituality, music, dance, choral singing, poetry and improvisation.
