Yoga
Retreat on Block Island
Sept. 24-28, 2008 Integrating
Yogic Philosophy into Daily Life
Late September...the kids are back to school....it is time for YOU. We all need reflective time and space to
feel balanced between work and play, and able to live what we know and desire in our lives. In
this tranquil fall retreat, at a time of perfect balance in the natural
cycle, we will share yogic practices to bring more integration,
acceptance and spiritual insight into day to day
reality.
We
will be staying at the Sign of the Dove House, a serene retreat
house overlooking a fresh water pond, just minutes from the quaint town
and beautiful beaches on Block Island.
The crowds are gone in late September, but the weather stays warm, perfect
for hikes, bikes, horseback rides on the beach and the kind of silence
that brings peace to our hearts. Mornings will hold yoga and meditation,
evenings will be teachings and group work. Lots of time for stillness and
self reflection....
This is a retreat dedicated to personal integration, playfulness and deep
self acceptance.
$750/double

About Block Island
Ten thousand years ago, glaciers pushed their way down the East Coast
and left behind the rocks and soil that was to form this little paradise
that we call home. The result was a cozy community (only around 800
folks in the winter), a land of stunning vistas and a very fragile
ecosystem that we have had the good fortune to preserve for all to
share. Because of the particular forces of nature that went to work on
Block Island, no other place on earth shares its geography, nor its
balance of species. A rarity, indeed.
Block Island is a rarity in another sense; it's a place that moves at
its own pace and is known for a relaxed way of life. It's where "dressed
up" means a pair of shorts. Islanders speak of going to the mainland as
going "off island" — an expression of the feeling that Block Island is
its own entity, as unique as the North Light or the 250-foot bluffs.
We want you to come here and shed your whole way of life for a while.
Forget your agendas and your deadlines, lose your ambitions and your
daily planner; sink into natural splendor, clean air and the clear night
sky.
There's a story about a visitor who went into a café on the island
and asked some of the regulars where the beach was. Four of the patrons
turned around and each pointed in a different direction. Well, they all
got it right. Perhaps the real reason Block Island was put on this earth
was to make sure everybody gets enough beach time. More than 350
freshwater ponds (from natural springs) and 17 miles of beach invite you
to jump in the surf, spend a lazy afternoon building a sandcastle or
burying Dad in sand. Indulge in the novel you've never finished, or just
take a snooze.
"Integrating spiritual change
happens only when you take the insights or inner experiences of your
awakenings and radically apply them to your life, allowing them to
percolate within you and change the way you express yourself in your
actions and relationships."
~ Sally Kempton
