Are you curious about ashram life?
If you enjoy mind/body practices, spiritual inquiry, nature connection, making new friends, sitting outside around a fire, pitching in and helping with chores, and would like to immerse yourself in a welcoming spiritual community, we have created this weekend for you. This is a powerful opportunity to reset your spiritual system and find more joy, wisdom and intimacy in your relationship with yourself, others, your work and the Earth.
Begin your days with yoga and meditation practice, followed by a contemplative silent healthy breakfast prepared by one of our talented community chefs. Fill your days with time in nature on our beautiful grounds, connecting experiences with new friends, journaling or in your own personal "sadhana" or spiritual practice. Fall asleep at night to the sounds of the creek, the crickets and frogs after enjoying a community dinner and chanting around our sacred fire circle.

Cost of Retreat:
Living in Yoga is offered on a sliding scale that we hope makes it accessible to most. We depend on those of you for whom money energy is abundant to slide "up" to the full cost of retreat. If your abundance is carried in different ways and the full financial cost of retreat would make it difficult or impossible for you to attend, please slide "down" as necessary to make this retreat accessible for yourself. This type of community support allows for a greater diversity of participants and a richer experience for all . Please consider the value for you and choose the fee befitting your personal circumstances.
Sliding scale from $175 - $325
