HARVEST THE SPIRIT

An Autumn Retreat @ Stowel Lake Farm, Salt Spring Island, BC

Sept 13-16th, 2018

One of the greatest challenges of modern day living is to live harmoniously with nature and the changing seasons. Autumn is a time to harvest the bounty we grew in summer, to store and prepare for the winter ahead, and is associated with the metal element, signifying contraction and introspection, as opposed to the upwards and outwards movement of the fiery summer. It is a time to reflect, to receive what is of essential worth, and to let go of what is not useful to us. Retreat to the serene natural environment of Stowel Lake Farm on Salt Spring Island and take harvest of your fullest intentions and manifestations of the year.

INCLUSIONS:

3 Nights Accommodation
3 Organic Vegetarian meals per day
8 Blissful Yoga Classes:
