This women's fall retreat we will be gathering, camping and immersing our bodies in the hot silky waters of Sierra Hot Springs.
In our time together we will be holding sacred space to deeply share our heart's and soul's in circle, receiving inspiring teachings and sharing delicious meals. We will be exploring one of the teachings with a day walk and refreshing swim in the pristine lakes of the Sierra Buttes.
This is an opportunity to receive the safety, pleasure and nourishment of sitting with our sisters. Coming together in a circle of all women awakens reciprocity, creativity and inspiration.
Fall is a time of harvest celebrating the earth’s bounty and as well as an opportunity to come back into deeper balance from the fullness of summer’s activities. It is a time of introspection, asking honest questions of ourselves and deepening into our awakening as mature generative adults. We will be diving into the waters of our bellies and heart, to touch the undigested fears, grief and hopes that live in our unconscious, just waiting for our loving attention.
Turning our attitude towards gratitude, supports us to lean into what we are honestly feeling. To smell, touch, sense and express our hearts longings, losses and yearnings as well as our joy and celebration.
Freedom is learning to be where we are, standing in the fire as well as standing in the bliss.
In our time together we will explore and cultivate skills to embrace change, discomfort, disappointment and loss with gratitude, making space for the grace and guidance that awaits us.
Grief can be a doorway to deeply feeling our love, longing and a deeper insight into our journey.
Let’s make good use of these challenging situations together, and awaken our capacity to stay present with ourselves and others as we navigate contractions to openness.
We invite you to join us in practices, teachings and inquiries that keep our hearts open, fluid and responsive to this tender and aching world that deeply needs our compassionate presence. Expanding our ability to feel gratitude for each breath, each moment, we become more alive!
“What an amazing retreat with Satya at Sierra Hot Springs! This was my first time working with Satya who came highly recommended, also my first time at Sierra Hot Springs and both exceeded my expectations. Satya's healing energy mixed with being in nature at the hot springs made the weekend magical. I am looking forward to doing more work with this beautiful yoga practitioner.”
