Upcoming Retreat: Unplug & Play with Wse Touch Healing

Come back to center.  Nourish your body.  Connect with your heart.

August 23-27, Race Brook Lodge, Sheffield, MA  

The transition between seasons is a potent time to shift your inner compass.  Move mindfully into the next chapter as you:

- Connect with your inner strength and fluidity through vinyasa flow yoga

- Experience the support of your community through acroyoga, Thai massage and conscious  communication
               
- Cultivate deep stillness and receptivity to the beauty around you through hiking and meditation in the wilderness
               
- Open your heart and voice through song and chant

our Guides: 
Johanna Wise and Paul Harrigan are both Kripalu Yoga Teachers and Licensed Massage Therapists, and acroyoga practitioners (and Johanna is a certified acroyoga instructor).  They are spirit buddies who share a deep appreciation for the ways in which yoga, partner/ acroyoga, nature, meditation, chanting and bodywork can open our hearts and connect us with our highest self.  Their intention is to offer these tools as support to those on the journey towards greater self-love, empowerment, purpose and peace.
