Open to everyone - especially beneficial to 12 step members and those overcoming addiction and self-destructive behaviors.

The retreat offers ...

Morning and Evening Meditation sessions;

Yoga Asana Classes with Pranayama (breathing exercises) and Relaxation;

Ayurveda Workshops, Consultations and Body Treatments;

‘Open/non-specific’ 12-Step Meetings ( where participants can talk about their experience, strength and hope in regard to any addictive habit they are recovering from. We require our alcohol/ chemically dependent guests to have at least 3 months of continuous sobriety);

Tools of Recovery Workshop - Introduction to Positive Thinking and Meditation. This spiritual instruction on Step 11 will teach you how the mind works; ways to control your emotions and thoughts; how to find peace of mind and how to take care of stress. We’ll also discuss the many similarities between the ethical and lifestyle foundations of Classical Yoga with those of the 12 Step Programs.

Guest comments from previous retreats...

"The retreat was an amazing life-changing event for me. It worked for me mentally, spiritually and physically. I left feeling inspired, refreshed, renewed, full of hope, strong and satisfied. The lessons continue to grow each day so, for me, the work was substantial, not hype” (WA, Nevada)
