Earth, Body, Mind & Spirit Retreat at Prairiewoods (in person)

Saturday, Feb. 15, 9 a.m.–Sunday, Feb. 16, 5 p.m. U.S. Central Time
Reconnect with your true self and gain a deeper understanding of the transformative power of the natural world. During this weekend retreat at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha), we will engage in energizing and restorative yoga sessions, find our anchor through guided mindfulness and silent meditation, and, weather permitting, savor immersive nature walks with other like-minded individuals. We will explore how we express our individuation within a community and become aware of where our shadow side is present and how to integrate it when it does. Through the earth, body, mind and spirit, we will connect to our authenticity and leave feeling restored. We will be guided not only through physical postures, meditation and breathwork, but also through inner explorations that help us connect with our true, authentic selves. Whether you’re seeking physical strength, emotional balance or spiritual insight, this retreat will offer an opportunity to reconnect with the body, mind and spirit to reveal your own unique inner and outer vibrance. As a dedicated yoga instructor, healer, nature lover and lifelong learner, facilitator Shawn Westbrook offers a unique blend of movement, mindfulness, integration work and a profound connection to the natural world in his practice and offerings. Shawn’s healing journey began with a deep-rooted love for nature, which he nurtured through the years. This deep connection to the land and natural rhythms has informed his approach to health and wellbeing, believing that true health begins through harmony with the natural world and its rhythms to help reveal our authentic self. Shawn’s teachings are heavily influenced by the principles of aligning with nature and its rhythms, particularly the ideas of eco-therapy, alchemy, shadow work and individuation—the process of becoming who you truly are. The cost of this weekend retreat is $195 and includes sessions, Saturday lodging, and Saturday lunch through Sunday lunch. The commuter fee is $120 and includes sessions, Saturday lunch and dinner, and Sunday lunch. (Partial scholarships are available.)
