Mindfulness and Movement Retreat for Educators

When we care for ourselves, we can better care for our students. Take an intentional break and join us for a retreat created specifically for educators. Our day will be full of mindfulness, movement, community, fun and nourishment. The day will be crafted with an intention that you will leave with a full cup, and with tools and resources to keep your cup full this school year. Everyone is welcome regardless of previous experience with mindfulness and/or yoga.
