Restore Mini-Retreat with Living Well Ayurveda

Restore Mini-Retreat with Living Well Ayurveda

Life, work and the new year are coming at us fast, but guess what? We can slow it down — for a few hours at least. Join certified Ayurvedic counselor, yoga and meditation teacher, and Reiki master Melanie Warner Spencer of at ArtEgg studios for a half-day, guided mini-retreat to relax, restore and rest. This intimate, in-person, four-hour event will feature pranayama (breathwork), Dharana (meditation), restorative yoga asana (physical practice) and an Ayurvedic workshop (talk) session to help you connect to your true nature. Take this opportunity to reconnect with your inner self and leave feeling refreshed and renewed. This event, held in the studio of artist amid her lively and expressive artwork, is limited to 10 attendees, so don't wait to claim your spot.

How much does it cost?

This event is priced on a sliding scale to keep it affordable and inclusive. Many of us are struggling to even pay rent or the mortgage right now, so there also will be two free "scholarship" spots available on a first come first served basis. Email Melanie at [email protected] to claim one of the scholarship spots. Use the subject line "Free Spot." You do not need to explain why you are requesting a free ticket.

We are using the honor system since Eventbrite doesn't allow three different price points.

To pay for your ticket: Please choose the price that works best for your budget (see price points below) and type that amount into the "Donation" space.
