Spring Mind-Body Wellness Retreat
with Jenne Sluder
Tuesday, April 28 | 10 am – 4pm
Set aside a day for quiet reflection and renewal at the North Carolina Arboretum, centering themes from the poetry of Mary Oliver. Calm your mind, refresh your spirit, and relax your body and nervous system with a gentle immersion into mind-body centering practices both indoors and in nature. Expect slow, mindful yoga and qigong, guided meditation, progressive relaxation + sound bath, contemplative readings from Mary Oliver, and time for personal journaling and quiet time in nature. All mind-body practices will be gentle and accessible, including the choice to do any seated movements or meditations in a chair or on a cushion according to your own body's needs.
