Winter Rest: A Seasonal Retreat [RETREAT FULL]

As the earth rests under blankets of cold and snow, we also need to rest.
This retreat invites the season of winter to teach us to stop striving; it invites you to a time of tranquility and silence. It will open the space to consider how winter prepares us for the other seasons of our lives, to rest in deep quietude, to be held by the stillness of the prairie.
Conversations about the season, walks on the prairie, a long winter’s nap, art, movement, journaling, great meals and warm beds will all be a part of what you can expect when you arrive. A renewed connection to yourself and to nature is what you can expect to take with you when you leave.
Friday, 1:00 pm – Saturday 4:00 pm.
Facilitated by Amy Alstad and Pam Shellberg
