Abiding Awareness: An Insight Yoga Silent Retreat
Insight Yoga Silent Retreat
Insight Yoga Silent Retreat
April 1-6th, 2020 at Land of the Medicine Buddha, Soquel, California.
During this Insight Yoga Silent Retreat, we will practice Yin/Yang yoga, Qigong, sitting/walking meditation, pranayama, as well as practices to connect with our deepest, truest heart. The intention will be to create the conditions for entering into our innate, abiding awareness of this life, just as it is, free from judgment. The Buddha’s teachings of mindfulness and compassion will be shared and will serve as the framework for which the retreat will be held.
*Immerse yourself into the peaceful world of ‘silence’ with supportive guidance and optional meeting with the instructors
*Practice and learn meditation, both seated and walking
* Daily Yin & Yang Yoga and Qigong sessions
*Three meals per day (vegetarian and locally-sourced)
*Miles of walking paths through gorgeous forested lands
*Sauna & massage available
*Experience Insight Yoga with retreat instructors Stephanie Nosco and Adam Stonebraker
Our time together will be supported by social silence and the towering redwoods that comprise the beautiful, natural setting of the Land of Medicine Buddha.
Stepping out of our daily routine and the busyness of our lives is a radically supportive act. When we take this step, we have the opportunity to allow the natural processes of the mind to unfold in an environment free of mundane distraction. Observing the unfolding process brings about valuable insights into the unconscious beliefs, opinions, thought patterns, and biases we hold.
Benefits of the Insight Yoga Silent Retreat
* The ideal place to unplug, slow down that fast pace, and get back in touch with nature
* A chance to get away and step aside from all the hustle and bustle of city life
* Peace and quiet for the mind, refreshing energy for the body
* Rediscover yourself after too long of feeling disconnected
