With spring-time comes hope — hope that we can actually gather together for an experiential retreat and workshop. We will write, meditate, do yoga, enjoy Ayurvedic self-care rituals and eat amazing, wholesome vegetarian food. The focus of this women-only retreat is writing from the theta state of mind. Based on the Gateless Method, Susan (a certified Gateless teacher) will guide you on a journey of self-expression where the words flow without fear and we share with confidence and joy. Susan will co-lead this retreat with Yogini Dawn Curtis of East Meets West Yoga.
Writing and reading our words out loud, and receiving positive, encouraging feedback ignites a kind of healing that infuses the entire body. To experience this please join one of Susan’s weekly writing salons (see events for details).
You do not need to be a writer or working on a manuscript to attend. The weekend offers you a chance to write to prompts as well as various, creative exercises for expressing yourself on the page. Once you register for the weekend Susan will share the Gateless guidelines with you. You can also participate in gentle yoga sessions, meditation, silent walks on wooded trails and free time to explore within and without.
The retreat is limited to 10 people. All attendees must be fully vaccinated and boosted and present a negative COVID test. Please contact me for details and to sign up.
