Saturday, MAY 31, 2008 10 AM-2 PM: Experience the Spiral: Yoga and Journaling on the Labyrinth Need to refresh your body and spirit before taking on the glories of summer? Don't have time for a full weekend retreat? Join Jill and Kundalini Yoga instructor Padmani Kaur (Christine Cappabianca) for an outdoor experience with breathing, movement, and creative journaling as we take in the herb gardens and labyrinth of Sarah Campbell, co-owner of Radiance. A spiral experience in a beautiful setting: we will start the day with gentle movement, meditation, and breathing. From there, we will glean insights from our bodywork and meditation with guided writing and a chance to share. The centerpiece of the day will be a silent walking meditation through the herb labyrinth. Continued silence through lunch will allow time for further reflection. From this silence, we will emerge renewed--spiraling out the way we entered--but with more verve. Afternoon writing and yoga will be filled with playful intent, creative infusion, and interaction in the garden realm. This retreat, appropriate for all levels of yoga (and journaling) experience, is a lovely investment in redefining our mind/body practices, stimulating our imaginations, and reconnecting with the natural world. Cost is$60 including lunch. Please bring a blanket or yoga mat and a journal. Contact Radiance for more information or call 717-290-1517 to reserve your spot. Rain date is June 7th.
