Restore the body and breath and you will restore your spirit!
Autumn restoration overview
The retreat is designed for folks to have a chance to replenish and rejuvenate their
spirits by being nurtured. Self nurturing is necessary in order to replenish our ‘well’ of
giving. The weekend will consist primarily of restorative yoga, deep relaxation and
meditation methods to restore the self. Previous experience is not necessary - everyone
will be able to ‘receive and be nurtured’ through the poses regardless of experience level.
The restorative poses are relaxing and done over blankets, bolsters and pillows. The poses
regenerate the body, mind and spirit by gently opening and relaxing the body. Your
responsibility in the poses is to breathe and enjoy!!! Receive the goodness that your
spirit can offer you and replenish yourself from the inside out!
The retreat will be held at a lovely home in the Finger Lakes Region of New York at
beautiful Keuka Lake. The autumn colors will be sharing their splendor at this time, be ready
to receive the abundance in which you will be surrounded! All meals will be vegetarian and
as organic and natural as possible. Each meal is prepared and catered for you on site with your
nurturing needs in mind!
Certified therapists and foot reflexologists will be available for individual treatments for a
nominal fee. Please indicate your wish to have these treatments to aid you with your inner
nurturing process.

Joan will offer cranial sessions during the retreat, and provide hands on assistance for your
yoga practice. Cranial sacral therapy is a holistic healing practice using a light touch to
balance the craniosacral system in the body, which includes the bones, nerves, fluids and
connective tissues of the cranium and spinal area. It is a powerful and transformative
method, particularly in the way that Joan works with the individual heart and spirit during
a session. Are you ready to shift your perspective, awaken an awareness within your body,
heart and soul that is truly reflective of your true nature/self? Joan comes to us from
Wilmington, North Carolina. Your first session runs 1.5 hours, a second treatment session
with Joan is $100 an hour. Joan will be sharing the wisdom and methods of the I-Ching
while we are in retreat.

during the retreat to enhance your overall wellbeing and nurture the divinity within.
Reflexology is a science that deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet

takes an hour, and runs $30. It just plum feels really good!
