Explore the healing arts and yoga to soothe the nervous system, unwind strain and fatigue, build deep vitality, and support abiding presence.
Join us for this special immersion into yoga, somatic healing, and meditation.
Drawing inspiration from the natural world, Chinese Medicine, Buddhist mindfulness, and illuminating poetry and readings, this weekend will offer a yoga and meditation practice that is both dynamic and restorative with an emphasis on the individual needs of students.
Beyond the daily practices and delicious food, we’ll also have plenty of time to relax and rest. This retreat is for everyone – all levels welcome.
More Information
Stunning Stowel Lake Farm on Salt Spring Island BC is a short ferry from Vancouver BC or Victoria BC. This location offers a beautiful and supportive setting for retreat. Stowel lake is a full time retreat center and organic farm set amid acres of meadows, forest, and organic gardens.
Jennifer Raye will be offering multiple yoga, meditation, and workshop sessions daily. Practices are suitable for all students and levels. Classes are restorative, dynamic, and therapeutic, and will emphasize ease, strength, and mindful awareness.
Our organic gourmet meals will be prepared by our private chef and her diverse collection of talented help. Meals are always a highlight of the retreat! The farm produces organic food year-round and collaborates directly with farmers which means that food served during retreats is truly ‘farm to table.’ Food will be plentiful, healthy, and beautiful. All dietary limitations can be accommodated. Please email us after registration if you have restrictions.
Light-filled warm handcrafted buildings provide a supportive setting for retreat. There is plenty of space to curl up with a book by the woodstove, or practice in the cherrywood practice room with panoramic views of the farm.
We can arrange a complimentary shuttle to get to and from the farm and the Fulford ferry terminal if arriving by ferry without a vehicle.
There are several optional complementary experiences including farm tours. Jennifer will also have private sessions available for acupuncture or herbal/nutrition consultation.
Beyond the scheduled yoga and meditation classes attendees are encouraged to relax in the beautiful common spaces, explore the gorgeous property and gardens, and enjoy the optional activities, tours, and the practice room.
