Nurturing our Bodies, Honoring our Stories
A day of Yin yoga, writing & astrology with Emily and Dawn
Sunday, March 11, 10am-4:30pm
Hidden Lake Retreat, Eagle Creek, www.hiddenlakeretreat.org
$120.00, early bird special of $95 if you register by February 21

We invite you to Hidden Lake Retreat, a magical sanctuary of exquisite beauty, for a day of Yin yoga, writing, astrology, and an organic mid-day meal.  

We meet during Mars Retrograde, a time to slow down, turn inward, and reconsider and revitalize our enthusiasm and passion. Mars is in Virgo, the sign of refinement, discrimination and purification. We'll explore how to support forward momentum by sifting through what truly nourishes us and what drains our energy. 

This sculpting of time and space to be with our bodies and muse are essential for our well-being as women. When we gift ourselves with a day to reconnect with our very tissue, our hearts, and our voices, we are restored, rejuvenated and uplifted. 

We will alternate between writing from the body and practicing Yin yoga. Yin yoga is a deeply relaxing practice that targets the connective tissue, which responds to slow, gentle, persistent stretching. The benefits include increasing the range of motion in the joints, and improving the flow of energy through the body. While we relax into the long, supported poses, Emily will offer guidance for navigating Mars Retrograde. Please bring a copy of your birth chart for specific insight into what Mars Retro means for you. If you do not have your birth chart, you can contact Emily for one at: etrinkaus@gmail.com 

This workshop is limited to 9 participants. No writing, yoga or astrology experience necessary. 

To sign up contact: Dawn at dawn@pdxwomenwriters.com or 503.568.6145
