10 -12 Days in New Zealand
Sanctuary Yoga and Ayurveda Retreat
At the core of this work is connection. ​
In a world in which we are always rushing, onto the next decision, project, stage of life, or even the next meal without time for acknowledgement, something is missed. We can know life through books and pretend to have lived it, by listing our moments on resumes or documenting them on social media profiles, but nothing beats experiences, felt fully.
Ayurveda provides us a lens to see, hear, feel, smell, and touch with awareness of our own nature and nature herself and through that lens, we can engage with life purposefully, sensitively, and set ourselves up to live our unique lives well.
The greatest gift of learning Ayurveda has been, for me, the gift of remembering how to tune in (not out). Learning how to truly wake up, slow down, and stop to smell the roses has functions more than just pleasure. It is the doorway to meditation and the medicine for our minds, bodies, and hearts.
​
This retreat will include a a balance of yoga, pranayama, and Ayurveda lessons, meals, and practices in our shared home, in natural settings, and even a gorgeous sanctuary in this remote location.
The magic happens through our own awareness, honesty, sincerity, and presence with guidance and special guests who will be a welcoming presence in Aotearoa (The Land of The Long White Cloud).
