Thursday March 12th & Friday March 13th, 9 am to 1 pm in Joy Community Hall (Opposite Center GH)
 
A transformational yoga class will prepare us to open our perceptions to nature and ourselves to start the walk in the garden of 5 senses. Roaming among the flowers, in intimate silence, we will observe their forms and beauty; and we will collect some special flowers to prepare our own alchemist tea. In harmony and a simple state of awareness we will enjoy the colours and fragrances of our beverage. Smell, touch, taste, hearing and sight will meet within the aroma of the tea. Sip by sip, we will acknowledge the values that inner peace can bring to us, blending our mind and body in a collective experience. Understanding the inevitability of impermanence and the simplicity of our inner being, we will prepare a simple breakfast: fruits and seeds, to celebrate the mellow beauty that nature and time offer to us to live with joy, in full presence. We will cultivate gratitude towards Nature, who gave us the gift of life and the vehicle to “enjoy it, in our body”.The content of the retreat is as follow:
– Restorative asanas
– Detoxing Pranayama breathing
