An exploration into the meditative power of creation for the lover of movement & maker!
The modern world is constantly subjecting us to critique. BE a certain way. HAVE the right things. DO what is acceptable.
And because of this, we’re left in constant critique of ourselves. Am I enough? Have I done enough? Is what I’m doing good enough?
Inevitably, we’re left filtering and editing our truest intentions to fit into a mold that is one-size-fits-none. We have to balance the need to contribute to the world around us and the need of unadulterated self expression.
But what if you didn’t have to search for that balance anymore?! Here is your invitation for an experience in shedding external pressures and listening closely to the voice deep within you. A time to create space for your heart’s true wisdom and let it manifest in you without expectation.
In the Meditative Creative Yoga Retreat, connect with your innermost self by stoking a creative fire through intentional yoga asana, crafting, journaling and reflection. Take away the filter of having to be anything specific so that you can simply be and do what calls from within.
Why create, you might ask? That act of creation is another way to access the flow state. Creation invites intense attention to the task at hand, drawing you into the present moment. The act of creation in three dimensions provides an immediate and tangible representation of your impact on the world. In many cases, as in refining a craft or skill, you can see progress through practice. There is satisfaction and joy in watching your creation come to life.
Though creation doesn’t necessarily need to show progress. Just like the yoga practice, the joy of the flow state is in the process, not the destination. And, when we can express ourselves through creation without filter or evaluation, we might be able to experience a part of ourselves that would otherwise remain hidden.
So please join us for an intimate, immersive experience to bring out the inner you with celebration, intention and appreciation. Let us savor this process of meditation to create space for a deep part of you to unfold.
This intimate experience has very limited space available, so don’t delay in registering! Early bird pricing will go up June 1st!
