4PM to 6PM – Workshop: Balancing your Inflow and Outflow

This experience is created based on who shows up and the wisdom that will be pulled together by the unique group that attends. Therefore, material and techniques will be chosen to facilitate balancing your inflow and outflow of energy. Each person will walk away feeling spiritually regrouped so they are more relaxed in the world. Relaxed people make decisions that can change their world!

By balancing your inflow and outflow in a peaceful unfamiliar place, life starts to flow with you effortlessly. The see-sawing between being in balance and out of balance, then back in balance starts to make sense. This is why we go on retreat or vacation, to have space not filled with day-to-day responsibilities.  Finding balance is a little easier on retreat in a workshop because you don’t have the normal stressors of life AND it’s a good time to clear on the future. You will experience techniques to sense your future and magnetize that plan for your future self.

Regroup for yourself where you are at, and know you have the space too adjust your sails and refine that plan. Finding balance in your inflow and outflow of energy will allow you to sense ahead so your plans work out better than you anticipated!  Music, after all, is the space between the notes.

6PM to 8PM – Workshop 2: Breathwork Workshop with Meghan Kirkpatrick
Introduction & Intention Setting, Active Breathing, Rest & Integration. There are a wide range of sensations that you may feel and each person experiences the breathwork differently. It can be quite powerful and profound. Many people exclaim after with phrases like, “WOW & Holy Shit!” Breathing in this way floods our bodies with oxygen and energy flows into the body. Typically you will experience tingling and vibrating sensations, as well as both physical and emotional release. It is balancing to our nervous system, gives a boost for the immune system increasing white blood count, and opens our hearts to heal trauma and release emotions.

Excursion – Hiking Mt. Van Hoevenberg

Enjoy this well-appointed trail filled with native wildflowers, foliage, and spectacular views of the High Peaks from its 2,940-foot summit.  Hikers begin a gentle climb to one of the finest views of the High Peaks. Switchbacks are used throughout the trail so the climb does not get too steep as it meanders through the woods. In the spring, you’ll see tons of bright wildflowers. The hardened trail, 4.7 miles Round Trip takes 2 & 1/2 hours, is easy on the knees.

Not sure you’re ready for Mt Van Hoevenberg? Take a leisurely stroll, meandering on our cross-country ski trails through wooded paths and open fields on trails for every ability. Some are short, and some are long, take a quick walk or a long run while enjoying access to some of the best outdoor experiences in the Adirondacks.

4PM – Kirtan Yoga w/ Sarah Chien

Kirtan is an ancient yogic practice of prayer and praise to the Divinity that pervades the entire universe. In this accessible, heart-felt practice, we join our voices in call-and-response singing of the Divine names offered to us in the ancient and profound Sanskrit language. Anyone with a heart and a voice can engage in this musical practice as it is a practice to uplift and connect humanity, with each name connecting us with aspects of our very own Divine nature. Join for this precious opportunity to let the mind rest in the heart space and experience the power of Sacred Sound.
