RENEWAL RETREAT APRIL 18-19
“Renewal”
Spring Cleaning for the Soul
The challenges we all face in 2009 require us to be more mindful, in touch with our core values and deeply present!
We each face difficult questions: Is my life on the path to deeper and richer authenticity?
Do I have the tools and the courage to take a personal inventory and to continue to grow? What story do I want to tell?
If the answers are of interest to you, please join us for a unique multi-disciplinary workshop to be held at magnificent Wagging Tail Farms, located in Bethel, N. Y. on April 18-19 2009.
Through Yoga, StoryTelling and holistic nutritional counseling you will have the opportunity to quietly look inside and access the stories which define and inspire you and experience the invigorating vibrancy of deepening your practice and awareness.

The Farm is only about three miles from the new state of the art Bethel Woods Performing Arts Center, built on the site of the original Woodstock Festival. Recently, the Center opened the Museum at Bethel Woods, one of the finest museums in the country dedicated to rock and roll , particularly the Hippie Era of the ‘60’s.
