Liminal: A Daylong Retreat to prepare for wintering well

The end of October and beginning of November is a significant time in many calendars: Halloween, Samhain, Diwali, All Soul’s Day, Dia de los Muertos are just some of the occasions that celebrate the liminal space between the end of harvest season and the beginning of winter.

Honor the dark half of the year in this daylong retreat as we go within to rest and reflect on the year. Explore what you have harvested, what needs to be composted, and what you would like to bring into the winter den to sustain you as you incubate the seeds of the year ahead.

Within the warm walls of Shanti and outside into the natural beauty of Deer Park Farm, retreat leaders Jennifer Speiden and Jamie Reygle will share practices designed to sustain the body, heart, and mind through winter’s cold, dark months. These will include:

Mindful movement
Guided practices
A mindful walk
Contemplative art
Self-massage
Yoga Nidra

A delicious, locally sourced lunch is included.
