Join Gaby Evers and Amy Orcutt from Working Wellness at the Rushton Conservation Center to pause and settle into the autumn season. Gaby and Amy will lead the group through a day of fireside yoga and meditative practices. Donna Laveran, of Lazy Susan Kitchen, will prepare a tasty and nourishing lunch while offering instruction and recipe tips! After lunch, we will have a guided walk through the Rushton Woods Preserve, where we will use our senses to connect and notice the gift of nature.
This retreat is suitable for all levels.
WHAT TO EXPECT
- 10 am | Start the day with a ‘VinYin’ Yoga Flow, a hybrid class that begins with an invigorating, dynamic sequence that will awaken and open the body in preparation for a slower, restorative series of postures to close out the practice. After Yoga, calm the mind through a Meditation designed to create stillness and clarity allowing access to creative inspiration. |
- 11:30 am | Connect with nature on a guided walk through the preserve and learn about Rushton Farm, the meadows, woodland, and wildlife that call this open space home.
- 12:30 pm | Finish the day with a Culinary demonstration by Chef Donna Laveran followed by a healthful, delicious lunch.
- 2 pm | Retreat concludes
WHAT TO BRING
- Wear comfortable clothes for practice
- Bring a yoga mat, any props (blocks and straps) you like to use, and a blanket. Please let us know if you need to borrow any of these items.
- Bring a water bottle (filtered water available)
- Our nature walk will be rain or shine, and the trails may be muddy. Please bring warmer layers if it's chilly and shoes you do not mind getting a bit muddy
