This retreat is for those of you who are caring for others in your personal or professional life (frontline workers, first responders, teachers, caregivers of family or community). All who resonate with the term caregiver are welcome.
This is an opportunity for you to rest, reflect and refresh your relationship to yourself, your work and the ways you support yourself.
You will be supported by daily yoga practice, silence, meeting with a teacher, guided meditations, beautiful grounds, amazing food and a private room.
