Join Karin Rossi, yoga therapist, educator, and trauma care worker, alongside Kevin Genjo LeBlanc, Zen Buddhist monk and teacher, for their 4th Annual Fall Retreat. Karin and Kevin create a warm, welcoming atmosphere filled with moments of both hearty laughter and deep poignancy.
This year’s theme, Beginner’s Mind, invites you to set aside everything you thought you knew about yoga and meditation and step into the space of not knowing, where the possibilities are many.
Daily gentle yoga practices and early morning meditation structure our day and include informative talks, moving readings, and open discussion.
This year, attendees will have the option to book an additional day, Thursday Oct. 23rd, for more intensive study with Karin or Kevin or both. For an additional fee, Karin will be offering 45-minute yoga therapy consultations, yoga nidra, or trauma care yoga. Kevin will work with attendees looking to learn more about the practice of zazen. Email Karin to find out more about this option – [email protected]
