The Gift of Calm
We’re in a constant state of movement. We move to get things done, we move from one place to another, we move to interact with others. We work, we build, we do … we move.
And then we pause. We settle. We take the time to savor the stillness. We allow ourselves to simply be. And when we do so, we rediscover a whole world of calm that resonates from within. That’s the essence of this three-day retreat: The Gift of Calm is your chance to experience movement in a more mindful way and then to release into the beauty of stillness.
For this very special weekend, musicians Alex and Christine Beckmann will join us for nightly sound-bath immersions — 90 minutes of natural ambient sounds, soothing crystal bowls, and restorative yoga.
For three days, you’ll tune into mindful movement and thoughtful stillness so you can discover a quieter space within — a space of nurturing and renewal, of self-care. Through gentle yoga, mindful vinyasa, restorative, and yin yoga sessions, along with sound-bath immersions and guided relaxation, you’ll create time and space for calm.
Combine that with the Himalayan Institute’s offerings of nourishing, natural food, nature walks through fall foliage, crisp mountain air, cool, quiet nights, and optional massage services, and you’ll truly be giving yourself the gift of calm.
We hope you’ll join us. We look forward to sharing this mindful weekend with you.
