Woman’s Nature Renewal Weekend

CLASS FILLED. Sept 21 – 23, 2018

Arrival: 7pm Friday Departure: 5 pm Sunday

We come together to explore deep connection to nature, self and others. This is a weekend of nourishment, exploration and compassion lead by Gaylyn Kaufman, Deanne Bednar & Corinne Denomme on the beautiful land at Strawbale Studio.

How do we care for ourselves as women?

How do we renew so we can engage with our best selves and our gifts to Life ?

We will be immersing ourselves in nature, exploring through our senses, opening our hearts to compassion for self and others, slowing down, learning to listen more closely, connecting and sharing the magical, beautiful space together.

Together we will drop into Beingness, in this natural, nurturing setting … into quiet, joyful mind.

“Step out of the circle of time and into the circle of love.” ~Rumi
