Day-Long Yoga and Writing Women’s Retreat, Saturday, April 27, 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Held on a beautiful country property in Sebastopol, CA.
Join Women’s Writing Circles’ founder Dayna Macy and former Yoga Journal Editor-in-Chief Kaitlin Quistgaard for a nurturing day of yoga and intuitive writing—all in the company of wonderful women!
We invite guests to arrive at 9 am to settle in with a cup of tea and morning muffins. Our first circle will begin at 9:30 am with introductions and intentions.
Kaitlin will lead a slow, alignment-based yoga practice outside on the deck overlooking a beautiful garden. Then Dayna will lead the first writing session, where we practice timed writing and open prompts that encourage us to tell our stories and write our truths.
A delicious vegetarian lunch will be served on the deck, followed by time for conversation and meandering around the garden.
Our afternoon will include a second writing circle where we will dive deeper, exploring themes from the morning session, followed by a shorter session of gentle yoga and contemplation.
We end the day with a closing circle and a simple practice for taking insights revealed from our time together and folding them into our daily lives. After a sweet treat, our retreat day will end at 3:30 pm.
Price: $195
Space limited to ten women.
Please email Dayna for registration and payment information.
