Inner Sanctuary: A Weekend of Quiet Awakening

From: November 7, 2008, 1:00pm
Until: November 9, 2008, 1:59pm

Yoga. Coaching. Massage.

November 7-9, 2008

Registered Yoga Instructor and Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist Shelley Harris and Katie Mattson are hosting Inner Sanctuary: A Weekend of Quiet Awakening.

We have been dreaming up some amazing details. First, we found a beautiful location that we know you will love. It's called the Embracing Simplicity Hermitage and it's less than two hours away in Hendersonville, NC. It is a Buddhist retreat center (though you certainly do not need to be Buddhist to attend). Between the peaceful nature within the buildings and the calming paths that run through the woods, we fell in love with it immediately.

Settle into your inner sanctuary during this mostly silent retreat. Awaken your body, senses and inner sage. Each participant will receive a one-hour massage and a one-hour coaching session during the weekend. We'll begin each morning with Shelley leading a yoga class and end each evening with Katie guiding us through a meditation. Each afternoon will be yours to do with as you wish. All accommodations, food and activities are included in the registration fee.
