Join me for a weekend retreat filled with movement, inquiry, connection and magic at the beautiful and tranquil Salt Spring Centre of Yoga, BC Canada. We will be nourished with delicious food prepared by Shani Cranston,  while we embrace the land and welcome the arrival of Spring. Together, we will delve into the experience of truly INHABITING ourselves. We will be held within the 5Rhythms practice, circle, writing, and land-based ceremony, with nature guiding our journey.
