Vermont Summer Sweetness Retreat
July 7 – 9, 2017
Join Laura Ahrens at Metta Earth, a beautiful mecca of sustainability and heart-centered living off the land in Lincoln, Vermont. The retreat includes three 90-minute active practices and two yin or restorative practices, with reiki and meditation interspersed throughout. Gillian Kapteyn will offer a tea making ceremony in which we learn to connect more deeply to plants and the earth and join in the art and meditation of sipping and sharing space, and will lead a walking meditation and final reflection before leaving to help integrate the lessons of retreating into our daily lives.
