Winter Solstice marks the darkest night of the year, and yet it is the time when we also turn toward the light. It is from a longing to be of service and to offer the peace of yoga, that Gillian, Co-Director of Metta Earth, and Laura Ahrens, advanced yoga teacher and practitioner, both long time yoga colleagues and co-guides, dreamed up this retreat. We will be guiding you with a medley of practices for greater resilience within the companionship of community. We trust the solstice magic will bring you hope, restoration, and renewal.
