MORNING WELLNESS SESSIONS – 8:30 to 9:30 AM MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY COST $25.00 per day |
Yoga with Lees Yunits If moderate strength building, flexibility, and peace of mind are of interest to you, join this Yoga class. There will be one-hour sessions every morning during this week.

Don't forget your mat, preferable block, and small blanket! | Meditation with Pete Cormier
Each day will have a new focus in mindfulness and meditation. You’ll explore different aspects of mindfulness as follows: Monday: Why the Breath? Tuesday: Our Restless Mind Wednesday: The Body Knows Thursday: Mindful Daily Life Friday: Mindful Self Care Each session is designed to stand alone, so you should feel free to take sessions that would be most helpful to you.

Drumming with 'Adja' (aka Sue Landers) Explore your internal rhythms and play with the different sounds a djembe drum makes, and learn a rhythm from West Africa. Drumming relieves stress and provides an opportunity to creatively express the rhythm within. It is a great way to connect to yourself and others.
| Gentle Stretching with Dianne Voikos Body awareness is the key focus of this class. Each class will begin with centering and breath awareness followed by a flow of gentle stretches. Everyone is unique in their ability to stretch. Bring a yoga mat, yoga block, and stretching strap.

Visual Journaling with Debra Shaffer, ISEA (Mon, Tues, Wed only)
Experiment, connect, and emerge through three days of visual journaling. Sometimes we just need permission to play, and to become aware of and follow our own stream of consciousness, rather than to orchestrate a potential end result! In this way creative ideas may emerge and develop naturally. This approach can lead to surprises and "aha" moments. Join us for an exciting way to approach Visual Journaling in your own art practice.
WORKSHOPS MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY: 9:30 AM TO 3:30 PM
cost $175 per day
