Retreat Into Gratitude

“GRATITUDE BESTOWS REVERENCE, ALLOWING US TO CREATE EVERYDAY EPIPHANIES; THOSE TRANSLUCENT MOMENTS OF AWE THAT CHANGE FOREVER HOW WE EXPERIENCE LIFE AND THE WORLD” ~ JOHN MILTON

This year Stacia, Daphne, & Amrita invite you to beat the summer heat and head north to the majestic Catskill mountains during the dog days of summer to come together in gratitude. This time of the summer season calls us to slow down & unwind! Through rest, stillness, connecting with nature and community; we hope you will join us as we meditate on all of the abundance and gifts we have harvested in 2019. May we begin to sow the seeds for a more fulfilled life in 2020! By cultivating more gratitude and recognizing our interconnection; one can bring more happiness, love, and compassion into this and every moment we are privileged to live.
