Stillness & Strength: A Grounding Fall Equinox Retreat
With Gina Rafkind
September 21 - 23, 2025
As the seasons shift and the days find their perfect balance of light and dark, we are invited to do the same within ourselves.
Join us for a soul-nourishing retreat designed to ground your body, steady your heart, and reconnect you to the quiet strength that lives within. Through intentional yoga practices, breathwork, and moments of stillness, you’ll align with the natural rhythms of the Earth and honor this sacred seasonal transition.
Expect grounding movement, deep relaxation, reflective journaling, and supportive community — all set against the backdrop of autumn’s golden glow.
Take this time to pause, breathe, and return to your center.
Surrounded by the peaceful beauty of the Catskill Mountains, you’ll be guided to slow down, reconnect, and replenish your spirit. Step away from the busyness of daily life and give yourself the space to embrace balance, nurture inner resilience, and plant seeds of intention for the season ahead.
