Visions & Longings: A Retreat to Explore Land & Human Life Force
August 8 – August 10
Register by June 30 for early bird rate $695
We are Nature! Through the concepts of natural law and darshan we’ll immerse for a weekend in how to know ourselves through the land. Guided by a teaching on nehiyaw/Cree worldview of natural law by Knowledge Keeper/Cultural Advisor Joseph Naytowhow, an introduction to the Hindu/Buddhist concept of darshan (focus will be a Buddhist lens) with international Yoga teacher and author, Brenda Feuerstein, plus a guided earth walk in Grasslands with conservationist, rangeland agrologist/rancher and member of the Treaty Land Sharing Network, Tom Harrison, we’ll intentionally explore our relationship with the land to develop conscious reciprocity.
The weekend will include a simple assignment and reflective walking followed by pranayama breath, in studio meditation and written/visual response to distill this potent experience. We’ll fledge a nourishing personal practice and consider potential personal actions as a step forward in this earth challenged time.
Two nights accommodation with organic breakfast, nutritious snacks, Saturday potluck and all materials provided $795 to honour the weekend. Bonfire at Sky Story B & B, weather and fire ban pending.
Early bird registration to June 30th: $695.
Non-accommodation $595. Limited space.
Location: Sky Story Studio, 103 1st Avenue, Val Marie, SK and Grasslands National Park
