Radical Recap: stories + photos from our February yoga retreat!
We think we will remember it all. In reality, our memories are like cheesecloth. So many precious moments slip right on through. When we journal at a retreat, even by making a bullet point list of sights, sounds, smells, sensations, experiences, and tastes, we are putting together the memory. We are actively working to add context to the experience. This helps us reminisce later! So here we go… let’s reminisce!
Surprise: Camp Bliss this Spring!

2023 Retreat Reflections, Part I
My reflection mode status is officially activated. In remembering highs and lows of 2023, I thought I’d share my most memorable moments while at retreats in 2023.
Hush
In America we so often agree on a time to slow down and rest. The period of time between the Winter Solstice, Dec 21st, and the New Year is a period made for deep, soul nourishing rest- Yuletide. Steep in all things warm and cozy. Step away from anything and everything that stresses you. Life is meant to be enjoyed- find ways to enjoy it.
Thoughts on Winter Solstice
Winter Solstice is a marker in time that allows us to reflect. I like to focus specifically on my relationship with Winter around the time of the solstice. I share a few of my Hygge and Friluftsliv ideas for embracing this long season in Minnesota.
