Yoga & Drumming Retreat
January 28-29, 2012
RHYTHM IN STILLNESS: Opening to the Beloved through Yoga & Drumming
What would my life and relationships be like if my intent were just to be present—not to be efficient, be productive, accomplish anything, learn anything, meet a goal, or “use” my time wisely? In this weekend retreat, we will have the opportunity to answer the call of Spirit to come away to a quiet place where we will not be distracted by the demands of the world. During this time of renewal, we will experience yoga and drumming as prayer forms as we practice contemplative prayer in the form of devotional chanting, meditation, conscious breathing, yoga postures and group drumming.
No prior experience with yoga or drumming is necessary. Please bring a yoga mat, blanket, belt or strap, and comfortable clothes in which to stretch.
You are welcome to bring a drum and drums will be provided.
