Menla Retreat * Catskills, Phoenicia, NY
Long Weekend retreat Thurs 10.30-Sun 11.2

October 31-November 1 marks the midpoint between the Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice. This signifies the deepening continuation of turning inward for essential restoration and reflection. Sacred Sound, Silence and Stillness straddles this significant Celestial and Earth rhythm, balancing the realm of illuminating dreams and quieted grounding. It is as though this macrocosmic time represents the microcosmic "in-between" of wakefulness and sleep, where one may find their consciousness hovering during restorative activities such as soundbaths. Retreat programming is designed to bolster your journey inward, immerse in the in-between and return to a natural, slowed state of being.Enjoy this liminal space between darkness and light with supportive modalities such as gong and sound immersion, stillness-oriented yoga such as yin and Yoga Nidra, grounded movement with a Hatha slow flow morning class and meditative hiking, reflective journaling and more! All located within the tranquil, serene woodland setting of Menla. The perfect space to embrace the peaceful, natural wilderness from within and without. Profound inner connection awaits you at Sacred Sound, Silence and Stillness.
