Uplift Yoga Retreat at the Christine Center, November 14-16, 2025

The Still Point and the Turning: Dancing with Change

 

“You can do it like it's a great weight, or you can do it like it's part of the dance.” - Ram Dass

 

With world conflicts, climate disruption, political upheaval, technological shifts, and our own aging bodies, sometimes the world seems to be changing faster than we can keep up. We may coast along for a time, comfortable and complacent with the order of our lives, and that trickster Change, playing hide and seek, pops up, seemingly out of nowhere to jump-scare us into a state of nervous system chaos.

 

Do we fight, flee, freeze or faint?

 

When we recognize that change is a natural aspect of nature and is always afoot in everything and everywhere, perhaps we can instead choose to dance.

 

This retreat weekend will invite you to commit dedicated time and space to attend your own unchanging center, to connect to what you worship, to recognize your own guiding story and to accept the invitation to dance with change.

 

There is no better time and place than autumn at the Christine Center to reconnect with your own inner guidance.

 

Bring your big questions, your seeds of intention or anything you are cultivating in mind or body. Through the tools of yoga, labyrinth, sound, silence, movement, stillness, community, solitude and nature, you will immerse into the imaginal realm where anything is possible. We will explore our inner landscapes and return with the treasures we create.

 

Retreat runs from supper at 5:30 Friday through lunch on Sunday.

All meals, lodging and workshop sessions are included. Total cost is dependent on lodging choice: Rustic solo or shared, Modern shared, or Guest Room solo or shared.
