SPRING INTO WHOLENESS: A retreat to pause, reflect and grow!
10:00 AM – 2:00 PM EST | $120.00
Take this time in the spring to relax, regroup and renew your energy. Life is busy. Let this half-day retreat be an oasis for you to feel nourished, hopeful, and at ease. This will be a balance of yoga practices, mindfulness and deep rest.
Today, I was remembering how grateful I was to be on retreat with so many beautiful souls last November in Asheville. To be in community practicing meditation, yoga, deep rest and connecting is a true gift. I can`t really put into words, the magic that occurs when we`re around like-minded people. The ripple effect is very real of feeling good, Whole and renewed. We come together to remember who we are, to learn to let go and forgive, to build a sense of connectivity, and to deepen our relationship to self. For me, I am always looking for more spaciousness in my body/mind too. My next two retreats will be just as meaningful. I hope you can join us! (4 cabins left for July 25-28th, more for Nov 7-10th). Links in bio. I offer scholarships for all my retreats so please let me know if you want to apply. REPLY "YES!" and I`ll send you more details about retreat and the location which is divine.
I love writing so much. I`ve had a journal since 7th grade that I write in not infrequently. I also take notes and journal after every yoga and meditation practice and during every retreat I attend. Writing for me has become a way of honoring, reminding, learning, and fulfilling. I look back on my journals with curiosity and feel into the growth and changes that occur in life. I`m finally taking some of my musings to Substack to both discover, and offer what I`ve learned in my therapy practice on and off the "couch" and meditation "cushion". Join me over there, it`s so much fun! (sharonhyman.substack.com)
I learned a lot today at the Rainbow Community School science fair! How to drop an egg safely from the highest playground tower, how to make dill pickles and magnetic slime, homemade paint colors and boba tea, to name a few! Great job 4th graders!!
I gave myself the morning off to hike beautiful Max Patch, an easy, less than 2-mile, loop about an hour or so away from my town. I took my time so I got to really enjoy the moments alone out there. At the summit, there`s a 360 degree view which is breathtaking. Getting out in Nature soothes my soul, helps me ground and "remember" who I am. I see the vastness of the Sky, mountains and clouds, and I can feel my nervous system relax. I begin to breathe differently. I am aware of more sounds including the wind, the birds and the trees moving. I felt alive, whole and strong. There was almost nobody there because of the time of year which was perfectly fine by me. I sat and meditated at the top. Rocks in the shape of hearts kept finding me. I sang out loud the whole way down "I have everything I need" (lyrics of a Trevor Hall song). I couldn`t dream of a better life!
Another trip around the sun! I’m so grateful, joyful and blessed to be surrounded by love, dear friends, community, meaningful work and family. I do not take any of this for granted.
As a former vegetarian for over 30 years, it is still my preference to eat mostly plant based. Our bodies need an ever-evolving diet to truly adapt to our aging needs. I believe it`s important not to get too stuck or rigid with food but to truly listen to our bodies and selves. In the meantime, I still love experimenting with vegan dishes for the whole family. These were all hits! (2 out of 3 from of my fav cookbooks "VEGAN at Times, Jessica Steinfeld. Third recipe is Carrot/Ginger soup Ayurveda style).
Goodbye to The Land of Enchantment with your expansive skies, beautiful hikes, people, food, moons and sunrises. We have treasured every moment and squeezed out as much joy as possible. I feel so lucky and free when I travel. It’s as if I’m transported internally to a place that’s both familiar and sacred. Being out of the work/school routine helps me remember what truly matters. And I value so much being present to the beauty of life as it unfolds.
