Creating Spaciousness in 2013: Ancient Practices to Enhance Our Modern Lives – This New Year’s retreat consciously cultivates the quality of Spaciousness in one’s life within Ghost Ranch’s 21,000 acre retreat setting. We’ll take advantage of the unique environment and combine it with the subtler contemplative techniques for all abilities setting the stage to remove that feeling of constriction we often experience due to the pressures of modern day life. Simple brief practices involving ordinary movement, breathing exercises, stillness and ritual that have been used over the centuries will be taught to ground and reclaim our lives. In addition, we will recognize the role of food as medicine and the importance that a holistic lifestyle plays in achieving a balanced life.
Spaciousness. Make it your priority for 2013.
