ABOUT THE RETREAT

Join Afton Muir for a daylong mini-retreat where self-care practice and embodied philosophy converge in restful and nourishing rhythms. Themes of self-care, embodiment, and compassion naturally expand toward interdependence, inter-being, and engaged ethics.

Participants can expect deep rest and potent contemplation. The retreat schedule will include prompts for reflection, a range of gentle movement practices, and guided meditation, with breaks for journaling, group discussion, and lunch.

Please bring a sack lunch, a journal, and something to write with. Wear comfortable clothes. To honor space for reflection and attunement, participants will be invited to observe noble silence unless engaged in structured discussion periods.
