Summer Bhakti Flow + Yin Yoga:

An All Inclusive Yoga Retreat in the High Desert, Oregon

with Claire Zurbrugg and Leah Adams

July 14-17, 2023

Join Claire and Leah on a 50 acre sanctuary perched on the rim of the crooked river 30 miles north of Bend Oregon. In the mornings we’ll practice meditations and devotional bhakti vinyasa flow yoga. In the evenings we unwind with Yin Yoga and restorative breathwork. Explore an ancient meditation labyrinth designed to take you into the center of yourself. Rest among a family of trees in an ancestor forest garden. Soak in the breathtaking views of the private canyon.

On retreat, we'll facilitate a session that is focused on thought-provoking and insightful conversations exploring the connection between individual impact and intentional community action, specific to those of us living here in the beautiful PNW. “Reduce, reuse, recycle.” “Reduce your carbon footprint” “Think global and act local.” - these are touchstones we are all familiar with. Many of us have already embraced these foundational practices. How do we go beyond the basics  to build sustainable community practices? Caring for the planet and each other is another form of self-care. Come together in a non-judgemental community to share wisdom, energy, practice and hope. Leave with inspiration for taking intentional self-aligned action. Recent research shows that taking an active role in alleviating suffering is a buffer against stress, depression, and feeling overwhelmed. Together we’ll remember just how powerful each of us are to make a difference in the spaces we inhabit.

You are invited to slow down & notice the High Desert, against all odds, blooming with intricate diverse life.
