“Many people have mis-conceptions about retreats. Some think they are tied to a particular religion or are very rigid and restricted. Some may be, but not mine. My retreats are a combination of good nutritious (and delicious!) food, fun but challenging yoga practices, some heartfelt soul searching and rest. You will deepen your practice, make new lifelong connections with new friends and leave feeling stronger, healthier and more relaxed than you’ve ever been.”  Shawn Shaw

“A calmness develops with intensive concentration practice that has a remarkably stable quality to it. It is steadfast, profound, hard to disturb, no matter what comes up.   It is a great gift to oneself to be able periodically to cultivate Samadhi (blissful surrender) over an extended period of time. This is most readily accomplished on long retreats, when one can withdraw from the world (a la Thoreau for this very purpose)” Jon Kabot-Zinn
