THE LIGHT IS HERE
Join sisters and yoga teachers Julie Peacock and Sara Beck for a refreshing weekend of yoga, meditation, nature, nourishing food, and sisterhood-community. Together, in the beautiful Shawangunk Mountains just north of New York City, we will restore ourselves with practices of movement and rest, connection and quiet, letting go of what no longer serves us and remembering our connection to the spacious light that is both within and without.
Early bird prices start at $620. If you live in the area, we are also offering commuter rates for $475/ weekend (includes yoga, activities, and meals)
