Class description

Life is serious business for many of us. And in a serious world, it can be difficult to give ourselves permission to embrace our creative spirit and inner aliveness. The blocks can be numerous; from perfectionism to time and/or financial restraints, insecurities, the shear messiness of it, to the discomfort we often feel investing in our own joy when the world is heavy. But even in the most serious matters of life or work, creativity is the key to problem solving. And an openness to play is the key to creativity. 

We invite you to join us for this small group, co-ed retreat as we carve out the time and space to playfully use yoga, qigong, meditation, art, writing, and the natural world to optimize energy within the mind, body, and spirit, in order to improve health, well-being, and the cultivation of our innate creativity. 

Come as you are, wherever you are in your yoga, art, or writing experience. We will build trust in our abilities with playful prompts and activities that encourage expansion while also allowing for imperfection, impermanence, and the release of expectations and outcomes.

Come hungry: You will be served delicious farm-to-table meals to nourish your insides. 

Come to relax: You will have access to all that the Wild Rice Retreat Center grounds have to offer including 24 hour access to the Sauna Haus and Rain Room.

Come to commune: Connect with yourself, with nature, and with other kindreds as we laugh, move, and create together in a serene location away from the busyness of regular life.
