Limitless

Friday/Saturday, April 16 & 17

With Kamini Desai

Learn the tools to become liberated with immeasurable opportunities in all your experiences in life.  Dive deep into an experience of yourself unhindered by limits, blocks, worries or fears.

Many of us do not recognize that we live within the boundaries of our own mind.
Without even noticing we close off the possibility of what we’re capable of
beyond the limited ideas we have of ourselves. With unerring accuracy the
mind reinforces our perception of the world and the body dutifully reflects
these boundaries as psychic and physical limitations. Over time, these patterns
of thinking and feeling are energetically and physically “worn” by the body.
Left unresolved, these often manifest as chronic tension, agitation and health
imbalances in the body.

Through the deep release of energetic patterning, participants report measurable
shifts in physical capacity, improved physical vitality, greater postural
alignment and insight into emotional patterns manifesting as physical imbalance
in the body.

• Using yoga therapy experience being fully supported in a series of yoga poses
allowing you to consciously encounter energetic holding patterns without
strain.

• Release the build-up of subtle energetic tensions that inhibit health, range
of movement and produce chronic stress

• Unwind unfinished issues held in the body using Active Meditation; a technique
utilizing conscious feeling, breath and meditative self-awareness to resolve
emotional and energetic blocks.

• Learn to listen to the voice of the body and the guidance it is trying to give
you.

• Understand how to use your regular asana practice to release holding patterns
on an ongoing basis.

Full Moon Nature & Culinary Retreat
in South Carolina’s Low-Country

Palm Key, Knowles Island, SC

June 24-27, 2010

$695 includes accommodations, 6 meals and snacks, kayak trips, yoga sessions, and retreat activities to rejuvenate the body-mind connection.

Enjoy nature in the Low-Country of South Carolina.  We invite you to be a part of this nature-based resort of Palm Key, just outside of Hilton Head Island, SC.  The cottages on this private 350 acre island hug the beautiful Broad River as it reaches toward the sea.  All of the cottages have breath-taking views of marshlands, woods and ponds.  Each cottage has designer kitchens, modern appliances and spacious living areas, perfect for relaxing, rejuvenating, yoga sessions, and feeling a sense of peace.

Our hosts, Karen Voepel and Kristi Ried-Barton have a very unique getaway weekend planned just for you.  Yoga sessions will begin the day, with a delicious, wholesome breakfast on the spacious porches while fresh breezes blow in off the salt marshes.  Mediate while walking the circles inside the labyrinth or among the blue bottle garden.  You may see hawks, great blue herons, sandhill cranes, snowy egrets, or one of the many 250 species of birds that call Palm Key home.

We will be providing your nutritious meals throughout the retreat, except for the off-site tour/excursion.  Based on organic and wholesome menus, you will enjoy a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, grains and local fish that will tantalize your senses and soothe the psyche.  Wine tasting will be part of the evening menus.

As the high tide arrives at our back door, we have planned outings in kayaks on the Broad River and the salt marshes.  Watch the beautiful sunset right outside our door prior to the rising of the full moon. And we will paddle by the light of the moon on an evening trip designed especially for our group.

Nearby I-95 leads to some of the South’s most beautiful architecture in Savannah, Hilton Head Island, Beaufort and Charleston as well as antebellum sites throughout the countryside.  We have a tour/excursion trip planned to visit some of the best touring, eating, and shopping of this area.

We have a limited number of spaces available for our guests.  A non-refundable deposit of $150 will hold your space for this trip.

For those returning (you have attended any of our Ojo Caliente Retreats in the past) we offer a 10% discount off this retreat.

For those choosing to attend both retreats, Palm Key and Ojo Caliente, in 2010, we offer a 20% discount when you book both retreats together.
