Upcoming Retreats:
Yoga Book Club Retreat, January 31-February 3, 2025
Join me from Friday, January 31-Monday February 3, 2025 for an amazing weekend of yoga, meditation, book discussions, delicious food, and incredible community connection!
We’ll be reading Radical Acceptance: Embracing Your Life with the Heart of a Buddha by Tara Brach, Ph.D.
I first listened to this book in June and am so excited to share it with you! I am looking forward to our discussions!
How this retreat works:
- Read the book ahead of time. Feel free to jot down any thoughts or feelings you have along the way. I tend to underline and put post-it notes all throughout, but you can do what works for you.
- We’ll gather together on Friday, January 31st, 2025 at Nine Mountain Retreat Center in Plainfield, MA to discuss this wonderful book. Interspersed between discussions we’ll practice yoga to move and stretch, practice meditation based on what we’re reading and discussing, and get some time outdoors (weather permitting) to walk in the woods and in the neighborhood.
- We’ll be eating delicious, homemade, locally sourced food created with love and intention. The chefs can accommodate any health or dietary restrictions, so if you have any, please let me know so I can pass it along.
This is a wonderful weekend with kind and thoughtful people and I would love for you to be there!
A taste of what to expect:
- Daily all levels yoga practices to move and stretch, both before and after sitting
- Daily meditation practices to ground and practice what we discuss
- 2-3 daily book discussions to explore and reflect on the concepts in the book and how you might apply them to your life
- Delicious, healthy, locally sourced food made with love
- Comfortable lodging to support your body and mind
- Walking outside (weather permitting)
- Down time to reflect, relax, and rest
- A warm, welcoming community of people interested in growth, connection, and compassion to understand themselves
What people are saying:
“From the moment I sat in the first circle, I felt safe, even with people I mostly didn’t know. Janine held the space like a loving, accepting embrace. In this space of openness and vulnerability, with other like-minded humans, I was able to deepen my self-compassion and move it from something I knew in my head to something I could feel in my heart.“
“Thank you, Janine, for your expertise in creating a trust circle for all to safely participate at any level. I felt so nourished on multiple levels; mind, body, heart, and soul. Thank you for your attention to detail and caring touch throughout the weekend! You are amazing!“
“Not always easy to be open and frank about self criticism but Janine created such a trusting and safe environment that everyone was able to share painful incidents without shame. There is no one better equipped to lead such thought provoking sessions than Janine and for that, I have extraordinary gratitude and an abiding love for her and her practices.“
“The yoga retreat is a beautiful gift in which one gets to share, grow, and be supported by the group and expertly executed by our amazing mentor and guide Janine. When the body, mind, and soul have been expertly nourished through meditation and yoga, (and amazing food!) in a comfortable and safe environment, knowledge and growth shows no limits. We leave the retreat craving more and look forward to the next opportunity to expand our consciousness with an amazingly skilled and wonderful instructor! 🙏“
