2:00 pm - 4:00 pm “Inward Journey” We will look at using the classical yoga system described by the sage Patanjali, which contains eight limbs that form a system of practice and point toward a final goal: the realization of one’s pure and essential nature. Each limb has a distinct role to play in this unfolding process, and together they provide both an order of practice and a measure of attainment.

Saturday Workshops
Stilling the “Mind Chatter Explore why the wheels on our "mental bus" always seem to be going round and round and strategies on how we can manage our thoughts to better serve us.

She currently has a private practice in Bridgewater, Ma where she offers a combination of holistic modalities, as well as, individual, couples and family counseling.
Shamanic Journey The spirit journey is a time-honored shamanic method of inner consultation. It is a way of communicating with your inner or spirit self and retrieving information. Your inner self is in constant communication with all aspects of your environment, seen and unseen. You need only journey within to find answers to your questions. Maria daSilva is an educator who teaches immigrant children at the public school level and other educators at the graduate level. She is also a practicing shaman, trained by Alberto Villoldo and the Four Winds Society. She founded Sustainable Plymouth after receiving The Earth Keeper rights during her shamanic training.

Bhavani has practiced and taught many techniques of meditation, including mantra, for over 40 years. She also teaches yogic tools to transform stress; and the power of the voice, including sounding, singing, chanting, sound healing, and public speaking. She has conducted inspirational seminars, sounding experiences, and vocal coaching in educational, medical, corporate, and religious settings.
Sunday Workshops
Restorative Yoga In restorative yoga, props are used for support the body so that you can hold poses for longer, allowing you to open your body through passive stretching. Restorative postures are usually adapted from supine or seated yoga poses with the addition of blocks, bolsters, and blankets to eliminate unnecessary straining. Laurie Boucher is a certified Restorative Yoga instructor who also teaches beginner yoga, Yogafit and Yoga therapy.
Shake Your Chakras Celebrate your inner dancer by blending yoga with expressive movement. Kim Saunders is a Kripalu certified yoga instructor. She holds an associate’s degree in education and art. Over the last 25 years she has taught children and adults everything from art to yoga. She is the Activities Director at her family owned campground and Resident Services at the Village at Duxbury. Kim has found a way to bring her passion for yoga and her campground business together by hosting retreats at the facility in Plymouth. RYT

From The Journey
…..But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do –
determined to save
the only life you could save.
~ Mary Oliver ~
