Landscapes: Exploring Yoga, Writing, and Rest
Join us on the grounds of the Sitka Fine Arts Camp for a weekend of yoga, writing, and rest with Julia O’Malley and Margi Clifford.
Landscapes with psychotherapist Margi Clifford is an exploration of the interconnectedness of all. We will practice noticing connections, facilitating ease, clarifying intention, and JOY! In service to both healing and growth, for ourselves and all beings, we dedicate this time and devote ourselves to practice.
Students can expect a mix of active and passive practices with variations offered and deconstructed for everyone from beginners to advanced practitioners. Inclusion is a primary objective of this practice and all beings are invited to participate.
Meditation opportunities are offered daily on retreat and instruction is provided for those who are new to the practice. Rest, meals, adventures and excursions round out the schedule and within its structure we find freedom! Time stands still for precious moments on these retreats and the impressions of your experience here will stay with you.
Landscapes with journalist Julia O’Malley is a prompt-based writing workshop that employs a gentle, no-judgement, no-homework, memoir process, focused on techniques that stoke creativity, make room for reflection, conquer the inner critic, hone listening skills and develop strategies to deeply explore memory and find insight. You’ll come away with seeds for longer essays as well as tested guidance on the writing process and practice.
