Root. Nourish. Rise.

A Writing and Yoga Retreat

January 24-26

Episcopal House of Prayer
St. Joseph, MN

In the depth of winter, give yourself the gift of time to wander, think, read, write, rest, move, nourish, and connect. Embrace words and silence. Engage with and create art on the page. Eat and create beauty. Show your body self-compassion through gentle movement. Dwell in the spaciousness of nature.
