Friday and Saturday follow a structured rhythm of early morning prayers and meditation, breakfast, extended thematic workshops on embodiment, emotional expression, inner strength, compassion, voice, and archetypal leadership, along with daily yoga, shared meals, and evening meditation and dinner, with optional cultural experiences such as a chocolate and coffee tour on Saturday afternoon. Each day closes with evening teachings or practices and a return to silence. The retreat concludes on Sunday with morning meditation and yoga, a final breakfast, a closing “Goddess Ceremony” focused on wisdom and integration, a final Sri Sukta recitation, lunch, and checkout at 12:30 PM.

Testimonials

info

Gwen R. was a fabulous teacher. I loved her workshop. I gained so much knowledge and understanding of the issues facing me as I journeyed out of alcoholism. I learned many new tools that correlate perfectly with my love for yoga. Gwen led each session with the proper balance of group discussion and sharing, and then a yoga class blending the 12 steps and Chakras to make the experience deep and meaningful. Gwen sent me home with a positive glow and hope. I cannot wait until she returns to Kripalu again.

Another soul-filling retreat filled with yoga and meditation. Our gathering time in meetings provides a very intimate and safe place to really share.
