✨ ✨ Presenter Spotlight: Jennifer Anne Tucker, MFA, herbalist/artist ✨

✨Jennifer received her master of fine arts degree in photography from Penn State University. She has been a practicing herbalist and flower essence practitioner for more than 35 years. Her herbal studies workshops are popular throughout Pennsylvania.

✨Jennifer will be leading a Plant Identification and Education Walk: a walk-about to discover and identify how seasonal plants, bushes and trees of the area communicate their unique survival skills and how we can learn to partner with respect in preserving their habitat with ours, proper harvesting and preparation methods of wild foods and medicine plants growing around us. Together we co-create in ways to deepen our intuition, influence our physiology, and share soul with the vegetative “Green” beings. You already have everything within yourself to make this a reality!

🌲Three days to get into the woods, shed all that no longer ignites your soul, and greet life with fresh eyes. All nourishing meals by Elaine from Webster's Bookstore & Cafe are included! 🌱🍄‍🟫🥒🥬

✨ Presenter Spotlight ✨ Lynn Theodose ✨ Lynn discovered Yoga in her late thirties after moving to the island of Kauai. She wandered into Yoga Hanalei looking for community and a path through unresolved grief. She found them both and met her teacher, Bhavani Maki. Lynn studied closely with Bhavani for 8 years, with a deep focus on alignment details and the Patanjali Yoga Sutra. Lynn completed her teacher training in 2009 and has been teaching ever since - leading yoga and meditation classes, asana and philosophy workshops, and assisting in Teacher Trainings in four states. Yoga will set you free, and Lynn considers it her Kuliana (responsibility and great privilege) to help her students discover that they are holding the keys.

Lynn will be leading Dialed In: The Love is in the details! We’ll move slowly and mindfully with a focus on asana refinement. Explore how small foundational details help clear your energy channels to better receive wisdom transmissions from the ancient masters and your own heart. Keep fine-tuning your antenna, and the message grows crisper and clearer! 75 minutes.

Looking forward to this time in nature SO MUCH. To find out more, head to https://www.jennydyoga.com/wellness-in-the-wild-retreat
