The Becoming Retreat with Katrina McGiffin, MSN, CYT: October 17th - 19th

This magical weekend retreat will invite you into a deeper connection with the sacred journey of your own becoming, calling you to remember and reclaim the parts of yourself that may have been dimmed, lost, or set aside.

Nestled in the breathtaking beauty of the Columbia Gorge, we will gather for meditation, embodied movement, guided reflection, sisterhood and soulful ceremonial practices. In the safety of an intimate circle of women, you’ll have space to explore the early passages of becoming—adolescence, early adulthood, and early motherhood—honoring the layers of your story as they rise to the surface in body, heart, and spirit.

This is a sacred adventure of remembrance and reclamation for those who feel the call.

New Class with Shana Rose & Gabriel Rivers…Restorative & Sound on Monday evenings, 7:30-8:30 pm.

Guided by Shana, savor deeply restful & rejuvenating poses as you are bathed in beautiful, meditative soundscapes offered by Gabriel.

Shana loves to live her life by the philosophical principles of the 8 fold path, practicing gratitude for nature and food and people- she sees everything as sacred and celebrates all with ritual. She enjoys teaching Ayurveda, meditation, yoga and has a spiritual life coaching business. Shana has lived with indigenous shemanic communities holding space for plant medicine ceremonies in Guatemala and Mexico. During her work exchange in the Yoga Forest retreat center, she enjoyed connecting with travellers through offering Ayurvedic Abhyanga massage, cupping and facial. Outside the studio, you can find Shana doing art in her hammock or rollerblading by the water.

Gabriel has been sharing the gifts of yoga, energy and sound healing since 2014. His lineage is baptiste vinyasa and ashtanga, but has balanced the fire of his practice through his devotion to chanting and sound healing. Gabriel has been a sponsored yoga brand athlete and his journey has led him from leading handstand workshops to opening a sound healing temple in Seattle. He has also filmed with the likes of Seane Corne and Patrick Beach, taught yoga internationally and it is this culmination of experiences that is the embodiment of his teaching style. He is now a gorge resident and looks forward to the sharing of his perspective of balance, personal peace and joyous living.

We hope you enjoy this very special offering.

We are thankful to you both, and !
