Before living in Toronto, Sarah Jane had worked on an organic farm in Guelph, which had a big magical barn she liked to spend time in. SJ later moved to Toronto and met Leila at a yoga teacher training where they almost instantly became best friends. Together their dream was to plan a retreat where people could disengage from the day-to-day and focus in on themselves, their surroundings, and make
meaningful connections to others. They told their dream to their tech pal Nick, and he helped turn it into reality. On Saturday July 8th, they will be hosting the day and a half retreat at Zocalo Organics Farm. Imagine a day of outdoor strolls to the swimming pond, learning to reconnect with real foods, and farm from the very people who put produce on our tables. The delicious meals we eat will be from what we pick or from very nearby. We will also be connecting to our bodies and minds by doing active, restorative, sunset, and sunrise yoga. There will be a nutritionist giving us helpful tips, bartenders sampling tequila (whoot!?), and a ukelele guide for anyone who wants to learn. Bring your tent and cross your fingers that the fireflies will light up the evening. Meet good people around the campfire at night and share coffee with them in the morning. Skip to 2020, retreat was a success, Sarah Jane now lives in Abu Dhabi, and Leila in Toronto, but still we want the same. Reconnection, to the magical, to the real, to the silly. Let's share movement, recipes, art! Tell us what reconnects you?
