Aldermarsh Weekend Retreat: October 4 - 6, 2024
Join Us for an Intimate Retreat Experiece
Intentionally limited to 15 or fewer participants, we hope you’ll join us on Whidbey Island at the lovely Aldermarsh House Retreat Center. Aldermarsh is located in Clinton, at the south end of the island, not far from the ferry terminal. Aldermarsh is a secluded sanctuary, set on five acres of beautiful marshland.
As always, our retreats are centered around nurturing and nourishing you. During our retreat weekend, we’ll practice yoga in the Marsh house, a sacred space, which has an exquisite natural hardwood floor and overlooks the lush marshlands.
We have also hired one of Seattle’s most beloved vegetarian chefs, Jacob Wilding, to cook for us during the retreat. For many years, Jacob was the chef at Harvest Beat, one of our favorite plant-based restaurants. Jacob is also a graduate of our Synergy Yoga Teacher Training program, 2014/2015. Jacob’s food is absolutely delicious, nourishing, creative, and healthy. We are so honored that he will be our chef for the weekend.
Special Notes: Because we want to create a sacred and healing retreat space, please do not bring or consume alcohol or any other substances while on retreat.
What is Included:
- Accommodation in the room of your choice
- Four yoga sessions
- Two evening circles
- Vegetarian meals beginning with dinner on Friday night and ending with brunch on Sunday
