Workshops & Retreats
Women's Aldermarsh Retreat Weekend: October 27 - 29, 2023
Join Us for an Intimate Retreat Experiece
Intentionally limited to 14 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 a chef at Harvest Beat, one of our favorite restaurants, and now is a chef at Revel. 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

- Two evening circles
- Vegetarian meals beginning with dinner on Friday night and ending with lunch on Sunday afternoon

If you book before August 1, 2023, a non-refundable deposit of $500 is due, and after August 1, full payment. Much time, energy, and planning goes into our retreat. For this reason, once booked, refunds are not possible. In extreme circumstances, we will try to offer your space to another participant, and in this case, if we are able to fill your space, you would be offered a refund, less $100 for administration.

We will finish with a closing Circle.
