Half-Day Yoga Retreat

Christ Episcopal Church will host a half-day yoga retreat on Sunday, December 8, from 1:30-5:00 p.m. in the sanctuary. We’ll begin our time with a few words of welcome and an easy stretch as a group. We’ll continue with a spiritual teaching by Desiree, who is both our in-house yoga instructor and a Spiritual Director, helping folks to befriend themselves on their path to authentic connection with the Holy. Drawing from ancient and contemporary wisdom, Desiree brings an awareness of how the body holds onto our experiences, and that the body needs to be included in our inner processes of healing and spiritual growth. Following the teaching, we will reflect as a group while enjoying herbal tea and light refreshments. Moving from contemplative conversation to mindful movement, we will transition into a 75-minute, all-levels yoga flow. After luxuriating in this time spent caring for our bodies and souls, we will conclude by a brief time of reflection on our experiences during our shared yoga practice. As a yoga teacher and practitioner, Desiree is delighted to roll out her mat alongside you and see what we discover together. Please RSVP for this retreat to our Assisting Pastor Cal at cal@ccla.us. You are welcome to make a suggested donation of $20 at https://christchurchlosaltos.org/give, with "Yoga Retreat" in the memo line. All are welcome, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. We look forward to sharing this restful and invigorating afternoon with you!
