Whidbey Island Retreat Information

Classes. The 4 classes offered daily are varying combinations of asana, breath practices, meditation and restoration.  Please bring your own mat, blanket, strap, blocks and bolsters if you have them. We are able to provide some but not enough for all.
 

Meals. The food is phenomenal. Organic, locally sourced (some grown on site).  Not exclusively vegan/vegetarian.  Don't be surprised to see bacon and eggs at breakfast or fish and chicken at dinner.
Special dietary needs easily met. Coffee, tea, muffins, cookies, snacks available at all times.

Accommodations. There are 2 beautiful large houses and a couple of small cabins. See link to Institute for images. Each house has a lot of light and is beautifully situated. Most rooms are doubles. If you have a group of 5 friends, one cluster is a double and a triple together in its own area. All sheets, towels, pillows provided. There are several bathrooms and a large kitchen plus fire place or wood stove in addition to central heat (unlikely we will need that). All kitchens will be stocked with organic chocolate. You are welcome to bring wine to keep in your house. I trust everyone to be conscientious and respectful in their varying choices. Housing assignments will be made with the following guidelines:

If you have someone you specifically want to room with, I am happy to accommodate that. 

Anyone who has challenges with injuries or abilities will be placed in the house closer to the practice and meal lodge/hall. “Granny’s” is a longer walk so if you love to walk or want to move more, let me know and I will give you preference for that house. I will do the best I can to accommodate everyone's wishes.

Use of labyrinth and the Sanctuary, an extraordinary separate space in which silence is observed. 

100 acres of trails to wander on and trees to lean against. 

Saturday Farmer’s Market nearby in Langley and additional activities we will suggest in the packet.
