"I thought
the earth remembered me, she took me back so tenderly, arranging her dark skirts,
her pockets
full of lichens and seeds

PART OF MOUNTAIN YOGA'S 20TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION!
REGISTRATION

"It is with pleasure and a sense of adventure that I bring writing-to-heal to Mountain Yoga on Saturday, September 17th.  This is my first visit into that sacred space.  Already I am inspired by discussions with Mountain Yoga teacher Nina Schnall.  Her words serve as the best description for what our 3-hour journey will be, she writes: “John’s workshop will help us slow down to access that medicine of the natural world.” This mini-retreat says yes to slowing down and yes to making easy access to the natural world.  We will weave together writing with your unique and innate creativity.  We will explore this “medicine” via poetry, song and inspirational words drawn from yoga, spiritual traditions, and those who love the living earth. No prior experience with writing is necessary! "
