Friday ~~ Arrive at the parking area for a short boat ride out to Big Island. Settle into your space. We will meet in an opening circle, set our intentions for the weekend, and enjoy singing bowl / sound meditation led by Ben Carroll. We will have a meal and fire ceremony that evening as well.

Saturday ~ Wake up with gentle morning yoga led by Jeannine Burgess, and a delicious breakfast. We will then be guided in BreathWork with Brenda Colfer. There will be time for exploring the island and surrounding water. After lunch Todd Glacy will lead a Gong Meditation workshop. Enjoy some free time to swing in a hammock, or from the rope into the lake. We will gather for supper, and celebrate the evening around a bonfire. Ben, Brenda and Todd will bring their music and creativity to the circle. Feel free to bring your drums and rattles!
