What is your vision - bhavana - for 2021?
In this weekend virtual retreat, you will clarify your vision for the unfolding new year, connect deeply with the underlying values that inspire you, chart a path to navigate through foreseen and unforeseen challenges, and build a community of diverse visionaries and creative spirits to support you as you move forward.
Led by Darby and Arielle. In the past, we have retreated to a beautiful estate in Southern California, but the real inspiration and growth has come from the workshops and yoga practice that we do together.
This year, we will harness the inspiration of our Create & Flow events, and bring our 5th annual yoga and creative vision weekend retreat to the comforts of your home.
We'll spend two days of soul-diving in light-spirited and deep-hearted workshops that integrate the yoga practices of asana and meditation, along with inspiration from our lives as creative artists and our studies in creativity research, the hero's journey, and The Artist's Way.
Each day will begin with the body: a yoga practice on the mat. From there we will connect the mind and spirit through meditation, writing, and small- and large-group community conversation.
Bring an open heart, a journal, and something to write with. Wear comfortable clothes.

Breath is the gateway to self-awareness and good health. Conscious breathing techniques are vital for energy and stress relief, yet most of us leave our breathing in auto-pilot mode, missing a vast subtle richness of life. In yoga, breath is often referred to as Prana (life force) and yogic breathing is referred to as Pranayama – one of the eight limbs of yoga. Mindful breathing is an ancient practice AND it is now supported by modern science.
In this 2 hour workshop we will discuss the modern science of breathwork and actively explore the concepts of creating a daily breath practice. We’ll delve into various ancient Pranayama techniques and their purpose to our happiness and well-being. We’ll also explore modern breathing techniques to facilitate mental focus, better exercise performance and improved sleep.
This workshop and the breathing exercises we’ll perform are suitable for anyone interested in improving their health and expanding their mindfulness.
Whether you’re new to yoga, or a long-time yogi - or even if you have zero interest in "yoga" - you’re still breathing every minute of your life. Join us and explore the benefits from more mindful breathing.
Props required: A comfortable seat (pillow, bolster, blanket or chair), pen and paper, water, and Kleenex.
Recommendation: Breathwork is easier on an empty stomach. We recommend having a very light meal at least an hour before the workshop.
