Rise Up, Rooted
Spring Weekend Retreat with Barrie Risman
Friday thru Sunday, May 2-4, 2025
Retreats at my home studio are joyful and nourishing occasions of authentic connection, deep rejuvenation, and sacred practices.
Our spacious and balanced schedule includes asana practice, breathwork, meditation, contemplative inquiry, honest conversation, applied yoga philosophy, and enriching group work based on Joanna Macy's Work That Reconnects.
With so many of us feeling the intensity of these uncertain and turbulent times, along with the resounding call to step forward into purposeful and benevolent action, this retreat is a precious occasion to fortify your inner reserves, find solidarity in community, and rekindle your highest intentions.
You’ll emerged feeling recharged, replenished, and fully resourced to meet life with clarity and purpose.
