Move freely. Breathe deeply. Play often. Because presence doesn't have to be so serious. Return to the wisdom of your body and the joy of being you!
This full day retreat at Lotus Pond is open to all levels! No pre-requisites (except a willingness to laugh, be silly, and have fun!)
Step into "beginner's mind" in the Pause & Play Movement Retreat, a day of movement, mindfulness, and joyful curiosity.
