Embodying and Dwelling in your Light Overnight Retreat

Program Details

Calling all Bright Lights - Join us for a journey embodying and dwelling in who you truly are, a being of light. Through the time-honored practices of meditation, reiki, yoga, spiritual reflection and sacred geometry, we will explore embodying and dwelling in the light that we are.

We can think about our light body as our original state of being. As we learn and grow in our western world, we are taught to rely most heavily on our cognitive abilities and cultivate our strengths in the realm of our mind, even in our spiritual practices. When we learn how to embody our light and dwell within it, we find the expansive space that lies waiting for us to explore.

Join us Saturday, November 21 into Sunday, November 22 for an onsite retreat at Rolling Ridge with Judy Bousquin and Sandra LaPerche.

This retreat will offer opportunities for contemplation and meditation, gentle movement and stillness, conversation and silence, creative activities and hands-on practices. We all learn differently - there are many pathways to acknowledge and honor the light we inhabit. The intention of this retreat is to approach our learning in various ways providing access points to life and living in a consciousness of light.

No prior experience is necessary with reiki, meditation or yoga to participate in this

retreat.

We request each participant bring along a notebook/journal to write or draw your

experiences as they move through this retreat experience. Also bring along your mat,

a light blanket, comfortable clothes. Optional: eye covering, bolster or pillow(s) for

comfort and support. Appropriate clothing, weather permitting, for outside activities

(walking meditation and/or labyrinth).

About the Leaders

Judy Bousquin

Judy Bousquin, a life-long learner and seeker, teaches the spiritual practices of Reiki, yoga and meditation individually and in groups. The benefits of personally finding internal calm, equilibrium and the knowing of our deep interconnection with all things, inspired Judy to share these time-honored traditions through her private practice, Healing and Renewal, and through Yoga Moves yoga studio, both in Stoneham, MA. Through her offerings of classes, workshops and mentoring, Judy nurtures students to discover their inner essence and wisdom. Judy’s philosophy is that life as a spiritual journey is where we both acknowledge and honor the light within us and also embrace our humanness with its many layers of complexity.
