In the deep fall
don’t you imagine the leaves think how
comfortable it will be to touch
the earth instead of the
nothingness of air and the endless
freshets of wind?

Ah the return of the magical season of Autumn, and the return of Yogaway one-day retreats! It has been too long since we have gathered for a un-rushed day that is both convenient and full to the brim with nourishment of body, mind and soul. A beautiful reset nestled into one of the most gorgeous times of year here in New England.
This retreat will be held at the Powisset Lodge within the Hale Education property in Westwood, MA. Hale is a wonderful organization with a gorgeous, sprawling forested location. We have hosted here before and it will be great to return. The beautiful yoga space has lofted ceilings and a large wood-burning fireplace to lend a peaceful and cozy atmosphere to our practice. Outdoors you will find a lovely clearing in which to enjoy our catered lunch (weather permitting), as well as trails to wander during our midday break.
Our Nourish retreat will run from 10:30 am to 4:00 pm on Saturday, October 17, 2026. This experience is open to those with all levels of yoga experience, including beginners. The day will begin with a warm welcome, followed by a 90-minute class led by Checka Antifonario that will include about an hour of uplifting and energizing flow yoga followed by a guided meditation and long Savasana.
Next up will share a delicious omnivore lunch prepared by Jessy's Place, a delicious cafe and catering service in Lawrence, MA. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated. The menu they have planned is nourishing, satisfying, and a delight for the taste buds.
After lunch and perhaps a stroll around property, we will reconvene for a super simple but delightful craft (another thing we haven't done together in too long!). To close the day, you will be invited to melt into a super relaxing extended restorative yoga session infused with Reiki and closing with 15-20 minutes of light sound healing.
This is a day of belonging, love and slowing down enough to savor the gifts of the season. Come as you are and be in community. Step into the weeks ahead full of knowing that you deserve to balance all of your output with steady self-care too. Hope to see you in October!
