I am excited to be camping at The Omega Institute next week for 5 days.
I will be doing what they call an R&R retreat which basically means I make my own retreat. I can attend daily open classes in yoga, meditation, tai chi and movement. I can also swim in the lake, use the sauna, library and sanctuary and explore the 195 acre grounds in rural upstate New York.
Not many of the free classes appeal to me so I've decided to create my own "Artist's Retreat".
I will draw myself a schedule (that leaves lots of room for swimming, hiking etc).
I have come up with a few things so far and I would love to add some more!
Who among my readers has ideas or themes for me?
Please don't be shy! Leave anything and everything that comes to your mind in the comments section! ☺
