Renowned author and workshop leader Jeffrey Davis introduces retreatants to his Yoga As Muse principles. In The Journey From The Center To The Page, participants will experience for themselves how simple yoga sequences, breath work, and meditation can focus their attention and intention, awaken their imagination and intuition for creative writing, and reverse negative mental patterns that debilitate creativity. Each day includes Yoga As Muse creative writing experiences, sessions to discuss participants' writings and questions in a supportive atmosphere, delicious meals, and opportunities for writers to take advantage of Kripalu Center's additional free classes in yoga, meditation, and more. Expansive bucolic acreage also affords space for the soul to saunter.
