Relax at the tranquil Kripalu Center while you explore what can happen to your authentic voice when yoga awakens your ears to the self within and the selves without. In this retreat, you will experience specific ways to integrate yoga's tools into a creative writing process that helps you uncover an authentic voice. Each morning-time Yoga As Muse session will guide you through an expanding ring of writer's compassion. In the afternoon, we will explore the heart & soul of craft in three genres and also participate in optional sharing sessions in a safe atmosphere. Come away with renewed confidence & versatility, numerous tools, and follow-up support for a fulfilling journey home. At Kripalu, you can take advantage of additional free classes in yoga, meditation, and more. Expansive bucolic acreage also affords space for the soul to saunter. Trained masseuses are ready to pamper you.
