Lotus Heart Retreat Centre, Brighton ON (less than an hour from Peterborough, accessible to Ottawa, Kingston, Toronto)

Date and Time: Friday, September 13 – Sunday, September 15 (Check in 4pm or after on Friday, Check out 2pm Sunday)

Join us on the September Full Moon, for a weekend immersion in the heart of practice. Located at the beautiful and tranquil Lotus Heart Retreat Centre in the Brighton. This retreat is for those with all levels of experience with yoga.

Throughout the weekend, Tiina Kivinen and Fraser Mcdonald will hold space together, creating a retreat container for wisdom and connection to emerge from your own inner experience. Within this container of sacred space and intention, you will experience a variety of practices, including Yoga, Meditation, Thai Chi, Pranayama (breathwork), Yoga Nida (yogic sleep meditation), Japa and live music kirtan (chanting). We are excited to welcome guest musicians for Kirtan as well!
Our intention for this retreat is to foster a space to deepen current practices, cultivate new practices for inspiration, or simply rest within the space of being and see what emerges. Connecting into the heart of our practice, we have potential to bring a felt sense of the infinite, into our bodies, minds and hearts. Together as a community, we create space for wisdom, clarity, and spirit to arise from within. Community forms as we connect and create, self care deepens with a focus on compassion and curious contemplation, and the heart brightens with music, chanting, movement, and expression.

The weekend will include:

  • 2 nights stay in a lovely retreat centre, private and shared accommodation
  • Delicious and nourishing vegetarian meals
  • Inspired Yoga and meditation classes and workshops for deepening your practice, with Fraser Mcdonald, Tiina Kivinen and guest musicians
  • Spacious time to just be
