Or participate in the signature R&R retreat than can be tailored to your needs. In addition to your retreat activities, spend time exploring trails and nature walks, trying pottery classes, walking through the labyrinth, practicing yoga and meditation, and learning the art of Kirtan (Yoga Chanting).
