Labor Day King’s Canyon Retreat 2022

April 16, 2022March 19, 2023Anne Nowell

Happy Spring to All, be that Easter, Passover, or Ramadan! It seems viral awareness is here to stay, even as everyone celebrates the return to a more “normal” life without masking and lockdowns. With our schools back to a regular schedule, I would hope many families will be planning summer holidays and vacations.

As you see in this post, my friend El Larson and I will be repeating our Yoga and Sound Retreat in King’s Canyon National Park. Last year we had a truly fun event amid the more strict Covid protocols (see the blog post for August 2021). The Retreat facility, Camp Far Horizons, is a beautiful and special place, albeit quite rustic. For hardy yoga friends our Retreat is an exceptional occasion to explore the National Parks of King’s Canyon and Sequoia, with Yoga and Sound Immersion as daily practices. We have chosen the Labor Day holiday as an end of summer opportunity to get away. Please join us if at all possible. I am always happy to hear from each and everyone!

Many Blessings

Namaste

Inner Yoga & Sound Immersion 2021

August 19, 2021March 19, 2023Anne Nowell

This Retreat in Kings Canyon National Park in early August was a truly extraordinary event! Putting together a workshop of this type within the lingering shadow of the Covid pandemic was a bit like diving off a high cliff into deep water with no life vest. The Universal Divine smiled on us in everyway, for this I am beyond grateful.

Far Horizon’s Retreat Camp is situated in a fantastically beautiful section of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The photos give an impression, but to be there is magical. Our group was an intimate gathering of hardy beautiful “peeps” who blossomed like the mystical lotus lily over the 4 days we shared. The staff of Far Horizons was top notch, the accommodations (despite the spiders and mice!) were rustic camp comfortable, and the vegetarian/vegan kitchen was fantastic. We shared inspired asana classes, philosophy discussions, and amazing Sound Bath Meditations; interwoven with hiking and sightseeing adventures. Thanks to all of you who made this happy event possible! AND El and I have been asked to return in summer of 2022!! Mark those calendars.

Wishing you all a safe journey into the remainder of this year, thinking ahead to 2022, please keep the faith that the Universe is providing what we All need in response to the energies we are All creating, aka “What goes around comes around”. Choosing Light and Love ☮🕉✝☸✡☯💜

Stehekin, Washington

August 22, 2014August 4, 2017Anne Nowell

August of 2014 finds me in the North Cascades National Park in central Washington State. Having never visited the Pacific Northwest, I was excited to spend the summer on Lake Chelan, 180 miles east of Seattle and 85 miles from Canada. The village of Stehekin is 50 miles by boat from the nearest town. There is no wireless service and telephones are by satellite. Not conducive to blog posting!

Here are a few shots of Stehekin, breathtakingly beautiful! However, full coverage will need to come at a later date when access to the internet is more dependable.

Best Wishes for many beautiful days to round out your summer. Life is to be lived!
