Monday Love to your Source of Simplicity

 


“ Living simply makes loving simple.”

 ~ bell hooks

Well, it must be something about the bright rays of sunshine and the lengthening days that light a fire under folks to tackle cleanup projects big and small. Entropy and inertia are fundamentally related, it’s one of those pesky laws of nature that makes it so that when you set something down somewhere it stubbornly stays there until something comes along to move it.

Relax Into Being: The Costa Rica Retreat

 


February 5, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - February 13, 2022 @ 6:00 am CST

A tropical retreat led by Zuza & Scott Engler: a week of wonder at the meeting point of jungle and sea at Blue Spirit Costa Rica.
With movement sessions offered daily on a spacious schedule – to dance wildly and luxuriate in micro-movements, to listen inside and express what moves us – we will create together a safe space for relaxation, connection, and ease.
We will move and be moved, speak from the heart, laugh from the belly, and – last not least – take frequent naps.
