Summer Love: Play, Flow and Create

July 6th -11th at Stowel Lake Farms on Salt Spring Island in BC

Yoga Retreat

Join Morgan and Amber Cowie for a unique retreat combining the best of yoga’s feel-good practices with workshops for creativity and flow that brighten all aspects of your life. This summer retreat on the incomparable Salt Spring Island in gorgeous British Columbia will open you up to sun, flow, playfulness and a deep reconnection with the healing embrace of our land.

Each day will include both active and contemplative practices so we can get sweaty and go deep. Movement and meditation practices will be led by Morgan, the creator of Mosaic Yoga in Toronto. Morgan has been practicing for more than twenty years and teaching for fifteen. Her style combines the wisdom of contemplation, healing and intelligent sequencing with straight up sweaty good feels.

Amber Cowie, celebrated novelist whose published novels includes acclaimed Rapid Falls and Last One Alive, will lead afternoon workshops on creativity as a way of life. Unlocking our birthright as creative beings opens up connection, depth and well-being on a deep level and allows us to be who we really are and make our individual mark on the world.

Fall in Love With Your Practice

 

with Morgan Cowie

Bloom Holistic Centre

 

Friday Sept 29th – Sunday, Oct 1st, 2023

There is a simple alchemy which combines a group of caring, curious students on retreat together to practice wholeheartedly – and takes away everything else. No other beings to take care of, no meals to plan and no dishes to wash. The result is magical – transformation not into something new, but something you have always been.

Your practice is like an old friend, a partner, a loved one that is waiting for you to have the time to fall in love all over again. Make the space this fall for nature to show you breathtaking beauty, your spirit to wake up to emerging insight and your body to be nourished with incredible food and vitalizing practice.

As well as offering insightful, creative and deeply rooted yoga movement practices, Morgan Cowie will lead you through contemplative practices in meditation and qi gong and deeply nourishing sweet yummy restorative to help you get the most restful sleeps you can. You will be both challenged and made cozy – all levels of practice are welcome!
