Summer Solstice Retreat June 19 - 23!
Join world traveler and adventure guide, Kate LaCroix, myself, and Global Dance Teacher, Lucia Cordeiro for a life-enhancing experience this summer in the breathtaking Adirondack Mountains of New York (Keene/Lake Placid/Keene Valley) June 19-23! Enliven and transform your body, mind and spirit as you spend 5 days / 4 nights immersing yourself into the pristine nature of the Adirondack Mountain Reserve in upstate New York, and its community, during one of the most powerful times of year – the Summer Solstice.
Each day, we will travel deep into the ELEMENTAL - Earth, Water, Fire, Air - NATURE of our Inner Self to awaken peace and well-being as we guide you through complimentary activities...
Our daily itinerary will consist of:
-morning yoga
-eco-adventure (hiking, kayaking, horseback riding, and more!)
-dance experience
In addition, we will have special activities – including the opportunity to volunteer a couple hours of our time to become deeply involved with the local mountain community and assist them with an Adirondack Nature Conservancy project!
We will be staying in an original stagecoach stopover – a mountain-surrounded property with a 150-yr-old Farmhouse, a carriage house and log cottages - in Keene, NY, home of the Adirondack’s High Peaks. The location is exceptional – as we are encompassed by nature and we are a beautiful 15-minute drive from Lake Placid, home of the 1932 & 1980 Winter Olympics.
