Guided Food Journeys ~ Talks on Ecology
White Lotus Foundation
Santa Barbara, CA
May 4-6, 2012
Join Christy Brown, Joslyn Hamilton, and Helge Hellberg for an auspicious full moon weekend at White Lotus Foundation, located on 40 acres overlooking Santa Barbara, the Pacific Ocean, and the Channel Islands. This sacred land was once occupied by the Chumash Indians, who called it Taklushmon (The Gathering Place).
During this mostly silent gathering, we'll go gently inward with yoga, meditation and pranayama sessions led by Christy. Through inspiration and guidance, Joslyn will encourage us to deepen our relationship to pen and paper, while Helge will take us on journeys through the world of food, ecology and interconnectedness. Silent, panoramic, ocean-vista hikes and delicious, healthy meals will be an integral part of this weekend of self-awareness and introspection. And there will be plenty of time for enjoying the hot tub and beautiful sauna bathhouse, situated on the edge of the canyon with magnificent views of Santa Barbara and the Pacific.
You don't have to be a writer to appreciate personal growth through journaling, and you don't have to be an accomplished yogi to benefit from inner balance through breath and movement. We'll use yoga to gently open our bodies and reflective writing to open our minds and hearts... and moonlit nights in beautiful Santa Barbara to nourish our souls.
