Spirit of Zen ~ Meditation & Yoga Retreat
with Melissa Berry Appleton & Suniti Dernovsek
September 12-17th, 2023
Stowel Lake Farm, Salt Spring Island
Join Melissa and Suniti this September for our annual retreat on Salt Spring Island. Stowel Lake Farm is a thriving organic farm, retreat center, and community, located on 100 acres of mixed forests, fields, rocky outcrops and rolling hills. The food, the facilities and the land are an exceptional venue to meet all the right elements of retreat.
This retreat is in the spirit of Zen, Buddhism, and tending to the body with love. It will be about the simple treasures of practice. Beautifully bare bones. Our time together will be a blend of traditional yoga practice, silence, stillness, connection, breath, sound, the ground and deep rest. Together we are gently resurrecting bodies of goodness.
Suniti and Melissa met leading a Zen retreat in the Canadian alpine with Michael Stone. Endless giggles, creativity and liberating conversations keep them coming back together. Suniti and Melissa share curiosities about relationships, marriage, intimacy, motherhood, aging, work, community life and broadening perspectives in tender ways.
