​Radiant Summer: 


A Spacial Yin Half-Day Retreat


with Hunter Toran and Georgiann Kristek


Saturday, July 14, 2018 (rain date Sunday, July 15)

"The three months of summer denote prosperity and abundance. Heaven  and earth exchange their influences; the ten thousand things appear in all their splendor and ripeness. People go to bed at night and rise early.... They strive for consummate radiance...." ~ The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine 

Radiant Summer: A Spacial Yin Half-Day Retreat
with Hunter Toran and Georgiann Kristek
Saturday, July 14, 2018 (rain date Sunday, July 15)
2-7 pm and beyond....
$75
Preregistration and prepayment required by July 11. Contact Georgiann to preregister.

In Chinese Five Element Theory, summer is the season of Fire, a phase of peak power and manifestation. Associated with the Heart (Yin) and Small Intestine (Yang) meridians, this is the season of joy, connection, and abundance. Many of us love the upward and outward energy of summer, yet we can become depleted or scattered from constant activity and over-involvement. 

Please join Hunter Toran and me for a special half-day summer retreat in a beautiful outdoor setting. Through gentle, grounding Spacial Dynamics® movement exercises, meditation, and Yin Yoga with hands-on movement promptings from Hunter*, we will help temper excess Fire while nourishing the radiant warmth of the season. After practice we will share community and a light summer meal. 

This event is taking place in Easthampton, MA, just a short drive from Northampton. Full address and directions will be provided upon preregistration. Please bring your own mat, blanket(s) or large towel(s), and any other props you may want for Yin. 

*Hands-on promptings are not a traditional element of Yin Yoga. You are welcome to decline the hands-on and simply enjoy the Yin Yoga.
