One Day Retreat: The Light of Our True Nature
2023-08-05 09:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Church of the Ascension, 800 S. Northshore Drive, Knoxville, TN, 37919, United States
Come for a day to connect with the Light within your soul, settle your nervous system, and enjoy a deep sense of peace with fellow seekers. Many of us cannot make a week-long pilgrimage and yet need sustained time to reset our minds, bodies and spirits. Even one day of continuous spiritual practice can offer a tremendous support to our wellbeing. As we settle our bodies and hearts through spiritual practice, we’ll gain the opportunity to engage The Light that shines within our souls.
The day will combine breathing exercises, meditations, Feldenkrais practices, and dialogue.
Caroline Vogel and Brenda Rasch will lead this day long retreat. Caroline is the Director of Spiritus Knox and Brenda is a local holistic physical therapist. In addition to her practice as a physical therapist, Brenda is a gifted practitioner of Healing Touch and Feldenkrais. She leads Feldenkrais and Embodied Life Retreats at The Wellbeing Retreat Center in Tazewell, Tennessee. You can learn more about Brenda at her website: www.brendaraschpt.com and meet Caroline here: https://www.spiritusknox.com/about-spiritus-knox-1
Cost for the day retreat is $125 and includes lunch. Space allows for 20 participants. All are welcome. No prior experience of meditation or Feldenkrais required.
Please wear comfortable clothes for movement and bring a yoga mat with additional quilt/blanket (Feldenkrais takes up more space than yoga) or Feldenkrais mat. You may also want to bring a water bottle, blanket and journal.

2023-10-22 17:00 - 18:30 | Church of the Ascension, 800 S. Northshore Drive, Knoxville, TN, 37919, United States
