SUMMARY:Becoming the Light Within
DESCRIPTION:Let’s begin the new year together– honoring our highest selves and manifesting a bright future. As 2026 approaches\, we have an opportunity to pause\, breathe\, and find ourselves in this chaotic world. We can turn toward the steady light within us for stability and guidance. This inner light is the teacher of all teachers. It is the spark that ignites the sun\, illuminates the planets\, and powers the core of our bodies. It is the voice that speaks through our conscience\, and the guide that always shows the path back towards wholeness. \nWithin each of us lies the power to soften the grip of suffering. As the great teachings say\, only a clear and self-aware mind can merge with the light of our pure nature and flood the darkness of ignorance. Knowledge—the deep knowing of who we are and all that we’re capable of—is the force that intensifies our inner brilliance. \nBecoming the Light Within — A New Year’s Retreat is an invitation to know our own radiance\, dissolve doubt and fear\, and step into the new year with clarity\, vitality\, and a renewed sense of purpose. Members of HI’s core faculty\, along with honored guest presenters\, are excited to offer this transformational retreat that combines inspiration\, practice\, relaxation\, and community fellowship. \nThroughout\, we’ll engage in yoga\, meditation\, and guided reflections to unblock internal pathways and restore our natural brilliance. Nourishing meals\, comforting teas\, free time for integration\, creative exploration\, and moments of fellowship will sustain and uplift us as we ground ourselves in our truest essence. \nStep into 2026 shining your brightest knowing that the same eternal splendor that lights the sun\, moon\, and stars shines its brightest within you. \nSome highlights of this retreat include:\n\nLighting Our Inner Flame\, an intention-setting session with singing bowls that opens the door to several days of self-exploration;\nBreathing Light: Awakening Pranic Flow\, where prana — our lifeforce — is stirred through subtle practices that help us breathe with intention and stoke our inner fire;\nRadiance in Motion\, an active yoga session that directs prana through postures and controlled movement;\nHarmonic Healing: Sound Bath & Deep Rest a relaxing sound bath with singing bowls and gongs that will attune body\, mind\, and spirit to subtle energy\, healing\, and spaciousness;\nLightness of Being\, an embodied all-levels yoga practice that invites playful movement and joyful presence;\nIgniting Creativity: Intention-Setting Through Art\, a hands-on art making session that blends guided intention work with creative expression;\nAkhanda Japa\, connect our hearts and the power of positive intention with a powerful group meditation leading up to midnight on New Year’s Eve;\nAnd much more…

SUMMARY:Restoring Ojas
DESCRIPTION:What Is Ojas?\nAccording to ayurveda\, ojas (pronounced oh-jus) is the vital sap that gives us vitality\, resilience\, and strong immunity. It also promotes creativity\, mental clarity\, compassion\, and spiritual strength. In our youth\, ojas is plentiful—giving us energy and vibrancy. As we age and begin to feel the effects of stress\, we can become more vulnerable to fatigue\, weakened immunity\, and disease. \nHow Do You Know If Your Ojas Is Low?\nAyurveda says that low ojas can manifest in many ways: low energy\, increased susceptibility to colds and flus\, weak digestion\, poor focus\, increased anxiety\, or just a lack of enthusiasm. Chances are\, we all could use a healthy boost to our ojas! \nHow Do We Rebuild Our Ojas?\nSince much of our ojas is depleted through stress\, the primary way to replenish ojas is through relaxation. Therefore\, this weekend retreat provides an opportunity to unwind through massage and stress-reducing classes focused on simple breathing\, relaxation\, and meditation techniques to calm the body and mind. \nStrong ojas also arises from living a nourishing\, balanced life. This weekend will give you insight into your own experience of life\, and your personal tendencies that either nourish your vitality or drain it. With this knowledge\, you will begin to understand how to increase ojas effectively\, restoring balance and harmony to your whole system. \n3 Day / 2 Night Retreat Includes:\nOver this weekend\, you will learn about the ayurvedic process of building ojas\, restoring your inherent vitality\, and reconnecting to a state of balance and well-being through ojas enhancing treatments and classes that include: \n\n60-Minute Relaxing and Therapeutic Massage: Our experienced massage and bodywork therapists work with you to personalize your massage for maximum comfort and relaxation. Additional treatments or sessions are available throughout the weekend as add-ons.\nEvening Discussions on Ayurvedic Health at Home: Evening discussions are organized to introduce you to foundational ayurvedic concepts\, self-care routines\, and dietary practices designed to increase your self-knowledge.\n90-minute Stress Reducing Practicum: These gentle classes are designed to help you work with gentle\, breath connected movement and relaxation practices to help you restore vitality and release stress in your body and mind.\n\nAdd-Ons:\nDuring the retreat\, ample downtime is built-in for you to schedule additional treatments and relax in your own unique way. Add-on services include: \n\nAdditional massage treatments including ayurvedic Garshana\, Shirodhara and/or steam Jin Shin Jyutsu\, Reiki or Craniosacral therapy\nBiofeedback therapy to assess vagal tone\, heart rate variability and improve relaxation skills\nPersonalized one-on-one yoga sessions to create or refine a home practice\nA consultation with an integrative medicine health professional (physician or nurse practitioner)\n\nThe program begins with an orientation on Friday evening and concludes at lunch on Sunday. \nAmenities Beyond Your Daily Treatment Schedule:\nIn addition to the weekend retreat schedule of lecture\, practicum\, and massage\, you will have access to: \n\nMorning yoga classes\n3 Vegetarian meals daily\nExplorations in self-awareness\nMeditation in the Sri Vidya Shrine\n400 acres of wooded hiking trails and vistas\nThe MarketPlace Bookstore and Giftshop\nUnlimited Wi-Fi\n\nDe-stress and Fortify Retreat\nDownload the Sample Schedule

SUMMARY:Restoring Ojas
DESCRIPTION:What Is Ojas?\nAccording to ayurveda\, ojas (pronounced oh-jus) is the vital sap that gives us vitality\, resilience\, and strong immunity. It also promotes creativity\, mental clarity\, compassion\, and spiritual strength. In our youth\, ojas is plentiful—giving us energy and vibrancy. As we age and begin to feel the effects of stress\, we can become more vulnerable to fatigue\, weakened immunity\, and disease. \nHow Do You Know If Your Ojas Is Low?\nAyurveda says that low ojas can manifest in many ways: low energy\, increased susceptibility to colds and flus\, weak digestion\, poor focus\, increased anxiety\, or just a lack of enthusiasm. Chances are\, we all could use a healthy boost to our ojas! \nHow Do We Rebuild Our Ojas?\nSince much of our ojas is depleted through stress\, the primary way to replenish ojas is through relaxation. Therefore\, this weekend retreat provides an opportunity to unwind through massage and stress-reducing classes focused on simple breathing\, relaxation\, and meditation techniques to calm the body and mind. \nStrong ojas also arises from living a nourishing\, balanced life. This weekend will give you insight into your own experience of life\, and your personal tendencies that either nourish your vitality or drain it. With this knowledge\, you will begin to understand how to increase ojas effectively\, restoring balance and harmony to your whole system. \n3 Day / 2 Night Retreat Includes:\nOver this weekend\, you will learn about the ayurvedic process of building ojas\, restoring your inherent vitality\, and reconnecting to a state of balance and well-being through ojas enhancing treatments and classes that include: \n\n60-Minute Relaxing and Therapeutic Massage: Our experienced massage and bodywork therapists work with you to personalize your massage for maximum comfort and relaxation. Additional treatments or sessions are available throughout the weekend as add-ons.\nEvening Discussions on Ayurvedic Health at Home: Evening discussions are organized to introduce you to foundational ayurvedic concepts\, self-care routines\, and dietary practices designed to increase your self-knowledge.\n90-minute Stress Reducing Practicum: These gentle classes are designed to help you work with gentle\, breath connected movement and relaxation practices to help you restore vitality and release stress in your body and mind.\n\nAdd-Ons:\nDuring the retreat\, ample downtime is built-in for you to schedule additional treatments and relax in your own unique way. Add-on services include: \n\nAdditional massage treatments including ayurvedic Garshana\, Shirodhara and/or steam Jin Shin Jyutsu\, Reiki or Craniosacral therapy\nBiofeedback therapy to assess vagal tone\, heart rate variability and improve relaxation skills\nPersonalized one-on-one yoga sessions to create or refine a home practice\nA consultation with an integrative medicine health professional (physician or nurse practitioner)\n\nThe program begins with an orientation on Friday evening and concludes at lunch on Sunday. \nAmenities Beyond Your Daily Treatment Schedule:\nIn addition to the weekend retreat schedule of lecture\, practicum\, and massage\, you will have access to: \n\nMorning yoga classes\n3 Vegetarian meals daily\nExplorations in self-awareness\nMeditation in the Sri Vidya Shrine\n400 acres of wooded hiking trails and vistas\nThe MarketPlace Bookstore and Giftshop\nUnlimited Wi-Fi\n\nDe-stress and Fortify Retreat\nDownload the Sample Schedule
