Join Lila & Natalie at the Doghouse this May for a special Beltane weekend retreat. Beltane is an ancient Celtic fertility festival, a time to celebrate the awakening of the summer season through earth honouring practices and joyful embodiment. Weaving together the teachings of Evolutionary Astrology, earth based wisdom, and yoga we will explore a variety of practices over the weekend. Morning sessions will be focused around inspirational and dynamic yoga asana practices co-led by Natalie & Lila, while the afternoons will be given to specialty workshops. 

On Saturday afternoon Lila will take us through an exploration of the archetypal energies of the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, her Western counterpoint Venus and the zodiac sign of Taurus, whose season holds Beltane. Lila will support us in contemplating what it means to embody these energies fully, ending with a special Lakshmi sadhana so that we may welcome her bounty on every level of being. 

On Sunday afternoon Natalie will lead a Beltane medicine-making workshop. We will learn about the flowers and herbs that are sacred to this time and together we will make a flower and gem essence along with an aphrodisiac blend to support sacred sensuality. No previous herbal knowledge needed. 

*Asana sessions will be Intermediate/Advanced, but modifications will be given to suit all levels. Please bring a notebook to all sessions.

**This workshop is sold out. If you’d like to be added to the wait list, please contact the Dog House at thedoghouseyoga@gmail.com!
