Metamorphosis: A Spring Retreat

led by annie piper and marcus berardino

PREMA NORTH @ THE BARN UPSTATE

EAST CHATHAM, NY

When: Friday May 3rd – Sunday May 5th 2024

Where: East Chatham, NY 

(2 1/2 hours from Brooklyn if driving, Amtrak to Hudson and short Uber/Taxi to East Chatham if taking the train.) 

Metamorphosis is the continuous process of transforming from one version of ourselves to the next, a constant unveiling evident even in nature—caterpillars become butterflies, shale transforms into slate, and a nebula evolves into the sun.

Classical yoga asserts that all matter is Prakriti, ever-changing and subject to cause and effect, while Purusha represents the unchanging and uncaused Universal Principle—the True Self persisting through countless life transformations.

As we embrace the arrival of Spring, gaining wings, finding solid ground, and growing our sun, we acknowledge the inevitability of change. Join us on this retreat to revel in and savor the small metamorphoses that have shaped the essence of who you are.

Yoga, Qigong, Meditation...and of course, delicious food and lotsa laughs are on the agenda.

Retreat begins after 4pm Friday and concludes post Brunch 1pm on Sunday.
