The Elder Years Retreat- Menopause and Beyond
As we enter into the later years of our lives, we bring with us the knowledge and wisdom we have gained through our walk along the earth. In ancient times, as elders in our communities we were honored for our insight and cared for as we cared for others. Imbalance in this aspect of our life cycle is tied intimately to our belief systems, improper lifestyle, and a disconnection from the rhythms of nature. This week-end workshop emphasizes simple and effective tools for decreasing discomfort during our elder years. Drawing from the wisdom of Naturopathic and Ayurvedic Medicine, participants will be given useful and practical remedies, including yoga practices, to create harmony in our elder years.
This class is appropriate for women in perimenopause, menopause and any woman looking to prevent disharmony in her elder years.
