Embracing Life’s Changes Find Your Dharma Through Creativity
- Presenter: Monique Schubert
- Presenter: Laura Dickstein Thompson
OPEN TO YOUR TRUE DESIRES
Connect with your inner self and open up to your true desires in a transformative creative retreat dedicated to exploring new life directions and uncovering your personal dharma path.
Designed for those at a crossroads—whether you're navigating burnout, embracing retirement, adjusting to an empty nest, or processing changes in relationships and grief—this retreat blends yoga, mindfulness, and expressive art activities such as writing, painting, and collaging. Together in community, we will engage in meaningful discussions and exercises centered around the question: "What comes next after you've achieved your goals or done everything you think you can?"
Guided by our expert Kripalu faculty, you will also explore the four aims, purusharthas, of Hinduism:
- Dharma: duty, righteousness, and moral values
- Artha: prosperity and economic values
- Kama: pleasure, love, and psychological well-being
- Moksha: liberation, spiritual growth, and self-realization
Join us as we embark on a journey of self-discovery, creativity, and rejuvenation. Return home with renewed energy, optimism, and a clearer vision for the next chapter of your life.
