restorative Day Retreat Monday, DEcember 30
Join Lisa Willett for a winter’s day retreat in the cozy lookout of Glen Ellen Gathering Space in the heart of the Valley of the Moon. During the winter months we tuck ourselves in and tap into our dream space to visualize what we want to bring into fruition. Just like our dormant gardens in winter, it might seem like nothing is happening but the quiet work of deep rest creates powerful benefit beneath the surface of our lives.
We will begin with an opening circle with Ora ceremonial cacao to awaken our senses. Next, Lisa will lead a 90-minute Yin yoga sequence designed to create a feeling of spaciousness in the body and mind. After yoga, our friends at Yeti Restaurant will prepare us a nourishing vegetarian lunch.
Depending on the weather, we will either take time to explore and enjoy the historic Jack London Village and the gorgeous natural surroundings or spend time in the Gathering Space for spiritual play time with art, music and community connection. The afternoon session will bring us deeper into the internal landscape with a combination of guided visualization, yoga nidra and traditional meditation practice.
To finish, we will take time to write down any clear intentions or ideas that may surface during our time tucked in. $160 per person, including lunch & special gift.
About glen ellen gathering
Our Story
Welcome to Glen Ellen Gathering, a serene sanctuary nestled in the heart of the Valley of the Moon in Glen Ellen, California. Our sacred event space is beautifully situated alongside the tranquil water of Sonoma Creek, offering a peaceful retreat surrounded by the natural beauty of oak woodlands. We are steps away from some of Sonoma County’s most stunning open space and perched above three delicious restaurants, wine tasting and specialty shops in the historic Jack London Village, a beautifully restored 156-year-old mill facility and buildings.
With a deep commitment to creating space for meaningful experiences, Glen Ellen Gathering provides individuals and groups the opportunity to foster connection through yoga, meditation, transformative workshops, sound healing, kirtan, and art. Our idyllic location is the perfect place to attend and host mindful events, equipped with gorgeous, high quality, sustainably minded props for many types of events. We also have a growing selection of musical house instruments that we love to share.
Glen Ellen Gathering is led by Lisa and Ray Willett. Lisa has been teaching traditional Raja Yoga and meditation in Sonoma Valley for 18 years. She owned a yoga studio and school called Yoga Community in Sonoma for 13 years, and founded Community Supply in Sonoma. Ray is a licensed architect and principal of his firm, TBE Architecture, which is also housed in the stunning space.
