Memorial Weekend at Heartland with Summer Quashie

Message from Summer Quashie: 
Heartland is transitioning to a livable farm and retreats there are becoming more rare.  I just returned from upstate, where spring is about two weeks behind the city, so Memorial Day at this beautiful farm house, with music by Seth Lieberman, delicious vegetarian meals and time in nature with yoga and kind hearts, is not an opportunity to miss. Registration happens online at www.iheartheartland.com. Only a few spaces left in the house. Hope you can make it.  Love, Summer

Memorial Day Weekend Retreat

An explosion of love with friends and family (whether you’ve met them yet or not).
  
The practice of seeing is the opening to love.  Through sitting with nature, investigating our asana, drawing what is in front of us, this retreat will create space for honesty and perspective.  

Seth Lieberman will lead daily kirtan and offer live music during asana classes.

Welcome to YOUR BLOG

Dearest Greenhouse Community,

This is your blog. This is a place to hear news about what's happening at your friendly neighborhood studio, Greenhouse Holistic, and a place to share information about yoga, healing and life. It is only going to be as dynamic and rich as the quality of your participation.

Here you'll find out more about your teachers and healing staff, get the scoop on workshops, teacher trainings and retreats, and you'll get to connect with other members of the community who will be sharing their inspirations and findings on the subject of "here and now." This is a place to submit articles, essays, workshop pictures and reviews, questions to teachers, personal artistic offerings, and even an ad for a new like-minded roommate.

Please send submissions and ideas to blog curator/substitute teacher/fellow community member Rebecca Eisner at rebecca@greenhouseholistic.com. Thank you in advance for your participation!
