Winter Wellness Mini-Retreat
What if you could mindfully glide into the winter holiday season instead of stumbling through the inevitable chaos, finding yourself thoroughly exhausted by the new year? The good news is you have a choice: holiday chaos or heavenly peace. If you choose peace over chaos, join Barb Germershausen for an afternoon of gentle yoga, breathing practices, meditation and yoga nidre (aka Yogic “sleep” or deep rest). No prior yoga experience necessary. Retreat fee is $110. Vegetarian lunch provided.
Instructor Barb Germershausen has been teaching yoga since 1984. Her goal as a yoga teacher is to help you feel into your body, to understand you are experiencing the practice in your own unique way, with no preconceived notions or expectations for how a pose should feel. Yoga is not all about the body. It is the union of body, mind, and spirit.

Aligning Five Levels of Soul
During this week of deep exploration, you will be guided in a sacred movement journey, through Four Worlds and Five Levels of Soul. The Jewish mystical tradition teaches that our souls descend from Source to be clothed in our bodies. Together we will explore these Five Soul Levels, each of which carry a unique gift and experience.
Through guided and exploratory movement, supported by music and creative process, Authentic Movement, embodied prayer and text study, we awaken body heart and soul. By discovering what enlivens and nourishes each Soul Level, a pathway opens to living in clear alignment with your Authentic self and direct experience of your soul’s purpose.
This experience naturally heals us, as the sparks of our souls that are undeveloped, shattered or disconnected, reconnect more fully and form a stronger light vessel. We feel ourselves lighter, more whole and alive, more integrated, and aware of our vital connection with the Divine embodied in us. Our week together will culminate with a joyful Shabbat celebration.
Join us as we gather and are nourished in a sacred rural setting, remembering the sparks of our Souls, bringing ourselves – and perhaps other worlds – back to balance.
No movement or Kabbalah experience is needed.
Come grow the roots of your spiritual aliveness, watered by the wellsprings of your body’s wisdom.

Awen: Inspiration from the Ancient Irish Ancestors
In the Celtic tradition, Awen refers to inspiration or divine spark. This weekend retreat aligns with the Celtic Holiday of Samhain (pronounced “sow-wen”), which became popularized as Halloween. In Ireland, wood is gathered, and fires lit to mark the end of harvest and the approach of winter. A time when the veils between the Otherworld is thin, we take a few days to honor our forebears, and offer their stories of wisdom and hope to the next generation.
This retreat will be the perfect moment to turn within and give thanks to the ancestors that brought us life, to forgive any lingering issues, and to connect with our ancient ancestors who can give us renewed strength and courage. This retreat will involve Storytelling from the Irish & British traditions. We will also explore the Divine Feminine in Celtic Spirituality, particularly the many faces of St. Brigit/Bride/Brighid and the Cailleach. We will use meditation, self-inquiry and visualization techniques for personal reflection in a framework based on the open embrace of Celtic Spirituality. All are welcome.
The Awen Retreat is designed and led by Ayn Cates Sullivan, who attended Hollins University and then went on to earn a MFA in Creative Writing from Columbia University, a Masters in Spiritual Psychology (USM), as well as a doctorate degree in Anglo-Irish Literature from King’s College London. She combined these degrees to create her “Awen” workshops, which help people develop poetic, creative, intuitive and mystical skillsets. Ayn Cates Sullivan makes an annual pilgrimage to Britain, where she often meets with her mentor, author Caitlin Matthews. Dr. Sullivan has written twenty-four books and has won over sixty literary awards.
Meals and overnight accommodations are available at the retreat. The fees are $333 for residents of the retreat, and $222 for non-residents. The overnight rooms are full, but day reatanTo register or for more information, please contact Debbie@mountainlightretreatva.com by October 17.

“We must feel that we are supported by that same process that brought the Earth into being, that power that spun the galaxies into space, that lit the sun and brought the moon into its orbit. […] Those same forces are still present; indeed, we might feel their impact at this time and understand that we are not isolated in the chill of space with the burden of the future upon us and without the aid of any other power.”
-- Thomas Berry, “The Dynamics of the Future,” in The Great Work, 174
