DAY of RESTORATION

When: Friday, September 12, 2025
Where: Adam’s Berry Farm with Heidi Kvasnak & Lynn Alpeter

Join us for our fourth annual yoga retreat at Adam’s Berry Farm in Charlotte, VT overlooking fields of berries, sunflowers and the majestic Adirondack Mountains. 

Scheduled during the seasonal shift of Autumn, with its new rhythms, we take this opportunity to restore, reset and reimagine the way forward.  A time to make space for you: to tune in to yourself, to be lifted by the practices of yoga, the beauty of nature, and the wisdom of other women.

Show up exactly as you are and receive this specially curated experience, designed just for YOU!

This retreat will focus on the ways in which the body, breath and mind communicate with each other and with us.  We will explore the practices of yoga that support us in becoming aware of how we connect and disconnect from ourselves, and what we can do to return to a state of ease both during this retreat, AND back home at home.

Give yourself the gift of this meaningful day - while supporting the important work of the Howard Center.   In partnership with Adam's Berry Farm, all proceeds from this event will benefit the Howard Center.

What a few of our past participants shared:

“It was the perfect balance of asana, philosophy, connection with others and relaxation.”

“This day exceeded my expectations.”

“My favorite part was having the relaxing space for connections to myself, nature and what’s most important.”
