Heart & Spirit Renewal at Bethel Farms Yoga & Living Arts Center
Bethel Farm Yoga, Hillsborough, NH
Heart & Spirit Renewal Retreat
August 22 - 24th
Arrive Friday: 10am Depart Sunday: 2pm
Imagine it’s Friday, August 22nd and you are driving up to Bethel Farm’s Art & Yoga Sanctuary, the air is sweet, the forests are thick with evergreen trees and plants in full bloom. You are two minutes from the barn when you realize there's a wildly epic and refreshing waterfall at the foot of the hill, the air around you is buzzing with the magic of nature (and literal butterflies), and you are finally about to indulge in a weekend that is 100% for you. Your heart dances with delight!
All responsibilities are left for another day as you have chosen to give yourself the gift of 3 full days to nourish your heart and connect to your Soul so you can return home feeling refreshed, renewed, and in total bliss.
This is what you can expect at Bethel Farm.
On the day you arrive, the Sun (our star of vitality and personal power) will shift into Virgo, and the focus will turn towards Self-Care, the practices that fill your cup, keep your energy flowing, and revitalize your tired bones. Once you settle into your space and meet new friends, it will be time to gather, ceremoniously sip cacao and set intentions for the upcoming weekend. You will learn all about how the archetypal Virgo energy can be best harnessed for absolute mind, body, soul magic and deeply grounded alignment.
The day will conclude with a delectable farm to table organic home cooked meal, made by chef Tracy, followed by an unwinding and deeply healing crystal sound bath played by Shira.
And that is just day 1! Saturday, the 23rd gifts us with a powerful Virgo New Moon. This gives us a clean slate, a brand new beginning, and fresh start for the next 28 day cycle (as well as 6 month cycle). Saturday will begin with a grounding meditation, followed by a Kundalini yoga practice for the new moon, and a gorgeous farm to table breakfast. You will have plenty of free time to roam around the farm, hike the trails, and swim in the pond or in the waterfalls before lunch. In the late afternoon, we will gather again for a body centered, somatic moment practice. This practice will integrate your new moon intentions and will be an amazing way to release any chronic stress hanging out in your muscles, restore your central nervous system, and tap into the power of play.
After a special new moon dinner, a pre-bedtime sound bath and mantra practice will send you off into a blissful sleep.
Btw, don’t be surprised if a tarot circle, dance party, or additional cacao ceremony gets added to the agenda, I have a thing for music, archetypes and chocolate.
Sunday morning will seal our journey with a final closing ceremony and movement practice, so you can take all the magic that was conjured and float your way back home! Our weekend of bliss will conclude with an extra special Sunday Brunch and tons of hugs *happy tears* before stepping into this brand new chapter and season of our lives.
The vibes will be inclusive, the people will be inspiring, the spiritual practices will be just what you need. We will swim and dance, romp through the babbling brooks and springs, bathe in the warm sun’s rays, eat organic farm to table nourishing meals, chat fireside, and dance our heart’s out.

A bit about Shira!
1.000 Hours RYT. Trauma Informed Kundalini, Vinyasa, & Astrology Embodiment Coach. From the music that orchestrates the movement, to the postures that align with the moon, sun, and stars, to the season and time of day, it is all connected and intertwined to be a catalyst for body, mind, and energy healing.
Yoga (in its MANY hidden forms) is just another form of dance, where you move to the rhythm of your breath and tap into the medicine of your essence. I believe yoga is one of the greatest healing resources we have and a consistent practice has saved me during the darkest of days. Come in with an open mind and a willingness to meet yourself where you are at.
