Autumn is a masterful teacher, reminding us that change is the only constant. Join Emily Balawejder aboard Riverlife’s Shore Thing for a special autumn mini-retreat that honors the season’s wisdom as we close a summer of yoga floating aboard this beautiful platform. Every action can hold meaning if we allow it. Ceremony and ritual help us mark the passage of time and embrace the next steps ahead. In this riverside gathering, we’ll pause, reflect, and reconnect with ourselves through ritual, movement, and meditation.
