Work toward emptiness and openness. Cultivate stillness. Breathe harmony. Become tranquility. As ten thousand things rise and fall, rise and fall, just witness their return to the root.

~ The Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu

Inspiring Personal Growth and Unity with Nature

Updates at Milagro Retreats

Greetings from our farm in the Cowichan Valley where we are preparing for our largest Yoga and Surf gathering of the summer. This weekend we will commune with over 30 women.... Sharing the bounty from our gardens, the power of Mother Ocean and the Bliss of Yoga with Trina MacDonald.

Our Winter Retreat schedule is posted and we are excited about the offerings ahead. The new Eco-Friendly Retreat Center, Prana del Mar is home to our first Full Moon Yoga Retreat in November with Dorothy Price.

New Year's Eve is a Blue Moon (second full moon in the same calendar month) and we will be keeping the festive community vibes alive with our 3rd annual Yoga and Surf Retreat with JP Tamblyn.

The New Moon in Leo

The New Moon in Leo today is all about discovering your internal artist and finding the right modality for expression.

Leo’s most evolved form is the inspirational, full-hearted teacher/leader. Leo carries an inner vision sourced in a deep desire to powerfully express personal creativity. More than any other sign, Leo rules creative actualization of the self.

Leo also loves romance, this is the New Moon to create a powerful ritual to invoke and invite romance into your life!!!

It's not too late to plant greens for your autumn eating pleasures. This is the right time to plant cold hearty greens including mustard, kale and spinach.
