A goddess of earth + sky

Have you met Amber Monson? She’s an elite aerialist, who happens to be a personal friend of mine, a Pilates instructor and yoga teacher with a passion for adventure. Amber knows that movement is a gateway to deeper connection with ourselves, so I’m happy she’ll be returning to Amorgos, Greece, May 9 - 16 to lead the “sky” portion of our Earth + Sky retreat. Meanwhile, I’ll anchor our days with grounded yoga, mythology and meditation appropriate for both beginners and experienced practitioners, women and men. All are welcome. 

Why fly? We know growth doesn’t happen in our comfort zone. Amber will help us get our feet off the ground and become swept up in new possibilities in the safest and most professional way. Using the silks as a prop, we’ll address stability, joint mobility, core strength, stretching without strain, and best of all, we’ll build a light-hearted mood by releasing endorphins for soaring mental health.  

Do you need more reasons to travel to paradise with us?  “You’ll find a different version of yourself, see the world with new eyes, and live alternate possibilities,” says Amber. “The gifts of travel, much like the gifts of mindfulness, can’t be bought or conjured or directed, because these are all things the ego does.The gifts of true insight require a release of the ego and the known, baring it all, and listening deeply to the wisdom of the body.”
