Itinerary

Friday through Sunday we will spend in Riga, exploring the vibrant layered historical streets, from medieval to art nouveau to modern, and soaking in the Baltic culture. Then will reTREAT ourselves to five days of progressively sequenced yoga, meditation and reflection in the 18th century Grasu Pils Mansion surrounded by luscious, sprawling nature, with optional excursions to a nearby lake, Cesvaine Palace, and Medieval Castle Ruins. 


The Location

The 18th century Grasu Pils Mansion is a site marked by deep inspiration and caritas. Originally the home of a German Baron, the site was re-imagined in the 1990s as a Children's Village by a Frenchman, following a deeply spiritual experience. To this day, proceeds from the mansion support this local Orphanage.

Retreat was amazing. Suzanne brings her heart and soul to everything, from yoga to home cooked incredible food. Since I am older, I was worried about being able to keep up with yoga and surfing but the atmosphere Suzanne creates is so relaxed, there was nothing to worry about. 5 stars, thumbs up.

What a fabulous retreat! Great food, great yoga, great surfing, great company. We had a wonderful time even with the power out. Suzanne is a wonderful cook and she gathered a very welcoming and interesting group of people together. My husband and I attended on the spur of the moment. We didn't know any of the other people there but they made us feel welcome from the start. We were a bit nervous about the surfing but it was super fun and the beach was gorgeous.

Suzanne is so full of positive energy! Her nurturing spirit and delightful sense of humor would bring any group together. The venue for the yoga and meditation retreat was serene and spa-like, with gorgeous views of the ocean and nature all around. The weekend was a bounty of restorative and challenging yoga, thoughtful meditation, self-care, and delicious and nourishing food. We are already looking forward to the next one!

Crashing waves, birds chirping, sun shining overhead, beautifully kind people, nourishing food. These are just some highlights of this restful & rejuvenating weekend with Suzanne. The ongoing challenge to slow down & check in with myself will always be there, but Suzanne gave me the key to the portal where I can access myself in blissful states of yoga & meditation. I feel so grateful that I was able to participate in this weekend of wellness that I plan on incorporating these teachings into my everyday practice.

A very nice group of people. Just the right size. Delicious meals prepared with love by Suzanne.

Suzanne's retreats are very special and I've loved them all! There was a really nice balance of yoga, meditation and time to restore, especially in the beauty of Nature. She's a great teacher, in many ways, and always fun to be around too. One of my favorites for sure! Highly recommended!
