Radical Peace Yin Yoga Retreat June 12-14, 2026 at Willow Springs Lodge in North San Juan CA.

Theme: If we calm our own mind and bodies through healing modalities, such as yoga, acupressure, and meditation, we can bring that calmness to others.  So the practice becomes a way to start the journey of bringing peace to our family, friends, and community.  In a moment of anger or hurt, it can be a radical step to use the tools of yoga to create a pause before responding, so that your wisest self shines through.

Content: You will learn 3 self care acupressure points to promote your inner peace while attending yin yoga classes taught by KC Chapman.  Melissa Domingo will guide you in a relaxing yoga nidra session and Daniel will teach a qigong class for healthy living.  Kerry Cataline will lead you in a Sound healing session with her bowls and gong. Delicious food will be provided by Denay and Martin of Sierra Nevada Camp Chef.
