Set between the Full Strawberry Moon and Summer Solstice, celebrate yourself with this 4 day retreat in beautiful Oregon. A retreat to stand in your truth as you continue to shift, evolve, transform into becoming who you really are.  You will take time to honor your lights and shadows, travel to yourself in recognition of your ancestors, who you are and who you will continue to become.  Expand your heart, increase your insights and reconnect as you raise your awareness and understanding through yoga, meditation and mindful eating.  

Still Meadow is a sanctuary and setting for a contemplative and restorative experience in the beauty of our rich old growth forest, the evolution in consciousness, reverence for the earth and the sacredness of spirit in expression. Set on 50 acres of forest and meadow, with a year-round running creek, hiking trails and sauna, our lush setting provides a nurturing environment that inspires a deepening of experience.  With its beautifully landscaped grounds, located in rural Damascus, Oregon, only a half hour from both downtown Portland and the Portland International Airport.

About your Retreat Leads

Helen Lee, E-RYT® 500, YACEP® has been teaching nationally and internationally since 2007. She received her BA from University of Hawaii and her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and has performed, studied and/or taught yoga in China, Belize, Finland, Iceland, India, Mexico, Italy, Germany, South Korea, Chicago, Hawaii and New York. She received her 200hr yoga certification from Chicago Yoga Center with Suddha Weixler in 2007 and in 2013 completed her 300hr yoga certification from Rishikesh Yog Peeth in India with Krishna Sikhwal (Samatva Yogalaya). Helen believes yoga, meditation and mindfulness to be powerful medicine, a healing and nourishing practice she has been cultivating and evolving in her teaching, her students and herself. She has lead teacher trainings, retreats, workshops and new moon women circles. She is a Reiki Master and has studied chakra therapy, crystal healing, mindfulness, mindful eating, various dance forms, aerial yoga, barre and pilates. She continues to be curious and intrigued by simple discoveries in nature, solo travels and silent meditation retreats.

Alex Nicandro began practicing yoga in curiosity of finding a new way to be physically active. The mind-body connection she discovered in this practice served as a profound tool for navigating everyday stressors, big and small. With much desire to deepen her knowledge and serve others, she completed her 200-hour teacher training at CorePower Yoga in 2013 and has been teaching yoga since. She believes that yoga creates a landscape for self-discovery, mindfulness, confidence and a pathway to peace. She has devoted and shaped her line of work to teaching yoga and coaching through other forms of fitness-based classes. She has led and helped facilitate various yoga teacher trainings and programs of continuing education. While her personal practice grows, she continues to seek opportunities to serve through new teaching collaborations in the yoga community.
