You’re Invited: Handcrafting Yoga Retreat

Inspired to Create: A Handcrafting Yoga Retreat!

Thurs, December 5 - Sun, December 8, 2024

w/ Monica Bonugli

$675 per person through Sept 3 / $725 after

 

Take a moment for yourself this holiday season, and get ready to be inspired. We'll play with several types of crafting AND have time to enjoy some shopping and relaxation during our three-night stay just 45 minutes north of Spring Branch.
Let your creativity flow amidst the beautiful scenery of the Texas hill country with Hand Craft Yoga’s first crafting retreat! Enjoy the process of creating 8 handmade gifts from our homebase in Dripping Springs this December.  Throughout our time together, we'll engage in a variety of crafting: making several little gifts and one big project!
Our homebase was made to host creative retreats! With plenty of space for our yoga sessions and workstations for everyone, we’ll have plenty of room to handcraft and yoga! Our getaway is easy to find, but you will feel a million miles away from the day-to-day when you gaze out across the serene pond and private property surrounded by mature oaks.
As our private chef prepares meals on-site in our beautiful kitchen, we'll feel right at home in the well-appointed bedrooms and bathrooms. This retreat has a maximum of 12 spots, and each person will have a comfortable twin bed.

The Details

On Thursday, you can check in between 3 and 5 pm. We’ll have snacks and drinks as we welcome each other to the space. Before dinner, we'll make our first craft to break the seal on the craft room! Around 7:30 pm, a relaxed dinner will be served, followed by a gentle grounding yoga class.

Friday will kick off with an optional 8 am yoga practice. After a delicious breakfast, it's time for crafting! After lunch, we'll take a quick trip to town to gather inspiration. We plan to visit Solstice Gardens and Dreamland Sculpture Gardens.

As we return to our craft stations later on Friday afternoon, we'll enjoy chair yoga before an early evening sound bath with Cherie! This will be followed by a homemade dinner and time for some group fun to close our night.

On Saturday, we’ll start with a rise-and-shine yoga practice to prepare us for the day. Right after breakfast, we'll play in the craft room before heading out to a tasty lunch at one of my favorite cafes in Dripping Springs: Rolling in Thyme and Dough! Then, we'll visit a local yarn store, a book store, and the OroBianco food truck for some midday gelato!

Once we return, we'll have a little stretch and release yoga session, followed by some crafting. This is when we finish our big project (I'm so excited!)! Saturday evening, we’ll have dinner and a relaxing yoga Nidra session to unwind from our day.

Sunday morning will be time for one last yoga session together before a breakfast send-off.  We'll pack up our crafts for easy transport and say farewell!
