Details of this retreat

Peace—your inner peace—is the heart of this fall yoga retreat. Yoga is the perfect practice, and now is the perfect season, to nurture and strengthen your inner peace.
Through mindful yoga practices that move the body and calm the mind, you will release tension, overcome negative thoughts, and reduce anxiety, leaving you feeling healthier, calmer, and lighter.
With a focus on emotional well-being, these sessions also support healing of old wounds and help ease sadness or depression, allowing your heart’s light to grow stronger and brighter.
This welcoming retreat is open to all levels of experience. While prior yoga practice may be helpful, it is not required. Sally Barber of the Westfield Yoga Center offers compassionate guidance with skillful modifications tailored to each participant’s needs, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
The retreat balances time for connection with others and opportunities for quiet reflection and solitude. Set in the peaceful and nurturing surroundings of the Genesis Center, your inner light will be gently supported and expanded.
Join us this fall to renew your spirit, deepen your practice, and expand your light in community and calm.

Perfect
I had a wonderful first visit during a weekend retreat.
The food and hospitality were just right. Clean, comfortable rooms, comfie bed and pillows, too. Love having a sink in the room. The program I attended was well planned and entirely worth the trip. I plan to return as frequently as I can for future events. Thank you!

Becoming the Wise Woman: Embracing the Sacred Path of the Elder
Janice led our small group of wonderful ladies through exercises that made us think, helped us remember, and strengthened us our resolve to embrace the life we have this very moment. Through journaling, meditation, yoga, small group discussions and small and large group sharing we grew connected to one another and strengthened ourselves. I would recommend this retreat to my friends. I have attended retreats with Janice before and have made plans to do so again

The retreat house is lovely, clean and well managed. The food was delicious

Upgrading the Heart: Living Beyond the Egoic Operating System
My experience was one of quiet peace, and unwinding from my busy life. At the same time, I felt an inner excitement to be learning new techniques to contemplative living. The grounds and spaces were quieting, and pleasant. Everyone's quiet friendliness made me feel confident, and accepted. I made friends, and felt refreshed by being around unique people, but with common passion.
Thank you.

A heart-expanding experience
I recently attended Father Bill Sheehan's Upgrading the Heart: Living Beyond the Ego Operating System at Genesis. It was such an expansive experience that it's hard to believe I was only there for 43 hours. It felt like 4 or 5 days! Father Bill is such an amazing priest. He has been doing and teaching Centering Prayer for decades, and there is no one like him! He is so knowledgable, compassionate, articulate, and humorous. This workshop brought me closer to myself and to God than I would have believed possible in just a weekend.
As always, Genesis provided a warm (literally and figuratively!), comfortable, welcoming and supportive space as the backdrop for our learning to take place. Jen's meals were delicious, nutritious and plentiful. The staff were welcoming, kind and helpful.
I have already signed up for Father Bill's return workshop in December.
