Rest and Refuge Retreat: Restore Your Spirit With Michelle C. Johnson and Rashid Hughes at Whidbey Institute


Many of us are being called to find places of refuge and create space for more rest in our lives. We are moving through, have weathered, and are weathering so much as we traverse uncertainty, and grief, face heartbreak, and as we try to create and be beacons of hope. The Rest and Refuge Retreat is an opportunity for us to practice deep rest, restore our spirits, and remember our points and places of refuge. During this retreat, we engage the elements of earth, air, fire, water, and the ether to inspire profound rest, ease, transformation, and healing. We will offer contemplative, mindfulness, and somatic practices, yogic teachings, and practices such as meditation, yoga nidra, pranayama, and self-reflection to move us into a place of peace, wakefulness, and harmony.

In this retreat, you will experience:

  • Multiple learning sessions with Rashid and Michelle

  • Yoga Asana

  • Meditation

  • Pranayama

  • Self-study and reflection

  • A fire ceremony (conditions permitting)
