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


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, including movement, self-study, meditation, yogic teachings, and rest.

  • A deeper understanding of the elemental energy we contain and how we can work with them to nourish and replenish our spirits

  • Time to commune with nature and the elements

  • A nature walk through Elohee’s beautiful and diverse forest featuring a 100ft mountainside waterfall.

  • A Puja, fire ceremony

  • Time to commune with others and time to be still and quiet

  • Yummy and healthy chef-prepared meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

  • Optional Massage/ Spa services *not included in program fee*.
