Stepping into Your Future Self: All About the Rapid City, South Dakota Retreat

Hi I’m Annie Barrett. I am a certified Yoga Health Coach and Yoga Health Coach member, and enthusiastic participant of the most recent Yogahealer retreat that took place in October 2017, in Rapid City, South Dakota. In this podcast, I talk about what we experienced on the retreat: there were about 30 of us Yogahealer members, including members from Body Thrive, Yoga Health Coaching, Living Ayurveda Course, and Awake Living, and, of course, Cate.

If you went on the Rapid City, South Dakota Retreat, this show is a great recap of what we did, and will be a reflective experience for you. If you are interested in what happens on Yogahealer retreats, this podcast will give you an idea of what we do so you can consider attending the next one (I think you should!). And if you are thinking about leading retreats for your clients or course members, or you already do, this podcast will give you excellent ideas for transformative retreat activities.

The theme of this retreat was Stepping into Your Future Self, and it was really about our personal and collective evolution. And as are all things Yogahealer, it was a collaborative affair. So tune in to hear more about this amazing experience!
