Retreat November 17-19, 2023
We are happy to announce that our 5th annual retreat will be held November 17-19, 2023 Ferry Beach Retreat and conference center in Saco Maine.
Why a Retreat with Cindy Brown and Richard Davis?
Cindy Brown combines her many years as a psychotherapist, Yoga teacher, Laughter Yoga leader, osteoporosis yoga teacher, and meditation teacher to create a deep healing and multi-faceted approach to yoga and spiritual practices. Cindy’s yoga classes are slow, deep and meditative with the goal of increased awareness and peace. She accommodates all levels in her classes and encourages her students to honor themselves in their individual process.
Richard Davis is a retired Professor of Film Scoring at Berklee College of Music, multi-instrumentalist, producer, conductor, and Kirtan leader. Richard has been leading and teaching about spiritual music for many years, and communicates his experience and knowledge of kirtan, raga, jazz, classical and pop music to students of all ranges of musical experience and ability.
Together Cindy and Richard combine their skills to lead a deeply healing, spiritual weekend of rejuvenation and self discovery.

What folks are saying about last years retreat:
Last year’s event was amazing! Cindy and Richard were perfect facilitators for the retreat. It was a lovely balance of yoga and music, in a beautiful setting on the side of a hill in Western Mass, on the VT border. Great food, hot tubs, walking trails – and, most importantly, what makes, or breaks, a retreat – a wonderful group of like-minded people to share the experience with! I can’t wait to attend again this fall! Brian Murphy
