Begin Again: A Day Retreat

Vow To Live Fully

“Waking up this morning, I smile. Twenty-four brand new hours are before me.
I vow to live fully in each moment and to look at all beings with eyes of compassion.”

Thich Nhat Hanh

Focus On Being Present

Each day truly is a gift. Over and over we are offered an opportunity to begin again. Take this day away from the hustle and bustle of the ‘everyday’ in order to focus on being present and aware of each moment as it unfolds. Simply being here in the peaceful surroundings of Sugar Ridge will support the nourishment of your body, mind and soul as you enjoy delicious vegan cuisine, acres of forest and trails, and cozy spots to curl up by the fire. Feel free to enjoy any or all of the orgainzed activities, or simply take the day to be still…this day is all about you!

Meet Your Facilitator

Jenny Jackson

Jenny Jackson has been immersed in Movement Education for more than 20 years. Jenny is a seeker of inner well-being, and she consciously aligns herself living with an open mind, an open heart and embodies joy & vitality which is reflected in her welcoming & inclusive style of instruction. She teaches with a strong anatomical influence while still deeply honouring the classical roots of yoga. Jenny believes that feeling vital and in harmony with others & within our own selves is the primary goal (in life and in our bodies), and practice should reflect this.
