EQUINOX: BALANCING ENERGIES RETREAT
with Melinda Rothouse & Jenny Fairbank
September 18-21, 2025
Nevada City, CA
The autumn equinox, the transition from summer to fall when darkness and light come into balance, offers a perfect moment to practice harmony and equanimity. This retreat, open to all, invites us to reach deep within to reveal what is out of balance and bring it back to equilibrium. It’s a season to harvest insights and the fruits of our labors, a sacred threshold within the yearly cycle to pause, reflect, and reconnect. Combining outer movement and inner contemplation, the retreat offers an opportunity to connect with nature, slow down, go within, and experience our true self through yoga, meditation, introspection, journaling, nourishing meals, time in nature, and a nurturing community.
The retreat will take place in Northern California, outside of Nevada City, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
Sacramento is the closest airport (approximately 1.5 hours from the retreat location).
More Details Coming Soon!
