Equinox: Balancing Energies Retreat
With Melinda Rothouse & Jenny Fairbank
September 18-21, 2025
Nevada City, CA
The autumn equinox: the transitional moment when summer turns to fall, and 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.
