A Day in the Country with Yoga and Sound Meditation Friday June 10, 2022 - rain date Saturday June 11th
Yoga, Painting and Sound Retreat
Join Marian McNair and Joan Holleb for a day of renewal in beautiful Elkhorn, Wi. Fri. June 10 with a rain date of June 11th. This event will be located on the grounds of Joanie’s lovely eighty three acre farm located about 75 minutes away from the North Shore of Chicago. Enjoy the peaceful beauty of the farm and the surroundings. The farm is bordered by 1200 acres of Department of Natural Resources forest lands, just a few miles from Lauderdale Lakes and approximately a 15 minute drive from Lake Geneva. It is also about a 15 minute drive from Kettle Moraine and 10 minutes from the charming towns of East Troy and Elkhorn. This is a nature lovers’ paradise where you can practice yoga, paint or sketch outdoors, (with a seasoned painting teacher’s help), and enjoy hiking either on the farm or nearby Kettle Moraine. A place, not too far away, where you feel as if you’ve truly gotten away.
Schedule:
10:00-11:00 Morning Yoga Bring your mats, blocks and blanket for outdoor yoga. If it is raining the class will take place in a large, clean, pole barn on the concrete floor. Be sure to bring a couple of matts or an extra blanket for your knees.

Hang out and enjoy the views or continue to explore the grounds and woods on or off of the farm.

If this option interests you please bring your own materials, whether they are sketchbook and paper or watercolors, Joanie will be happy to guide you through a quick landscape study.
