coming home

wellness retreat on Seven Mile Island
October 24-26, 2026
​Stone Harbor, NJ
​
Join me and Amy Sue Smith
at Sol Luna Yoga in Stone Harbor, NJ
for a weekend of mindful practices
to help us all feel more grounded and at home. 

We will put aside the hustle and bustle of our wired, multi-tasking lives for a restorative weekend filled with all sorts of practices that will allow us to slow down, catch our breath, ease physical tension and mental busy-ness. 

Meals and transition times between practices have been thoughtfully planned throughout the weekend so you can really get a break from it all, relax and laugh with one another.

WHAT PAST RETREATERS ARE SAYING:

I wanted to express my gratitude to the 2 of you for the 'centering' weekend at the studio.  It was the medicine I didn't know I needed. I carried that loving energy with me and I believe it helped me while I sat in the Emergency Room with my daughter and her 18month old after the baby took a nasty fall.  Thank goodness she's ok!! But I felt still and present for my daughter and her baby.  I even left my cell phone at home in the chaos, but didn't really care.  This energy I believe I can attribute to the blissful weekend I spent with you and the other fellow yogis. ~ Cheryl

It was such a lovely weekend.  Christine and I wish we were back in Avalon with you all this weekend.  How lucky we were with the weather however! Thank you for creating a very special experience of relaxation and connection.  Absolutely perfect. ​~ Christine L.

I wanted to thank you both again for a wonderful weekend. Groups (of women) aren't always a comfortable space for me, but the retreat truly is a safe, welcoming, warm place to be because of the guidance and energy of you both, and I am grateful. I woke up on Monday morning and realized what I felt over the weekend that I wasn't able to voice during the retreat was that I was seen, and I was nurtured, both of which I truly was in need of.  ~ Liz

​Thanks again for a peaceful surrendering weekend! I carried your energy home with me and had a blissed out day today..sun was shining, daffodils were in bloom, temp was warm...spring has sprung. You yoga mammas did a great job hosting us and sharing your gifts with us. I am grateful. ~ Nancy
