SUMMARY:Circle of Connection: A Morning Wellness Retreat
DESCRIPTION:A Morning Retreat Featuring Yoga\, Meditative Mandala Art & Hands-On Horse Connection Experience. \nStep away from the busyness of everyday life and into a morning of movement\, creativity\, and meaningful connection. \n🧘 Set on the peaceful ground of Hold Your Horses\, this retreat begins with a gentle yoga practice to awaken the body\, calm the mind\, and invite presence. \n🎨 You’ll then explore the ancient art of mandalas through a guided\, meditative painting experience with Vashali\, discovering how creativity can become a pathway to mindfulness. No artistic experience is necessary – just come as you are. \n🐴 The morning concludes with a guided hands-on horse connection experience\, where you’ll have the opportunity to engage with the horses through touch or quiet observation. Horses invite us into authenticity\, presence\, and connection in ways that are both grounding and inspiring. \nLeave feeling refreshed\, centered\, and carrying home not only your own meaningful mandala\, but also a renewed sense of calm and connection. Weather permitting\, the retreat will be held outdoors\, surrounded by the natural beauty of the farm. \nDetails: July 19th | 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM \n$135 per person \nAges 11+ \nNo prior yoga or horse experience needed \nTICKETS: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/july-wellness-retreat \nBIOS \nYOGA\, BREATH & MEDITATION with Beth \nBeth Claseman is the founder of Belle Shanti Yoga & Wellness and a dedicated yoga teacher who is passionate about helping people return to themselves—one breath at a time. \nHer work is rooted in the belief that we don’t need to become someone new\, but rather remember who we are beneath the noise. Through breath\, movement\, and moments of stillness\, she creates spaces that invite connection\, clarity\, and a sense of coming home. \nBeth’s teaching is guided not only by movement\, but by a deep awareness of the body’s subtle energy. She weaves this into each experience—whether through dynamic flow\, gentle practice\, or restorative stillness—meeting people where they are and supporting both physical and energetic balance. \nInspired by nature and the quiet wisdom of horses\, her approach reflects a balance of grounded presence and intuitive guidance. She believes that healing happens when we slow down enough to listen\, and that within each of us is a steady place we can return to again and again. \n \nwww.belleshantiyoga.com \nBelle Shanti Yoga Instagram \nEQUINE EXPERIENCE with Loveaya \nLoveaya Magnus brings a lifelong connection with horses into every experience she creates. She has owned and worked with horses since the age of nine and has never been far from them\, shaping a deep understanding rooted not just in training\, but in observation\, relationship\, and respect for the herd. \nShe holds a degree in Therapeutic Horsemanship and is an Advanced Certified Instructor through PATH International\, as well as a mentor and Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning. Her approach blends professional expertise with a holistic perspective—believing that horses and nature offer a space where people can return to themselves. \nMuch of Loveaya’s learning has come directly from the horses—watching herd dynamics\, noticing subtle communication\, and allowing the horses to guide the experience. She is passionate about helping others connect with horses in this same authentic way. Horses have a unique ability to ground us\, bring us into the present moment\, and reflect what we carry—offering insight\, calm\, and connection without judgment. \nThrough these retreats\, Loveaya creates opportunities for people to slow down\, tune in\, and experience the quiet\, powerful presence of horses in a way that is both meaningful and transformative. \n\nMANDALA ART with Vaishali Kanade \nVaishali is a Yoga and Ayurveda educator who helps modern practitioners live in greater harmony with themselves and the natural world. \nRaised in India amidst rich cultural traditions\, she transitioned from a career in science\, technology\, and business to follow her calling to share ancient yogic wisdom. \nAs a certified core faculty member at a premier Midwest institute\, she leads workshops and teacher trainings in yoga\, science and philosophy\, meditation\, mantra\, and Ayurvedic nutrition. \nHer offerings are designed to welcome every individual on their unique path\, helping them restore balance\, cultivate inner stillness\, and nourish body\, mind\, and spirit.
