Extract the Nectar Retreat with Meghan Currie

The Theme for this 7-day retreat, "Extract The Nectar'' comes from the idea that there's something nourishing to extract from every single moment of our lives. Even though, or especially when, what’s unfolding tastes bitter and hard to swallow, there's always a lesson, something that we can convert, over time, into nutrition, growth, transformation, and wisdom.

The experiences of our lives can be seen as nectarous events. The nectar being the potent, nutrient-dense lessons, the takeaways, the deep insights that lead us to the next step on the ladder of our personal and collective growth.

Etymologically, the word Nectar is derived from Greek ‘nektar’, as a compound of ‘nek', meaning death, and ‘tar’ or ‘tere', meaning the ability to cross over, pass through, and overcome.  This passing through or overcoming symbolizes a transformation of some kind, from one state of being to another.

“It takes a bee 10,000,000 trips to collect enough nectar to make 1 pound of honey.”

-Sue Monk Kidd


Most flowers secrete relatively small amounts of nectar, but produce more as the flower is visited by pollinators.  As humans, converting nectar into honey can be a journey of a lifetime, and the more we seek out the nectar, being symbolic of the growth, the more nectar is produced.

In this 7-day retreat, we'll focus on intentional, nourishing and playful movement practices that will open up the channels of inner exploration. Taking time to go inward, to source the intelligence from within, connect with new friends, rest, play, reset and explore together.

Join me for a week of immersing in the journey rather than the destination while opening up to extract whatever the moment is giving you as a form of nectar, nourishment, and growth.

“May you find in the nectar of life,
the sweetness of hope in your heart,
feel the comfort of song birds in your soul,
the grace of new wind in your wings.
Color your spirit with rainbows
and shower gold dust in your hair.

Time heals.
Life renews.
Dreams take flight again.
Close your eyes and drink it all in.”

-Laurel Burch


All practitioner levels WELCOME.

ABOUT THE TEACHER

MEGHAN CURRIE
https://www.instagram.com/meghancurrieyoga/

Meghan Currie is a well-known yoga instructor with 20 years of experience in practicing yoga and 10 years of experience in teaching around the world. Her classes focus on breath-based movement techniques to help connect the mind and body. She also incorporates creativity and playfulness into her classes to encourage self-expression.

Meghan’s yoga style is an unexpected blend of strong and playful.  Her movement is intuitive, dance-like,  slow fluid style that uses breath awareness to deepen one's connections somatically. Embodying curiosity, complexity, and whimsy to inject lighthearted deliciousness into sequences that are often times quite physically challenging. The emphasis on breath creates a depth of bodily experiencing and a fluid meditative state that helps focus and still the mind while opening, aligning and toning the body.

Like any recipe, she believes there must be just the right amount of all the ingredients to produce the most epic flavor. When she teaches, she mixes herself with all other unpredictable and delicious ingredients to co-create with the universe and be a part of something grand. In her practice, awareness is consciously anchored in somatic experiencing moment to moment as this enables everything to be felt fully and processed as it comes up. The outcome is a growth, not only in physical strength, but also emotionally and mentally. The intention above all is an embracing of all the diverse aspects of oneself. Meghan regularly tours around the globe teaching yoga workshops, retreats and festivals. She believes that every student is also everyone's teacher.
