Autumn Women's Silent Mid-Coast Maine Retreat
October 3-7, 2024
Join me for a retreat at Wanderwood, a restored farmhouse and home to a vibrant vegetable farm. The property is located on the shores of peaceful Pemaquid Pond with its meandering forest trails.
Join us for 4 nights and 3 days as we practice yoga and meditation in the beautiful, renovated barn with heated floors.
The intention for the silent women’s yoga retreat is self-nourishment. This retreat will create space to rest, restore, renew, and invigorate.
Together we will have time away from our usual life’s doings to find a new daily rhythm inspired from deep within. We will practice yoga asanas to stretch and strengthen our bodies, and we will calm our nervous systems with deep restorative yoga poses. The practice of meditation and breathwork may allow us to let go, heal, and tap into inspiration and joy. Rest and restoration of the layers of our physical, energetic, emotional, mental, intuitive, and spiritual selves with Yoga Nidra will enhance our retreat.
In between our practices will be space and time to rest, wander along the forest trails, kayak, swim, sit and do nothing but gaze; at the farm, flowers, pond, fields, and forest, as well as time to journal and reflect.
Our time in silence together will create a peaceful and calm environment for retreat. Silence allows you to be free from the distractions, busyness, and communications of day-to-day life and opens oneself to inner contemplation. Deep reflection, space to be in your true self, and internal and external noticing emerges in the silence. We will leave our phones and electronics behind so that you can focus entirely on this gift of time to be in silence.
We will have opportunities to share in our daily yoga classes.
Our days will encompass 3 fresh and delicious vegetarian meals with vegetables harvested on site.

Silent Yoga Retreat for Women Hosted by Marcia DeGeer In Bayacas, Spain
April 10-17, 2025
Join me for a retreat in beautiful Southern Spain! Retreat, relax and reset at the House of Light Retreat Centre, a tranquil sanctuary set among the stunning natural backdrop of Spain’s southern Sierra Nevada Mountain range. This magical Andalusian property and land, from where you can view both the mountains and the ocean, is beautiful and inspiring, as well as incredibly nurturing. Its diverse and distinctive spaces were lovingly designed by owners Adrian and Ceri to provide individuals the opportunity to connect with nature, open up, drop into vulnerability and connect quickly and deeply with oneself.

They must be scheduled through me, three weeks in advance of the retreat. Payment for the treatments is made directly to House of Light upon your arrival.
