A Day of Yoga and Meditation

DENISE CARRICO, BFA, CERTIFIED INTEGRAL YOGA TEACHER, CBC-Y, CHAPLAIN-IN-TRAINING

A life-long artist and seeker, Denise found her spiritual ‘home’ in the beautiful, heartful practices of Yoga & Meditation and has been offering classes, workshops and retreats for almost 35 years. Her hope is to make the teachings and the practices open to all who wish to deepen their relationship with themselves, to become kinder and more intimate with their own bodies and hearts and to expand that out to the wider world. Her practice is a rich and integrated one – using breath, mindfulness, Metta meditation, Yoga therapy, somatic movement, stillness, rest, poetry – and is both gentle and therapeutic.

As Faculty-in-Residence at Harmony Hill Retreat Center, Denise co-facilitates the Cancer Retreats, the Health Professional Renewal Retreats and leads two- and three-day Wellness Workshops for Yoga & Meditation as well as for Grief & Loss. Sitting in circle or moving gently to the rhythm of breath and offering a space where the wisdom and beauty of those who gather may naturally arise are at the heart of her work.

She also offers weekly Yoga & Meditation classes for the local community.

When not teaching or facilitating programs, Denise walks the quiet forest above Harmony Hill every day as a spiritual practice with her dog and, sometimes, the cat and hikes the mountains of the Olympics as often as possible.  And cherishes what is holy & beautiful in this world:  her grandchildren, the body in motion, calligraphy, the mountains, poetry, kindness, love.  These words of St Teresa of Calcutta guide her life & work:  “We can do no great things;  only small things with great love.”

Lunch is not included in the workshop. Please be sure to bring lunch with you. There is a kitchenette that you will have access to at the facility.
