Harvesting Joy Mini Retreat at Pumpkin Blossom Farm

Harvesting Joy Mini Retreat at Pumpkin Blossom Farm

With the lavender harvest complete and fall just around the corner, this half-day

retreat is dedicated to setting intention for the season of balance and cultivating a

joyful gratitude for all the ways in which you have changed and grown over the

summer. Your experience will include a sweet and slow yoga asana practice in the

barn, a joyful and creative art project, self-discovery through journaling and

meditation, and opportunities to reconnect with nature in the fields and forests of

the farm.

This retreat is suitable for students of all levels and experience with yoga. If you’ve

never attended a retreat, or even a group class before, this is a great opportunity to

start your yoga journey!

What to expect

Pumpkin Blossom Farm is a working lavender farm located in Warner, NH. While

most of the field has already been harvested at the time of this workshop, there will be

plenty of purple for you to enjoy! Take photos, wander the rows, or lie down and

take in the heavenly scent (we do have honey bees hard at work on the farm, but

they tend to leave us alone if we leave them alone). The farm will be closed to the

public the day of the retreat, so we will have it all to ourselves!

Yoga and meditation practices will take place in the loft studio of the barn, which is

accessible by stairs only. Please bring a mat, blanket, water, a journal and pen. We

do have a limited supply of mats and other props at the farm. The barn floor is rustic

and uneven, so you may consider bringing an extra mat or knee cushion for

increased comfort.

All materials for the art project are supplied by the farm.

We will supply a large “charcuterie board” boxed snack and lavender lemonade for

lunch. You are welcome to bring additional food for lunch if you

wish. If you have a highly specialized diet, please let us know in advance of the

retreat and we can discuss options with you. Contact Ashley @ ashley@pumpkinblossomfarm.com for more information.

Please dress in stretchy, comfortable layers appropriate for light physical activity

and whatever the day’s weather brings. The art activity will include the use of ink

stamps, so keep this in mind when choosing your outfit for the day as well.

Retreat registration is open to adults and teens aged 16 and up. Anyone under 18

must have a legal guardian or parent complete the paperwork. All participants must

sign a liability waiver and photography consent form.

This half-day retreat is $150. Payment is due at the time of registration and refunds

The address for GPS is 393 Pumpkin Hill Road, Warner, NH 0327. There are 2

parking areas at the farm, which are easily identifiable.
