Summary

Join GayOutdoors for a day at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health.  Located in the Berkshires, Kripalu is North America's largest yoga retreat center.  They have generously offered GO members 10 Retreat & Renewal passes on Sunday, March 9th.  These are $150 when purchased directly, so this is a generous offer on their part.  Treat yourself to a day of stretching, guided hikes, and ridiculously delicious food!

If you are interested in joining us, you MUST sign up on GayOutdoors by Sunday, February 2nd.  I have to provide a list of names and emails to Kripalu so they can register us for the day.

Below is an outline of the schedule for the day.  Healing Arts services, such as massage, acupuncture, sound healing, and bodywork, can be added at an additional cost (not covered by our free passes).  I will be staying locally the night before and will be there from morning yoga through dinner.  You are welcome to arrive later in the morning if that works better for you.

Hi all, I’m planning to head up from NY on Saturday if anyone would like to meet for dinner and to share lodgings. Please reach out to me Thanks, Rich

Hi everyone. Thanks so much to everyone who has been in touch about this trip to Kripalu. I just wanted to put out a quick reminder that I will be sending them the final list of attendees this Sunday. If you don't think you can make it on March 9th, please consider opening up your spot for someone on the waiting list. If not, I am very much looking forward to seeing all of you in five weeks!
