New Retreat Announcement: Yoga + Storytelling in Kenya
Join us for writing, photography, and yoga in March 2023
Hello yogis! Thanks for your ongoing interest in classes and retreats. Exciting news: today I’m announcing a retreat in beautiful Kenya with my dear friend and National Geographic photographer Nichole Sobecki.
We begin in Nairobi, Kenya’s humming capital, where we’ll practice with one of the city’s best yoga teachers, meet some baby elephants, and visit a giraffe sanctuary. Then we’ll be off to Ol Pejeta in Kenya’s Laikipia region for four days of safari, yoga, meditation, bush walks, sundowners, and more. Finally, we will head to Lamu on the Kenyan coast, where we’ll also enjoy fresh-caught seafood, evening dhow rides, long beach walks, and the ability to explore one of the most stunning and special places in the world.
Throughout the retreat, Nichole will lead photography workshops — not just how to take a great photo on safari, but how to use visual tools to tell a compelling story. Jill will lead accompanying writing workshops focused on effective storytelling and weaving words with images. This is not your typical drop-into-a-beautiful-place yoga retreat: Nichole is an award-winning photographer who has lived in Nairobi for a decade, and Jill spent several years living and reporting there as well; we’ll be taking you to our very favorite places that may not be on the typical tourist agenda, and supporting local teachers, yogis, and business owners along the way. And we’ll both work with you individually on your own story-telling project.
You can find out more about the retreat here.
To inquire or sign up, simply reply to this email and I’ll send on more details. We are limiting this retreat to 12 participants and expect it to fill up quickly, so do reach out if you’re interested!
In the next few weeks, I’ll be announcing writing and yoga retreat offerings in Costa Rica in early March 2023, and Greece in late May / early June 2023 — so stay tuned. And if there are other places you’d love to retreat, let me know…
Hope to see you somewhere in the world soon!
xx Jill
