Yoga and the Creative Spirit 2026
September 16 - September 20
Writing, music, sunrise, chapel reflections, swimming, kayaking, rocker time, meditation, relaxation…
Our conference features a full schedule of yoga classes and workshops including creative writing, meditation, music, and more. Most days begin with chanting at sunrise and gentle yoga before breakfast. Candlelit chapel meditations and evening yoga nidra have become traditions. Our only requirement is that there is no requirement; you are welcome to move at whatever pace you choose, whether sitting in a rocking chair listening to the gentle lull of the bell buoy or taking every class on the schedule. Yoga and the Creative Spirit is for you, whether you are a yoga practitioner or want to be part of a creative community. Join us as we deeply engage with the island and celebrate the season’s last weekend.
