One-Day Retreat at Wedrose Acres



Despite the rainy forecast, on September 19th, we arrived at Wedrose Acres Animal Sanctuary in Gridley with sunshine in our hearts and were soon joined by nearly 100 others who each contributed their own light. We enjoyed a lovely reception from Tobein, the selfless caregiver at Wedrose Acres, as well as a delicious vegan lunch provided by Upton's Naturals. There was time for a few hours of relaxation and visitation with the animals before a fun-filled asana practice in a pasture full of singing crickets surrounded by the sounds of nature (with the occasional donkey chiming in). From the experienced to the brand new, all of the yogis dedicated their efforts that day to something meaningful to them and in the end, we raised $1000 for the continued care of the animal residents of Wedrose Acres! A great success and we hope to return in the spring (and hope that you will join us)!
