Embrace a softer start to the new year with this relaxing and inspiring weekend retreat led by yoga & meditation teacher Sarah Hyde, with beloved astrologer and coach Jaz Rambeau as our special guest. Now in its fourth year, Hold Lightly is held annually at the Aldermarsh Retreat Center on Whidbey Island with meals provided by the wonderful Renee Blair of Nourish the Roots.
Throughout all of nature, winter is a time for resting, recharging and dreaming. Let go of the rigidity of new year’s resolutions and lean into a more easeful start to the year that feels more attuned to nature. Over the course of the weekend, explore what you’re wishing for in 2026 and beyond, what you can let go of, and how to move towards what’s next in a softer, more nourishing way. Supported by gentle yoga and meditation practices, astrology, and creative workshops, we’ll learn to hold lightly to our intentions and dreams as we begin the new year.
