The Details
-
Hosted by Sky Yoga and guided by a talented community of teachers, facilitators, and local partners, Wild Sky welcomes both seasoned practitioners and first-timers curious about the intersection of movement, mindfulness, nature, and community.
Wild Sky is an invitation to step away from the pace of everyday life and into a different rhythm. Set among the forests of Vanderkamp, we'll gather for a day of movement, music, conversation, and connection surrounded by nature. Together we'll create a space where curiosity replaces routine, presence replaces distraction, and community becomes something you don't just experience—you help create.
Come for the practices.
Stay for the moments you never planned.
Leave carrying something you didn't arrive with.
