SUMMARY:Yoga For Grief
DESCRIPTION:Yoga East\, Kittery\, ME and on Zoom\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYoga is the body and heart-centered work we need to do to move grief and trauma through our psyche\, leaving behind just pure love and gratitude for the person you lost.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Deana Cavan\, RYT from Rett’s Roost and Michelle Verdi\, RYT from Yoga East for an in-person donation-based class for the grieving body. We welcome all levels\, including beginners to yoga\, and all grievers\, not just bereaved parents.  \n\n\n\nIn the first part of the class we will incorporate readings\, an offering to our loved ones\, meditative exercises\, and gentle body movement. In the second half of the class Michelle will offer reiki during a led Yoga Nidra meditation led by Deana. \n\n\n\nThis practice is meant to be restorative and spriritual\, allowing you to reclaim your breath and appreciate the love for your beloved that still resides inside you. Yoga brings clarity to the often inaccurate and self-deprecating thoughts that surround our loss. And it opens our hearts up for love and gratitude to fill in the broken places. Reiki helps to clear the energetic blocks that hold us back from true healing. \n\n\n\nIf you lost a child\, this class is free. If you’ve had another type of loss\, please make a donation of at least $22 on our website. We will also accept cash\, check\, and venmo at the yoga studio.  \n\n\n\nThis class will take place on November 19th from 6-7:30pm EDT at Yoga East in Kittery\, ME and online. Space is limited in-person so please sign up online. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Behold the Cold Polar Plunge
DESCRIPTION:The 4th Annual ‘Behold the Cold’ Polar Plunge in support of Rett’s Roost Retreats will be taking place at a new location this year! \n\n\n\nJoin us on 3/2 at 11am at Wells Harbor to plunge into the Webhannet River in support of Rett’s Roost’s mission of healing and hope! \n\n\n\nYou can plunge remotely (in any body of cold water at any time) or in-person at our new\, safer location on March 2nd at 11am. We will take the dip together at 11:30. If the weather is too extreme\, we will gather instead one week later on March 9th at 9:30am (plunge at 10am). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration Fee: $15 to help cover the cost of this event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSuggested Fundraising: In order to reach our fundraising goal of $30\,000\, we are asking all participants to create their own crowdfunding page to share with their social networks and attempt to raise $222 in honor of Rett. It’s hard to believe\, but on 2/22 this year\, Rett will have been gone for ten years.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCREATE YOUR DONATION PAGE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCan’t make the plunge\, but still want to do something? You can support one of our plungers instead!  \n\n\n\n\nDONATE\n\n\n\n\n\nDon’t miss this fun event–your bravery will match that of kids facing cancer treatment and their courageous families! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you to these amazing sponsors for our event!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSwag available for purchase at the event…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet your Bonfire apparel with chilly owl Behold the Cold logo (order before 2/7 to receive by event date):\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBUY NOW\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHead on over to Yoga East the weekend before the plunge! \n\n\n\nGet your body warm and offer a donation to our Behold the Cold Campaign. Suggested donation for a yoga class is $20 and up (Cash\, Checks made out to Rett’s Roost\, Venmo @retts-roost accepted). Sign up ahead at www.yogaeastyoga.com or just show up at 2 State St\, Kittery\, ME. Big thanks to Michelle and Dave for offering to teach for free in support of Rett’s Roost\, and for Chris for being a loyal business sponsor and supporter for all our events. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy would I ever!!?? \n\n\n\nIf you haven’t yet heard of the benefits of submerging one self into freezing cold water as a form of therapy\, then let me share\, because at Rett’s Roost we love to promote self-care and easy\, inexpensive ways to therapeutically support our wellbeing during trying times. You may know of athletes that take cold water baths. This “shocking” therapy is shown to benefit many ailments and diseases\, chronic pain\, fatigue\, and mitigate anxiety and depression (see Wim Hof method and WebMD’s endorsement). We know how long winter can feel in Maine\, and to maintain our sanity\, it’s imperative to embrace the cold and dark months of the year just as much as we treasure our Maine summers. \n\n\n\nThat is why we think ‘Behold the Cold’ is the perfect annual fundraiser for Rett’s Roost. It’s part of our mission to use nature to heal and to be fully present and aware of both the sorrow and the beauty all around us. \n\n\n\nCheck out this video of our 1st Polar Plunge in 2022!

SUMMARY:Yoga For Seasonal Anxiety & Depression
DESCRIPTION:Wintering in a cold climate is a practice\, just like yoga. If you don’t pay attention\, your mood can easily turn to gloom and doom\, and life can start to feel untenable. Taking care of one’s self in the wintertime should be a priority\, especially if you are someone that avoids being outdoors in the colder temps\, despises winter\, or shows symptoms of seasonal affective disorder. For these folks\, yoga is a perfect way to overcome the anxiety and depression that creeps in during the cold\, dark\, long months. \n\n\n\nThis class is accessible to anyone over 11 in moderately good health. No yoga experience is necessary. We will be moving\, to create heat from within\, and breathing\, to stoke that internal fire. The practice will begin and end with meditative breath-work in a restorative pose\, and in between\, we’ll salute the sun\, soften our effort\, and strengthen our mind through a flowing sequence of asanas (poses). \n\n\n\nJoin us on 3/2 at 12pm EDT online or at Yoga East in Kittery\, ME.  \n\n\n\n\nSign up\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMake a donation:\n\n\n\nPlease note that this yoga event is a donation-based class in support of the 3rd Annual Rett’s Roost Behold the Cold Polar Plunge happening the following day (please donate online or bring cash or check made out to Rett’s Roost to class). All funds raised will be used to help enrich the lives of families facing childhood cancer and child loss by providing them with peer support and therapies at our healing retreats. Donations are not required by families experiencing childhood cancer or child loss. \n\n\n\n\nDonate\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind out how you can participate in the Polar Plunge too! Our community will be jumping into the ocean on March 3rd at 11am in Ogunquit (or any cold body of water near you). \n\n\n\n\nBehold the Cold
