Hello friends and welcome to this bi-annual gathering of Midwest
yoga practitioners. My name is Thomas Fortel and I warmly invite
you to this extended spring weekend of fun and reflection with our
yoga community. I live in Big Sur Ca, am from St. Louis and look
forward each year to this retreat time in the heartland of our
country.
The practices of yoga are unfailing in their effect to quiet and
calm, to heal, to energize and to deeply restore the practitioner.

When we gather in community and engage the various practices
of yoga, we experience a sloughing off of accumulated energy,
the removal of fatigue, and return home renewed and refreshed.
You are welcomed, on this classic spring weekend, to join us as
we practice, heal, and play together.
Each day, we’ll engage the practices of pranayama (breath) and
Open meadows, springs, woodlands, and organically farmed
fields surround the dwellings and meetings spaces with sacred
presence. Gardens invite guests to wander or rest in the midst of
the beauty of every season. Trails and roads provide access to
more than 300 acres of field and forest. Indoor spaces reflect the
outer majesty creating an atmosphere conducive to
contemplation, reflection, and discovery.
Oakwood offers a whole foods cuisine prepared with love that

garden as well as homemade breads and desserts. Vegetarian
and vegan meals are available upon request.
