Slowing Down with a Sweet Treat at Green Door Gourmet

​Join us for a retreat at Green Door Gourmet focused on slowing down during the holiday rush. Together, we will learn how to decorate cookies, taking time to enjoy the sweetness of the season. This retreat will be guided by Abby Hyman.

​What to Expect:

• ​Opportunities for meditation, mindfulness, and reflection

• ​Peer support loosely structed by time in Circle

• ​A workshop on cookie decorating (with cookies to snack on!)

• ​A cozy selection of warm holiday beverages

• ​Opportunity to peruse the Green Door Gourmet market

• ​A farm-fresh lunch

​How to Prepare:

• ​Wear whatever you find most comfortable, being mindful that time may be spent outdoors if you choose to walk the farm grounds. The weather will be chilly.

• ​Bring a book, journal, headphones, puzzle, craft project, or anything else you might like to enjoy during  “me time.”

• ​Clear your calendar. Set an out of office email. Notify those who rely on you that you are retreating and will not be available.

• ​Know that everything is invitational and you are encouraged to engage with the retreat activities in whatever way feels most supportive to you. Take a moment prior to the retreat to assess what you may need to have a restful day.

​This retreat is hosted and funded by The Healing Trust as part of the Healing for the Healer program. To be eligible to attend, you must work at a nonprofit in Middle Tennessee.
