Everything is energy. To balance our life Is to organize our energy systems as a cycle of proportions. For example: How much do we sleep? How hard do we push ourselves?

The chakras are amazing tools to empower us and peel the layers of issues that may lie physically, mentally, and emotionally in our bodies.

In this Special Retreat we will look at the various areas of our lives — personal, professional, financial — to discover where imbalances lie. From there we will work toward an awareness of how our energy centers can help us address healing and offer insight into creating habits that will allow us to experience life to its full potential.

Sewall House is a magical place. I enrolled in the August 2024 chakra workshop and am so glad that I did. From the yoga to the teachers to the food to the accommodations to the spirit, Sewall House is a retreat like no other. Its location in pristine Maine stole my heart. I can’t wait to return!” –Mary B.

Yoga traditions teach us that our full physical potential lies dormant at the bottom of the spine. To awaken this powerful life gift, yoga offers techniques to unblock and harmonize the energy centers, called Chakras (vortex or wheel). Through these techniques we strengthen the internal organs, nerves and glands associated with each of these areas as we move up the spine.

This Special Retreat will be led by Donna Davidge, the owner of Sewall House. Donna has offered chakra workshops for many years in New York City at the Open Center, as well as at other centers on the East Coast, and at Sewall House.

I had the privilege of being part of Donna’s Chakra workshop at Sewall House in 2024. I entered Donna’s workshop with limited knowledge of the chakras, even though I am a yoga teacher of 23+ years, and left with a far deeper understanding. She presents complex material in an interesting, easily digestible form; in addition, she has written a detailed, comprehensive workbook.

Donna discusses each chakra thoroughly, explaining the location, it’s associated color and characteristics, and goes further by providing fascinating case studies of people (many are her students of many years) and how their experiences relate to the chakras. The stories are moving, relatable and help break down complicated concepts into simpler formats. I came away with a far more in-depth understanding of the chakras, and most importantly, a desire to utilize them moving forward. In fact, the very next week back in NYC, I taught my first chakra class!

I highly recommend Donna’s chakra workshop to anyone who loves learning, who is curious, and wants a greater awareness of the human body and the human heart.” –Ellen S.

Here is what students wrote about the course:

“I am transformed. When I woke up this morning, I noticed a glow in my face. I endeavor to hold onto that glow. Thank you from every cell in my body for a beautiful stay. You have created a soul home like no other. I look forward to my next visit to Sewall House.” –Chakras student

“What I want to thank you for is the way you introduced me to my own Chakras. I knew about them, theoretically, yet your … course allowed me to ‘meet’ my chakras and open them up to the flow of universal energy through them.” –Chakras student
