Wellness and Mindful Moments at Maryville Retreat Center
As the days grow longer and nature bursts into full bloom, spring gently gives way to summer—a season of energy, growth and renewal. At Maryville Retreat Center, we invite you to align with the rhythm of the seasons by nurturing your whole self: body, mind and spirit. Below are a few simple, intentional ways to embrace wellness during this vibrant time of year, whether you’re visiting Maryville or creating mindful moments at home:
Move with the Season
Let the outdoors inspire your movement. Take a walk beneath the trees, stretch on the grass or try outdoor yoga. Gentle activity in the fresh air invigorates your body and uplifts your mood.
Savor the Season’s Bounty
Nourish yourself with fresh, seasonal foods. Crisp greens, berries and hydrating fruits help fuel your body, boost immunity and celebrate the abundance of summer’s harvest.
Sleep Under the Stars (or Just Like You Did as a Kid)
With the sun rising earlier and setting later, it’s easy to lose track of restful rhythms. Prioritize sleep with calming evening routines, soft lighting and gentle wind-down practices.
Breathe in the Season
Step outside and take a few slow, deep breaths. Feel the warmth of the sun, listen to the sounds of birds or rustling leaves and allow your breath to anchor you in the present.
Stay Cool and Hydrated
Warmer weather calls for extra hydration. Refresh your body with water, infused with herbs or citrus and listen to your body’s needs as the temperature rises.
Soak in the Beauty of Creation
Take time each day to notice the beauty around you—flowers in bloom, fireflies at dusk, the peaceful shimmer of Lake Elliott. Connecting with nature helps quiet the mind and restore the spirit.
At Maryville Retreat Center, wellness is a sacred journey—one that grows alongside the seasons. Whether you join us for a summer retreat or create space at home for mindful practices, we invite you to care for yourself with love, intention, and gratitude.
