SUMMARY:Fly Fishing Fundamentals 2026- Beginners I
DESCRIPTION:Once again Shrine Mont has teamed up with Orkney Springs Outfitters to offer an immersive introduction to Fly Fishing weekend course designed to teach students about the intricacies of fly fishing with hands on instruction that covers everything from tying flies and casting to pond and river fishing at the South River for trout. During the 3 day event\, students will start with the basics of casting\, practice on a stocked pond and then hit the river for a day of quality fishing. \nLodging and meals are included in the package.\nAbout the instructor:\n\nDavid Clark learned to tie flies at the age of 12\, selling them to the old anglers at Columbia Fish & Game in Lancaster Pennsylvania. He finally learned to fly fish at the age of 15 with the help of a local fly shop owner. After several trips to New Mexico\, Colorado\, Connecticut\, Pennsylvania\, North Carolina and West Virginia over the next several decades\, David decided to immerse himself in the craft by dedicating 110 days during the 2020-2021 fly fishing season to study many of the fly-fishing destinations here in Virginia and the fly patterns they support. Armed with this knowledge – and private access water – he started Orkney Springs Outfitters for both beginners and advanced practitioners. \nClick HERE for more information about Orkney Springs Outfitters.\nWaders/Boots required\, rods can be rented for $50\nTentative Schedule\nFriday April 17\n \nArrive @ Shrine Mont at noon\, check in\, get settled\nLunch 12:30\nFly rod and reel setup overview 1:45 to 2:45\nFly casting 101: 3:00 to 4:00\nFly tying demo 4:00 to 4:30\nHappy hour 5:00\nDinner 6:00 \nSaturday April 18\nBreakfast 8:00\nFly casting practice at stocked pond 10:00 to 12:00\nLunch 12:00\nFly casting at stocked pond 1:30 to 3:30\nGear check for South River excursion 3:30 to 4:00\nHappy hour 5:00\nDinner 6:00 \nSunday April 19\n \nMeet and eat  breakfast on the go at 8:00 am\nTravel to private South River camp 8:30 to 9:45\nFly fish South River 10:00 to 3:00 with bagged lunch on river\nReturn  to Shrine Mont between 3:15 and 4:30 or depart from South River \n  \n  \n\nRate: $800\nRegistration available through Orkney Springs Outfitters: Order Online | Orkney Springs Outfitters

SUMMARY:Women's Retreat: Centered in the Risen Christ-Steady Hearts in a Burning World
DESCRIPTION:Keynote Speaker: The Rev. Laura Minnich Lockey\n \nThe Rev. Laura Minnich Lockey is a life-long Episcopalian\, raised in a military family\, with church experiences in many dioceses and locations. She loves the Episcopal Church; it is where she learned that she was a beloved child of God\, and where she learned to love Jesus. As her family moved from one station to another in the US and Germany\, and her living environment shifted every 18 months to 2 years\, the Episcopal Church and the language of the liturgy stayed the same. The liturgy speaks deeply to her soul. \nShe holds BSEd and MSEd degrees in Special Education from Southwest Texas State University\, and an M.Div. from Virginia Theological Seminary. In 1992 she married Russell (USCG Retired); they have three adult children. \nIn the midst of these challenging times in our church\, and in our society\, Laura listens well\, and practices collaborative leadership; seeking common vision and understanding is essential. With experience in educational\, parish\, and diocesan systems\, she has a strong understanding of how systems can work well together. The majority of her career has been spent in chaplaincy and small churches; this gives her a unique perspective on committee work. She served on the Standing Committee in the past\, and enjoys that kind of collaborative work. \nWomen’s Retreat Agenda\n\nRates (include 2 night’s lodging\, 6 meals\, and program costs)\nDouble Occupancy: $360.00 per person\nSingle Occupancy: $425.00 per person\nRegister Below:\n\n\n \nForm secured by GivingTools online giving.\n \n\nClick Here to see Shrine Mont’s cancellation policy

DESCRIPTION:Take a break from your busy life with a weekend yoga retreat in the cool beauty of the Shenandoah Valley.  Richmond area instructors Bonnijean Boggess\, Julian Desta and Donna Cushlanis will be leading a variety of all-level yoga classes in indoor and outdoor spaces in and around the historic Shrine Mont Retreat Center located in the quaint town of Orkney Springs\, Virginia.  Take a step back in time to the natural beauty and historic buildings of this hidden gem.  You will have time to explore the grounds\, history and enjoy the wonderful southern menu items offered in family -style dining or take out.  The chefs can accommodate vegan\, vegetarian and other dietary restrictions. \nCLASS DESCRIPTIONS\n* Available to everybody\n** Available to everybody with optional strength modifications\nMore classes may be added depending on number of participants.\n\n*Gentle Zen:  This gentle Yoga practice helps us draw true attention to breath. Gentle twists and elongation of the limbs and the spine will set the perfect setting for relaxation and stillness\, both mentally and physically. This first class will introduce you to yoga lingo and poses. \n**Sun Salutation:  Honor the sun as we coordinate gentle movement with pranayama (breath control) in our morning Sun Salutation practice. Lengthen and awaken your muscles with basic yogic postures with optional strength challenges designed to energize your spirit and prepare us for the coming of a new day.  \n*Soundbath: Expect to hear instruments from around the world\, including several kinds of singing bowls\, pan drum\, Native American flute\, drums\, harps\, and possibly entirely new instruments. The goal as always is a relaxing and insightful sound journey\, or perhaps\, if you need it\, a delightful rest.  \n*Slow & Strong is a class designed to slow your flow and build strength.  We link breath with movement to build heat while clearing out the mind\, vitalizing the body and embracing the soul. The class promotes improved strength\, flexibility\, balance\, and mental focus\, while also releasing tension and fostering a sense of being grounded and a feeling of well-being. The poses will help to eliminate toxins\, reset your mind and have you moving with intention.  Slow & Strong is a class designed for all abilities. \n*Yin Yoga is a class that works on the principles of time\, depth and stillness to heal on a cellular level through our connective tissue\, joints\, fascia and ligaments. In Yin the poses are held for a few minutes to help improve circulation and increase flexibility. This is a class that begs you to take the time for yourself in a caring\, constructive and loving way.  Yin yoga is known to help regulate emotions\, reduce stress and promote a sense of calm. This class is great for those who are new to yoga\, recovering from an injury\, or need to learn how to chill.   \n*Moon Salutation (Goodnight Moon) Close the day by welcoming and honoring the moon in the night sky. This calming sequence of basic postures will help us slow down and prepare our bodies for a restful night’s sleep.  \nWrap It Up Meditation – At the end of our retreat we explore stillness to find our center and reflect on our experience. \n\nMeet the Instructors:\nBONNIJEAN BOGGESS has been leading yoga and other fitness classes in the Richmond area for over 20 years.

SUMMARY:Harvesting the Spirit- A Yoga Weekend
DESCRIPTION:NEED TIME FOR RENEWAL?\n\nThis retreat is an invitation to come home to yourself and to reconnect to the inner “you” through yoga practice. This weekend will focus on slowing down\, breathing and allowing ourselves to harvest our inner spirit and rhythm of our body. Our weekend will include restorative yoga\, healing poses\, expressive movement\, and relaxation time\, hiking and a bonfire. \n\nCome join us at Shrine Mont located in the shadows of the Great North Mountain in the quaint village of Orkney Springs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructors\nJoanne Lind is a 200 hour Yoga Instructor trained in Baptiste Power Yoga\, and also teaches restorative yoga. She is co-owner at Dudley’s 263 House with Pamela White. You will find her yoga style somewhat unique. She is trained in vinyasa yoga and there is a touch of that in her classes. A bit of restorative/yin yoga will be added to each class.

DESCRIPTION:Once again Shrine Mont has teamed up with Orkney Springs Outfitters to offer an immersive introduction to Fly Fishing weekend course designed to teach students about the intricacies of fly fishing with hands on instruction that covers everything from tying flies and casting to pond and river fishing at the South River for trout. During the 3 day event\, students will start with the basics of casting\, practice on a stocked pond and then hit the river for a day of quality fishing. \nLodging and meals are included in the package.\nAbout the instructor:\n\nDavid Clark learned to tie flies at the age of 12\, selling them to the old anglers at Columbia Fish & Game in Lancaster Pennsylvania.
