Warm Up From Within – Winter Wellness Weekend
Want to shake up your routine in 2016 or learn how to create a visual or tactile work of art designed to center your focus and calm your attention? Warm Up From Within( WUFW) offers just that opportunity— and more. From belly dance to meditative painting, WUFW invites your mind, heart, and body to playfully explore ways of enhancing your life.
Warm Up From Within is a mind / body / spirit exploration that absorbs the senses, moves the body, and opens the creative spirit in activities that are engaging and complete in the moment, as well as potentially part of a more centered life.
Organizer Lee Edgren, a yoga teacher with a MS degree in Wellness Management from Ball State University’ s Fisher Institute for Wellness and Gerontology, sees personal wellness as an alignment of the heart, mind, and body, rather than as a formulaic adoption of

external rules, even if they are“ good” for us.
“ We know when we are well because we are happy and vital, not because we resemble a magazine photo or grudgingly undertake activities prescribed by authorities. That it is fun and leaves you to decide what promotes your health and happiness, that there are tools for self-exploration, but no preconceived endpoints, and lots of time for contemplation, make this a unique event, as does the price, which is about a third of the cost of yoga retreat weekends, without a compromise in the quality of instruction,” Edgren notes.
This year, WUFW is again partnering with the Brown County YMCA. The Y is offering free access for swimming, sauna, and pickleball throughout the weekend, and a free Tabata class led by DeAnne Weaver at 5:30 on Friday afternoon.
On Friday evening, activities at the park will begin with“ Shake It Like You Own It,” an evening of belly dance( if you are in the room, you must participate!) with Margaret Lion in the Abe Martin Lodge.
The ticketed portion of Warm Up From Within, on Saturday, January 16 and Sunday, January 17, embraces a variety of contemplative practices, from tai chi and yoga to meditative art and healing sound meditation. All people are welcome and all movement classes are accessible to beginners. Of the nine segments in this year’ s retreat, five are led by local residents, with other facilitators coming from Bloomington, Seymour, and Indianapolis.
