Anyone in the Louisville, KY area that would like to get together for a Saturday or Sunday? Maybe, late summer? We could do a one day retreat mode AYP practices and hike. I'm not a yoga teacher, just another practitioner. Respond here or email me.

Hi American Baba,
I edited the post. It's the Louisville, Ky area.

I'm in the Louisville, Ky area.
Nice to know others interested in AYP are around.

Great! I like the Bernheim forest. I'm newer to the area and open to suggestion. I'll be checking out the Frank O' Bannon woods in the next two weeks.
The Bernheim forest is open 9-5, $5 dollars on the weekend. I was thinking about staying outside the whole day. Costs would be very low.

I, too, am in the area. We should definitely make this happen!

We are neighbors! Who knew?
Like I said, I'm certainly open to suggests. I like outdoor cheap stuff.

cshall72,
If you are at all interested, you can post here. I can email you if you would like. I think you need a certain number of posts to email another member. I've got enough.

I am very surprised! Based on a past retreat, I didn?t think there was anyone else in this area. Things obviously change. The only thing that would be more surprising to me would be if I already know one of you guys. (I?m in Louisville frequently).
In regard to other local outside locations, one possibility might be a state park. The grounds are generally pretty spacious, there are plenty of hiking trails, restaurant with buffet if desired (although that might not be conducive to a retreat) and no admission fee. There are a lot of them around. That?s just one idea; I will give it some more thought?

I have been to Spring Mills State Park and the Red River Gorge, both kind of far. I will visit Frank O'Bannon. There's a park in Charlestown, IN that I just heard about.
I've been to both waterfront parks(KY and IN), Cherokee park, Haywoods Nature Preserve and the Bernheim forest.
Edit: I forgot Mt St Francis. I've been there more times than the others.

Sounds like there are going to be plenty of options for selecting a site. I haven?t been to most of these locations. With so many options perhaps it would be good to begin thinking about what we do/not want in an outdoor retreat setting.

I totally read this as "one possibility might be a skate park"... and I was pretty much on my way to the airport.
Love,

Carson, you should do this at your skate park.
Got any tips? I'd like to do something more or less outdoors, so it would cost effective, simple, just a gathering, no "leader". I would hate to leave someone out that could be reading this in my area but can't hike. Know what I mean?

Yes, I am interested.
As far as when and where, I'm quite flexible as I live in the area. Bernheim sounds best of the top of my head though.
So what ever works out best for all involved.
You're more than welcome to email directly.

I like it, too. I checked some of the rental spaces, but they'd be outrageous for a small group for one day. It's cheaper for non-profit( but still high priced). Are we non-profit?

I would think so.
Would we really want to rent a spot for what may just be two to three people?

No, we would not. I just looked, and it was outrageous in my mind. I will email you and American Baba some possible dates. Anyone else in the area is free to give input.

I?ve been out of town but drove through Bernheim on my way back to the area. I saw areas that look conducive to sitting under trees for shade but there might be additional areas further from the road that would be even better. On the other hand, although we might risk getting hit by a skateboard if we went to an actual skate park, it would be awesome to see Carson again! I hope all is well my friend!

It'd be great to see you again too America Baba! I could get you guys to all line up at the bottom of a staircase and practice doing backside heelflips over y'all... after we meditate of course.
And yes, I did say "y'all".... been practicing my 'Merican.

Carson,
I do have a Chester Cheetah skateboard from the '80's. I do like the meditation/skateboarding idea. Maybe not this year, but it would be great to meet you in person.

Okay. Sept. 11th, 2016 at the Bernheim Forest, Clermont, KY. If you can see this and are a newer member, post here if you are at all interested. I will read it and send you an email. More details to come.

This Sunday! We will meet at the visitors center Bernheim Forest at 9:30am. Meet and greet for a few minutes. It's a loose schedule aiming for 2 morning practices that stay near the water. Eat lunch then move towards the forest for light hiking and another practice session.
Thing to know:
It will be $5 to enter.
You need to bring water and a packed lunch.
Forest roads close at 4pm, so we need to clear out before then (around 3:30pm leaving time).
If you are new here and are reading this with interest, you need to post in this thread, so I can email you.

Many thanks to Lalow33 for organizing the KY get-together! Although it was small (just the two of us) it was inspirational to again connect in-person with another AYPer and share both practices and experiences. It felt much like meeting with an old friend. We couldn?t have asked for better weather and Bernheim was both a beautiful and grounding location. I only wish that some of the other (at least relatively) local folks would have been able to be there to experience it as well; it was certainly time well spent.

Yes, it was a nice day. I told the person at the gate that I was there to hike and do yoga. He happened to have just taken his first yoga class the day before, so he was excited to tell me about it.
We were in a public place, so we just went with the flow. My practice times are shorter, so I had some time to notice the people near us. They were very respectful, lowering their voices near us during our practice.
American baba is like an old friend, just like he said. We could have spent the whole day talking. It was so nice to meet him and practice in such a beautiful space.

Okay. Email me. Let's come up with something. I kinda want to do your yoga class even though I'd be ancient in the class.
