Starlight Ridge Retreat Center

Starlight Ridge Retreat Center

A Sanctuary of Renewal and Restoration

Starlight Ridge Retreat Center is a gathering place for relaxation, wellness, healing and bringing balance and harmony to all aspects of our lives. The main building was built with much intention, attention and awareness of being a place of light, inspiration and peace. Hundreds of crystals are imbedded in the building's foundation and walls and a large crystal grid is imbedded in the center of the building's foundation and radiates that energy out throughout the sixty-five acres and beyond. The intention was and is to offer balance, harmony, peace, joy and happiness to all who come.

Opportunities are offered regularly to participate in healing sessions, workshops, events and gatherings. There are a diverse group of teachers and therapy practitioners that offer many, many tools for our own self-healing and self-realization.

We offer assistance in developing a meeting or gathering specifically designed for your group or company. Whether you are looking for a day, weekend, or week-long retreat, we can provide a peaceful, safe environment on our grounds and in the spacious main building.

The main building is over 3,600 square feet inside with a 10 foot wrap-around veranda for that Southern-style ambiance and hospitality. An outdoor kitchen, fireplace and patio sitting area is a wonderful place to gather in the evenings for meals, songs, stories and just plain old fun around the fire.

Starlight Ridge Retreat Center is located near Mayflower in a beautiful rural setting between Little Rock and Conway. Just minutes away from Little Rock on sixty-five acres of beautiful ridge tops and valleys where the stars shine brilliantly and the sunrises and sunsets are majestic.

Ongoing Classes

Kundalini Yoga with Katherine Friday

Mondays 6:30 – 8 p.m.

The word “Kundalini” means awareness and “Yoga” mean to unite. In yogic terms, Kundalini is the latent spiritual energy within every person which can be awakened by the practice of yoga. Kundalini Yoga strengthens your entire nervous and glandular system. It prepares the mind for optimal clarity, enlivens your sense of awareness and gives you greater energy to express your creativity. The practice of Kundalini Yoga can clear the mind, set the immune system, and orient your consciousness to create happiness and health in your life. All exercises, meditations, and mantras are part of an organized sequence designed to produce a specific beneficial effect.

Hatha Yoga with Katherine Friday

Thursdays 6:30 – 8 p.m.

Hatha Yoga is a branch of yoga that came out of a deep respect and interest in the well being of the body, which is considered a sacred vessel for the soul. Hatha Yoga uses postures, breathing techniques and relaxation to help bring the body into a state of health and well being so that more subtle spiritual elements of the mind may freely emerge. Hatha Yoga, when practiced sincerely and with an open heart and mind, will bring about a new unity between the material projection of the body and the non-material soul. The word hatha means sun (ha) and moon (tha). The incoming breath is called ha the sun breath and the outgoing breath is tha the moon breath. Yoga is a system that perfects the body and consciously fills it with life force.
