Body, Mind, and Spirit Retreat - September 2025

Take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life and focus on your well-being. Our retreat offers a variety of activities to nourish your body, mind, and spirit. From Hatha Yoga and meditation to locally sourced vegan food, you'll leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. This year's theme is Empathic Living, the practice of fostering deep, genuine connections with others and within ourselves.

We will also be connecting with the nature through walks to river, playing with the rescued cows, stargazing and musical meditation around a bonfire.

Our esteemed guest is a renounced monk with over 50 years of practice - it is a true delight to interact with someone so pure! You will also get personalized time with the monk to ask any questions you have in life.

Convenient transportation options available in 6 strategic East coast and Midwest cities.

Our experienced instructors will guide you through each activity, ensuring that you get the most out of your experience. You'll also have the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and build lasting friendships.
