For many, winter in the city can feel daunting. A winter retreat offers the opposite: an escape from the busy-ness of urban life and a return to the healing support only nature provides. Say yes to beginning your year in an environment that is nourishing, supportive, and truly one of a kind. It’s time to do this for you.
A retreat is an invitation to reconnect—with yourself, with nature, with your practice, and with new friends. You won’t need to decide what to eat or how to spend your time—those details are lovingly taken care of so you can simply arrive and be. When that mental space opens up, real nourishment, deep rest, and authentic alignment become possible.
And if the thought of practicing yoga once or twice a day for several days feels intimidating, here’s the best part: you can choose what serves you. Every offering is optional, because this retreat is designed with you at the center.
