Retreats

Take a moment to pause, release the weight of responsibility, connect with yourself, and recharge amid the fast-paced schedule that accompanies the heat of summer.

 

This retreat provides women the indulgent space to be the recipient of the loving care they often dedicate to others but sometimes forget to share with themselves.

 

Turn inward through journaling, meditation, and restorative movement practices to nurture your body, mind, and spirit - perhaps allowing you to release what no longer serves you and align with what feeds your soul.

 

Experience deep rest and relaxation with evening yoga nidra guided meditation sessions. Allow stress to melt away and feel the rejuvenating effects of immersing yourself in the beautiful nature that surrounds you at the Himalayan Institute.

 

There are opportunities built into the schedule to enjoy:

  • Massages and other relaxing spa services at the PureRejuv Wellness Center

  • Tours of the Moka Origins coffee and chocolate factory

  • Hiking on the 400-acre wooded campus

  • Meditation at the Sri Vidya Shrine

  • Daily community yoga classes

  • 24/7 complimentary Tea Lounge

  • Cozy chai party

  • Reading, napping, or quiet free time to yourself

 

My goal is that participants leave the weekend feeling grounded, nourished, empowered, and revitalized in order to return to daily life with a sense of balance and wellbeing.
