About this Retreat: Tracy and Terilyn welcome you to join them for their Annual Winter Retreat, a magical weekend of nourishing yoga and deep inner exploration. This retreat will revolve around the setting of inspiring and lasting intentions as we cultivate and refine our understanding of Sankalpa.
Winter is the ideal time of year to take pause, to turn inward and reflect on what seeds of intention we’d like to germinate in the seasons ahead, while also identifying and weeding out whatever blocks new growth. How often do we find ourselves creating New Year’s resolutions only to have our best intentions thwarted by old ingrained patterns of behavior? This weekend will be dedicated to uncovering our true Sankalpa — a resolve that resonates deeply with our inner wisdom and serves our highest potential — and finding realistic and practical ways to manifest Sankalpa in daily life.
Dates: January 11th–13th, 2019
Instructors: Tracy Hodgeman & Terilyn Wyre.
Cost: $415–$800
About this Retreat: The theme or focus for this hiking meditation day will be “Seeing the beauty and perfection in everything.” Another way of putting it is, “nothing is wrong” (except the mind will argue this!).

Cost: $45
About this Retreat: Chanting, toning, singing, and music have formed the very basis of all spiritual and religious practices throughout time. From the pagan to the fundamentalist and every soul seeker in between, all use sound to connect to themselves and their god.
Yoga, which can be traced back as the foundation for all spiritual practices, is essentially a practice rooted in the technology of sound. Looking back at the ancient texts, Yoga is not described in terms of postures or breathing techniques or even meditation, but as a practice of mantra and sound.
This deep rooted relationship between sound and consciousness is the basis for all forms of Yoga. All authentic Yoga practices begin and end with sound: Namaste, Om, Shanti Shanti. Indeed it is through sound that the transformation of consciousness occurs, which remember, is the very purpose of yoga.
So join Joel Benjamin for an immersion into the Yoga of Sound, sonic yogis! Over the course of four days we will chant, tone, move, breath, eat great food, and chant some more, as they explore how to better harmonize with ourselves, each other, and the planet and universe. This special retreat will raise your personal vibration and reverberate in the mind and body.
Dates: February 14th-17th, 2019
Instructor: Joel Benjamin
Cost: $300

About this Retreat: This weekend we will celebrate the brightest light of the year.

About this Retreat: This year’s retreat theme will be “Less is More”. Humanity is moving very fast, doing too much, forcing and struggling. This weekend there will be plenty of “doing”, but we will slow things down, breathe fully, and question the idea that more and faster is better or more satisfying. Perhaps, like hamsters on the wheel, we are moving faster, growing tired, and not really getting where we think we want to go.
Dates: August 30th–September 2nd, 2019
Instructors: Roy Holman & Liz Gross
Cost: $495
About this Retreat: Wherever you are in the spiral of your life, if you still find ways to judge it as “less than perfect,” you are denying yourself permission to be exactly who you are as you are. The enemy of the ego is unconditional acceptance, a state of no judgment, of unconditional love for all that it is and all that is not.
In this ceremonial retreat we will use ancient practices such as movement, stillness, sweat lodges, breath work, storytelling, silence, oracle journeys and art. Together, in oneness, we will spiral from one moment to the next and create a crucible for embodied intention, healing and transformation.
Dates: September 20th–22nd, 2019
Instructors: Cosetta Romani
Cost: $580-$630

About this Retreat: New Year’s Eve is a truly special moment to go inward and get quiet. The transition of one year to the next brings an opportunity to heighten our awareness and create strong openings, life shifts and plant deep-rooted intentions. When we take the time to listen deeply and attentively, we open ourselves to profound insights and a chance to change the consciousness of the world, starting with ourselves.
Shift your relationship to the next year of your life by quieting your mind, rejuvenating your body and opening your heart. The Hridaya Silent Meditation Retreat is five days of noble silence, allowing you to drop the everyday acts of doing and sink into just being.
Is life calling you to slow down? Are you moving too fast to actually experience your life? Are you ready for deep transformation but something is holding you back (like not knowing how or being afraid of what will happen?)
Then you’re ready for a meditation retreat – a silent meditation retreat.
Ah! Silent? Like not talking? That’s scary. I can’t imagine being silent for any length of time. I can’t even sit still for a few minutes without finding a distraction.
Right – which is why you feel so wound up. It takes time to slow down and learn how to let go – of your past, of your worries, of what the future might look like if you don’t have it all figured out. You’re not alone. You’re one of millions of people Google searching how to let go of their worries and how to be more present and accepting.
A silent retreat is a kickstart to deep transformation, to slowing down and to learning how to enjoy every minute of life.
A silent retreat is for anyone who’s craving time to themselves, an inner transformation, and to experience what meditation can bring to their life. It sets you up for a disciplined personal practice and a road map to letting go.
Dates: December 28th, 2019–January 1st, 2020
