Roslyn, Washington
Come join us for our second retreat in Roslyn, WA, and our only retreat that includes pickleball!
“Roy and Liz are gracious and intuitive teachers and leaders, and both have a joyous energy.”
Theme: Beyond Fear and Angst
As we all know, these are fearful and anxious times on Earth! Are we destined to live in fear and angst, in survival mode, with disregulated nervous systems? We will explore how to regulate the nervous system, face and flow through fear, and get to know our unshakeable true self.
Price includes
Price includes 3 nights beautiful accommodations at the Skyline Lodge in Roslyn, near Cle Elum lake. Your payment also includes all meals (Dinner Thursday through Brunch Sunday), all yoga and meditation classes, guided hikes and walks, hot tub, fireplace, pickleball (and clinic / guidance), and more. (Options: one dinner out, not included, and extra healing options)
Teachers and Hike Guides
Roy Holman and Liz Gross will teach the yoga, lead the hikes and other activities, and even cook the delicious healthy, mostly organic meals. Roy has led over 130 retreats in Washington, Mexico, Guatemala, Hawaii, Bali, and Costa Rica. Liz joined Roy with her gifts in 2015, and co-lead over half of the 130+ retreats. This retreat is suitable for all yoga and hiking levels. Both cook excellent, healthy, tasty meals.
Meals
All meals are included, except for one optional dinner out. Daily healthy, mostly organic breakfasts: usually a wide variety buffet of oatmeal, eggs, granola, cereal, nuts, seeds, nut butters, breads, various milks (diary and non-dairy), fresh fruit, flax, hemp, coffee, tea, and much more. We will make sure all diets are met. Lunches and dinners will be delicious, healthy and variable meals cooked by Liz and Roy.
Please Note: We are happy to take the time to make meals that fit your needs and allergies. However, we ask for NO MALEABLE DIETS. By this we mean, if you request a certain diet, please stick to what you requested. We have had numerous attendees who request certain meals (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, etc.), but when actually at the retreat, after we took considerable time to make their separate meals, they decided to “change their mind” or “just go with the flow” and eat the food intended for the main group. This gives us extra work and also means there is less of the other food for those who did not request special foods. Again, we are happy to fit your needs, but if your request is just a preference–not an actual allergy–consider the extra work we take to make your food and be honest and considerate, thank you!

“TRANSFORMATIVE. This was my first yoga retreat. Hosts Roy and Liz deliver. They ooze kindness and contagious enthusiasm. With humor and a zest for life, Roy is quite the chef and serves up healthy satisfying meals. Liz is a studied healer and empath who takes time to listen. Every participant was involved in their own journey. Supportive concern not egos was the norm. I formed new friendships in healthy ways with shared experience and the enrichment of one on one conversations. If the world is my mirror, I feel beautiful. A warm, goosebump afterglow stays with me. Would I do this again? Absolutely without reservations. Thank you Roy and Liz.”
“Thank you, Roy and Liz, for all you did to make this a wonderful heartfelt retreat. The care and concern you both showed for all of us was very evident. I am so glad I was able to participate in this beautiful Sedona retreat.”
Travel Details
Feel free to arrive at the retreat center anytime after 2pm on Thursday September 9, and we will finish by noon on Sunday. We will send you info on what to bring as we get closer. Basically, you need a yoga mat, hiking stuff, swim suit, pickleball paddle (we have extras), etc. Note: of course you don’t have to do all activities! Pick and choose.
Hike Note: We request that you trust our expertise and experience. We all have different abilities in hiking pace and distance. We try to work it out so everyone gets what they need, but we do have a to honor our commitment to the group. This is a retreat with at least one hike (Friday, weather permitting) and possible a shorter silent meditation walk.
General Sample Itinerary of Trip
At least one daily yoga class (sunrise or sunset), daily meditations or prayer time (guided), healing workshop, one guided hike, pickleball (and clinic and rules for new folks), lake & pool swimming, hot tub, fireplace, and other activities, games, etc. We expect to have about 12-15 max people attend. All classes, hikes, and activities are optional. September is ideal hiking and pickleball weather. Note: we cannot be responsible if forest fires limit some of our hiking or swimming availability.
Note: Please let us know if you already have a room mate you wish to share with. Please note that we will do our best to honor your request for double or triple as we arrange the rooms (probably no single rooms available).
Non-Discrimination Policy
Yoga is about unity and oneness, not divisiveness and polarity. All are welcome on our retreats. We do not discriminate for any reason, including sex, gender, race, age, vaccinated or unvaccinated, masked or unmasked. We trust you to take care of yourself, and to decide first, if this trip is for you, and second, how to take care of yourself. We will do our part to keep everyone safe and honor all our needs, but ultimately, your health is your responsibility. May this retreat be a healing experience for all.
Payment and Refund Policy
For those visiting from afar, we highly recommend trip and travel insurance. In rare cases, we have to cancel trips, and we cannot be responsible to cover lost airfare or other fees. The global uncertainty and change of late (you may have noticed!) is another reason to purchase travel cancelation insurance.
We request a $100 deposit, balance due 30 days prior to trip. Note: Deposit is generally nonrefundable. 3/4 of later payment may be refunded if you cancel > 30 days prior to trip, 1/2 refund if you cancel 15 – 30 days prior to trip (depending on retreat center refund policy), no refund under 15 days prior to trip–unless I can get some money back from hotels and retreat center.
“I’m feeling great. The retreat was a healing experience for me and I also had a wonderful time with a great group of people. You did a superb job of planning and coordinating everything.”
