“Thank you Roy and Liz for the perfect retreat! Just the right combination of adventure and sacred! The yoga, the hiking, the people; this was my best vacation ever.”
Theme: Healing the nervous system
Liz and I (Roy) have been taking a deep dive into healing the nervous system. Of all the areas we have explored over the past 25 years, this feels like the missing link. It is imposible to heal when we are stuck in sympathetic nervous system stress, angst and trauma.
We will share simple but profound tools to balance and retrain the brain, tone the vagus nerve, access emotional and somatic intelligence, and acccess our true self or intelligence at the core. Then we can accomplish our true purpose and be of service.
Price includes
Price includes 3 nights accomodations (See options below), all meals, yoga, meditation and wellness classes, gided hikes and walks, sauna, hot tub. There will also be extra options for brain training (NeurOptimal technology) energy field readings, coaching, and Rapid Release massage for clearing deep blocks and scar tissue.
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 120 retreats in Washington, Mexico, Guatemala, Hawaii, Bali, and Costa Rica. Liz joined Roy with her gifts in 2014, and co-lead about 75 of these retreats. Roy is trained at the 500 hour level in Viniyoga, a breath-connected, body-friendly, heart centered, meditative flow yoga. This retreat is suitable for all yoga and hiking levels. Liz Gross is a yoga teacher and gifted vibrational energy healer. Both cook excellent, healthy, tasty meals.
“I had a wonderful time at the retreat. I enjoyed meeting everyone, the food was delicious, the place was so relaxing, loved the yoga.”
Meals
All meals are included (three a day). 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. We also prepare lunches, and home-cooked delicious dinners.
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” 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.”
“Roy and Liz are great teachers. I truly enjoyed the yoga. the food they made was great. It was nice to feel taken care of. I was looking for a mini vacation close to home for myself to “reboot” with yoga, meditation and hiking, and it was perfect for what I was looking for.”
Key Travel Details
You can fly into Seatac (2+ hours from retreat), or maybe Bellingham (one hour from retreat). We are also happy to try to set you up with car pooling. We will send you a list of what to bring as we get closer.
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. there will be on site trails to explore, and we will include shorter silent meditation walks. We also have one day where we spend more time hiking, with either a stenuous 4 mile round trip up Sauk Mountain (1200 foot gain, views), or 3 mile round trip, fairly flat loop hike at Rockport State Park with beautiful old growth trees. And other options.
General Day by Day Sample Itinerary of Trip
Note: All classes, hikes, activities are optional of course. Rest when you need rest.
We normally start day with a half hour meditation, then yoga class, followed by breakfast. At some poinet we will also have a healing workshop, one longer hike, shorter walks, a sound bath, hot tub, sauna, extra healing options and other activities. We expect to have about 12-15 max people attend.
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 $500 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.
“Incredible, both financially affordable and recharging. Perfect blend of yoga and hiking. I adored all the holistic treatments Liz provided from chakra reading to biofeedback. You will enjoy the ease and guidance of both Liz and Roy. they know their stuff!!”
