Sacred Retreats

“Thank you so very much for a fun, relaxing & exercise filled weekend! Loved visiting with all of you & loved the most yummy food! Incredible break for the soul! Love to do it again.”

Jeanine, WA State

RETREATS & DATES LISTED BELOW

Our wellness journeys generally include breath-connected sacred yoga, meditation, prayer, hiking & healing, with the goal to break destructive patterns, heal, awaken, deepen our Divine bond, renew our mind, purify the heart, and clear the body-temple.

NOTE: We do NOT discriminate based on sex, race, age, etc. Some feel there are two sexes, and some feel there are many or non-gender. May we all get along! Everyone is free to honor pronoun and identity requests or not, according to their own truth. There are now reportedly 82 pronouns and rising; remembering each other’s names is hard enough on retreat! We strive to create a non-divisive, focused and healing environment.

Registration Form for all Retreats

We offer balanced wellness retreats, with sacred “inner” exploration, as well as wonderful “outer” activities and adventure.  We ask for no alcohol at the retreat centers, although there are often off-site opportunities for moderate consumption. We also please ask that we modify our electronic usage during the retreat, such as no cell phones at the table during meals. 

 

Travel insurance recommended for these changing times. Please note that we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who we feel does not fit in a group activity.

“Thank you for the comfortable environment you created and for not taking yourself too seriously. Your sense of humor and style kept everything light and made me feel free to try things and not push myself beyond what I felt I could do.

Bonnie, Whidbey Retreat

What an amazing, life changing retreat.  I’m trying to hang on to all the wonderful vibes, as I’m not sure I’ve been that relaxed and happy in a long time.

I am changed and my life has significantly changed. The Bali trip and the processes I went through during that trip really freed me up to make the changes I needed to in my life.
