Experiences
Retreats built for real people.
Two retreat formats, both small-group, both designed so that showing up nervous is completely normal. Come as you are — we'll handle the rest.
Format one
Backpacking + Yoga Retreats
Multi-day trips where you carry what you need, sleep under the sky, and move with intention every morning and evening.
- Small groups, guided the whole way
- Multi-day backpacking and day hiking
- Camping and camp craft
- Daily yoga and recovery sessions
- Outdoor skills: packing, food, footwear, pacing
- Community, shared meals, and campfire evenings
Format two
Camping + Yoga Retreats
Campground-based retreats with a comfortable basecamp. All of the outdoors, none of the pressure of carrying a full pack.
- Accessible, campground-based itinerary
- Guided day hikes at a friendly pace
- Morning and evening yoga
- Campfires and shared meals
- Skills workshops for getting outside on your own
- Community for all experience levels
