Four days of yoga, meditation, live music, and deep connection in the Pocono Mountains.
The Retreat
Four Days to Come
Back to Yourself
Over four days, we’ll practice yoga and meditation together, share meals, spend time in nature, and hear live music in the evenings. It’s a chance to slow down and settle in.
Rooted in the Himalayan Tradition, this retreat weaves movement, meditation, live music, and honest conversation. Nothing is forced. Everything is offered. The pace is intentional. There is space to practice, to rest, and to connect with people who are on a similar path.
