Details of this retreat

This retreat is about cultivating awareness across the entire 24-hour cycle.

Rather than focusing solely on inducing lucid dreams, we use meditation, contemplative yoga, nature immersion, kayaking, Yoga Nidra, dream journaling, and mindfulness to cultivate a quality of awareness that naturally has the opportunity to continue into sleep.

Some guests may experience lucid dreams. Others may simply notice richer dreams, greater presence, deeper sleep, or a more vivid experience of waking life. All of these are meaningful outcomes.

Throughout the retreat we use the river as our central metaphor.

Yin-ish is the Greatest Gift

Yin-ish Yoga was the most perfect way to start my day after spending 20 hours on the road in two days! Dara is so gifted at teaching this class!

Thank you

My 3-day silent retreat at Zoetic River was one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences I've ever had. There were moments of discomfort where I desperately missed my phone and the distractions that usually help me avoid sitting with difficult thoughts. But that's exactly where the growth happened.

The team at Zoetic River thought of absolutely everything. Every detail was intentional, my accommodations were beautiful and comfortable, the food was nourishing, and I never felt like I was missing anything. They made the discomfort of silence as comfortable and supported as it could possibly be.

I left feeling rejuvenated, deeply rested, incredibly grateful, and, at times, even euphoric. The experience gave me space to reconnect with myself in a way I didn't realize I needed. If you're willing to lean into the discomfort, the rewards are immeasurable.

I will absolutely be back. Thank you to everyone at Zoetic River for creating such a thoughtful, healing, and unforgettable experience.
