Details of this retreat

6 Days of Learning, Relaxation & Transformation

Join award-winning author and channel Paul Selig for a six-day channeled retreat at Menla, a stunning sanctuary nestled deep within New York’s Catskill Mountains. Experience the Guides’ newest teachings on transforming consciousness and aligning to a higher octave of reality in one of the most beautiful times of the year — peak autumn foliage in the Catskills.

Paul and his Guides will deliver their latest channeled teachings on moving beyond limitation, aligning with higher purpose, and lifting to what they call the Upper Room — the vibrational field of the Divine Self. Through lectures, attunements, empathic work, Q&A sessions, energy transmissions, and group exercises, participants will be led on a journey of self-realization and healing designed to help you move beyond fear, claim your inherent divinity, and shift your reality to a higher state of being.

Surrounded by vibrant fall colors, cascading streams, and forested mountain trails, Menla offers the perfect environment for inner renewal and spiritual expansion. This acclaimed retreat and wellness center, owned by Tibet House US, combines the serenity of a secluded mountain valley with the comfort of modern accommodations and a world-class spa inspired by Tibetan healing traditions.

Guests can enjoy peaceful forest walks, meditation gardens, and quiet moments of reflection among the changing leaves — or indulge in the onsite spa’s saunas, steam rooms, and internationally acclaimed services. Menla’s nourishing vegetarian meals, prepared with organic ingredients (many from their on-site gardens), provide another way to connect body, mind, and spirit throughout the retreat.

While this gathering will offer the opportunity for deep learning and energetic transformation, it’s also a chance to unplug, rest, and connect with fellow seekers from around the world.

Join us for an unforgettable autumn retreat — an opportunity to work closely with Paul and his Guides in one of the most peaceful and spiritually charged settings in North America.

Disappointment with facilities (again)
I have been to Menla several times and I always enjoy the programming, food, and staff. I had a wonderful facial this weekend and a lovely women's retreat. However, the boiler broke in the building where I was staying and was moved to a dorm facility with the bathroom down the hall (not what I had booked). Unfortunately, this was not the first time that there was a problem with the room that I had planned on staying and had to be moved, which leads me to the conclusion that there is not great oversight of the facilities and I now expect there to be a problem coming in.

Wonderful magical place!
This is such an amazing place, there are no words to express how wonderful it is to spend time at Menla. The conference facilities are amazing, the food is incredible, the staff kind and helpful; the cabins are so perfect.

Amazing!
What a tender, clean, wonderful space. One can feel the thoughtfulness and contemplative consideration given to each and every detail. The room felt that it was always mine, like I was coming home to a place I've known well, in that it felt so welcoming and open. Beautiful!
