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.

Recently, I was lucky enough to attend a retreat at Menla: Embodied Self (Yoga and IFS). The retreat space was serene and stunning. The staff was kind and gracious. The food was healing and delicious! I cannot wait to come back!

Menla

Hi I Love going to Menla, the grounds are beautiful. The staff is nice at the front desk. I ask when 2 people check into a room 2 sets of towels should be supplied in the room. Everytime we have to go and ask for another set and we are paying for two people. Also i get nervous about the food. I am vegan. Things arent marked. The cooks bites my head off when I ask. Last time I was there she literally yelled at me there are chickpeas out there. Chick peas are not enought for a vegan dinner. I pay aloth and you guys have raised the prices. I get axiety about going to eat in your dining hall because of this/. Thank You to make some changes.
