Earth . Breath . Sound: A journey through ancient healing arts

This October, we invite you to join us in the Catskill Mountains for Earth, Breath & Sound - a four-day retreat designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and remember the peace that's always been within you.

Held at the beautiful Menla Retreat Center, this immersive experience weaves together the healing wisdom of nature with practices that nourish your body, mind, and spirit, including:

Yoga & Meditation

Breathwork

Sound Healing

Forest Bathing

Qigong & Tai Chi

Meaningful connection, reflection, and time to simply be..

Throughout our time together, we will explore the healing connection between Earth, Breath, and Sound—grounding into the stability of the earth beneath us, awakening the life force through conscious breath, and allowing the soothing vibrations of sound to guide us into profound relaxation and inner balance. Whether you are seeking rest, renewal, or a deeper connection to your practice, this immersive journey offers space to release stress, awaken your senses, and rediscover the harmony that has always existed within.
