Details of this retreat

As the seasons shift and the days find their perfect balance of light and dark, we are invited to do the same within ourselves.

Join us for a soul-nourishing retreat designed to ground your body, steady your heart, and reconnect you to the quiet strength that lives within. Through intentional yoga practices, breathwork, and moments of stillness, you’ll align with the natural rhythms of the Earth and honor this sacred seasonal transition.

Expect grounding movement, deep relaxation, reflective journaling, and supportive community — all set against the backdrop of autumn's golden glow.

Take this time to pause, breathe, and return to your center.

Surrounded by the peaceful beauty of the Catskill Mountains, you’ll be guided to slow down, reconnect, and replenish your spirit. Step away from the busyness of daily life and give yourself the space to embrace balance, nurture inner resilience, and plant seeds of intention for the season ahead.

Weekend retreat stay
The property is on a beautiful, peaceful location.
Nature is all around and sometimes a little too close but you are literally surrounded by woods.

The food was really good and I liked the buffet style and fruit basket.

The gift shop although small had a nice selection of items and I purchased a few fun items.

Since the dining area was on the opposite side of the site from the convention center, a lot of students drove back and forth on the property. I chose the walking paths to get around.

Lovely
I had a fascinating and enlightening experience during an “Energy squared Reiki,” class at Menlo this past week. The grounds, rooms, facilities amenities and spa at Menla were all beautiful, clean, and peaceful. The food was delicious and nourishing. I can say only good things about both Menla and the program I attended, and would wholeheartedly recommend both.
