Imagine rising amongst the blue sky in Green Mountain Falls to begin your day with the intention of nourishment, restoration, rejuvenation, balance, joyful ease and presence. You will be surrounded by nature: the trees, the mountains, the sun, the moon, the stars in the night sky, the mountain stream (along with access to an outdoor fire pit, large deck and outdoor hot tub...) With the trees and earth grounding you, along with the green mountain scenery and spacious blue skies above, this is a special place to arrive to. Nourishing organic meals will be offered lovingly to you and sharing space at meal times will give opportunity for mindfulness, connection, laughter, kindness and community while you eat. There will be free time to explore or relax, whatever you wish to create for your time: an adventure/hike nearby, or relaxation on the deck or soaking in the hot tub, or maybe simply cozy up and read a book or journal on the couch. In the evenings, instead of having to drive anywhere, simply stay connected to the present moment, grounded into your ease and release, and take a short walk back to your room inside the retreat house, (following your nourishing restorative session—-a “Dr. Kelly special.”) Wonderfully relaxed, invite yourself into a deep sleep under the star-filled night for healing in all realms of mind body and spirit (and the potential to recover from any chronic debilitating stress/imbalances/tension/pain/adrenal fatigue/burnout/etc.,.) Post-slumber, awaken to a new day and begin again... offering your self space and awareness for NOURISHMENT... for revivifying your own elements of nature, and balance between earth, water and air... all while in this natural landscape with an amazing group of people, on this one of a kind restorative and nourishing retreat. All this space and time, presence and awareness a gift: to NOURISH your heart and soul.
Join us for this three night Yoga Wellness Retreat
This retreat is geared toward any and all yoga enthusiasts (experienced and beginner practitioners are all welcome!)
We will gather daily for a morning yoga practice, integrated with: meditation, community, themed discussion/journaling on the various elements of earth, water and air... (and associated chakras) and how to invite balance of each to support our overall wellness, alignment and deep nourishment of heart and soul, and sourcing of essence...
Additionally, there will be evening restoration/relaxation sessions offered, as well as opportunities for outdoor time/hiking/hot tub soaking/etc.,
A Full Moon Circle/Ritual will be offered on the final night of your retreat, to foster potential transformation, and offer introspection, and an opportunity to release and let go of what is (no longer serving us and) blocking our own nourishment. For this particular time, the Scorpio Full Moon will be illuminating all parts of us, offering us the connection to the nourishing water element and potential for transformation, (as well as the balancing influence of grounding from the sun in the nourishing sign of Taurus.) Nature abound, we will hold space in circle, for moments shared together, of gratitude, joy, compassion, love and discovery... all with intention to nourish the heart & soul, and let go of what blocks that essential nourishment and self-care...

More specifically it is strongly recommended that your policy include a “cancel for any reason” option. Please note, that this type of TRAVEL INSURANCE is usually required to be bought within 1 or 2 weeks of your INITIAL payment of retreat (such as the $500 deposit or a flight purchase, whichever payment comes first.

In the rare event of a cancellation by Dr. Kelly Moyaert due to dangerous weather, political unrest, acts of God and other force majeure events, any refund provided will depend upon Dr. Kelly Moyaert receiving a refund from the venue. Dr. Kelly Moyaert cannot compensate participants for airfare, hotel and travel costs incurred.
To cover these risks, and safeguard your own investment, again, it is required that all participants purchase travel insurance for their own protection, and specifically is highly recommended that your policy include a “cancel for any reason” option (as a precautionary measure to prevent any individual loss in the rare chance of cancellation.)
**If any payment is not received by the participant prior to or on the due date for that payment, Dr. Kelly Moyaert has the right to cancel the participant‘s registration for that retreat. In this case no refund will be provided.
Dr. Kelly Moyaert reserves the right to refuse or cancel any participant’s registration for any reason. In this case, a full refund will be provided.

"I have to say, that the Yoga retreat was a little miracle for me. It was eye-opening how out of touch I have been with my core and center. Lots going on in the brain, not so much checking in with the heart / minds-eye these past years. Thank you so much for the opportunity and for creating such a safe space for discovery. I'm pumped; but I'm also giving myself time for it all to work its way into the chaos and complication of life! Slowly but surely.
Last week I had the experience of not taking my sleeping meds three nights in a row and sinking into a peaceful sleep, and that is unheard of for me in recent times. So I'm motivated to keep working on more holistic ways to address my anxiety/stress. I read your professional bio and I think you are a really good fit for me, especially with the areas you are now making a focus of your practice.
I'm overjoyed! Very grateful for this new connection, on a professional and personal level.
p.s. -- Several people were very envious of my retreat experience and I bet you will get some joiners based on word of mouth of this group. I hope it's something that I will be able to attend as well, so keep me in the loop!"

I came to Kelly three months ago not knowing exactly what to expect. I felt like I was at a
critical moment in my healing process – I was ready to move on from my childhood woundings,
but I felt stuck, and I felt that my stuckness was in part tied to having been in trauma for so
much of my life that my body didn’t know how to relax into a restful state. I found Kelly’s bio in
a systematic search of naturopathic physicians in Seattle, and I just felt safe reading her words;
the way that she described bodies and wellness invited me to see myself as whole and her as
partner, which was such a different (and healing) experience than I’ve encountered in my
lifetime of regular interactions with healthcare professionals. And meeting her – and then
working with her – has brought that safe and healing experience full circle, into my body.
Kelly’s capacity to hold space for my whole self, to be with my body and invite it into deeper
healing, and to support its restoration to balance with her intuitive bodywork and her
compassionate presence, and her consistent affirmation that my body is whole and has
everything it needs to be healed…it’s changed my life. I not only feel better than I have in
years, I am moving out of the trauma and survival mindset that has permeated my life for as
long as I can remember, and acting in ways that are brave and grounded and peaceful and true.
I cannot recommend Kelly highly enough.

Dr. Kelly Moyaert’s approach is very personal and life-changing. Now I sleep through the night, no longer have afternoon crashes and have much improved energy. Her thoughtful care includes leading me through a therapeutic way of eating that is healing me from the inside out. Above all, she makes me feel as if she’s always by my side, encouraging me that I can do this and it will get better.
