Join us for a healing and rejuvenating retreat where we will slow down, take time for ourselves and experientially practice techniques to guide you to evolve in mind, body and spirit. We will offer daily yoga, meditation and spiritual coaching workshops to support you to live more in alignment in mind, body and spirit. Our retreat location is at Menla, a hidden oasis set in a secluded valley in the heart of the Catskill mountains surrounded by thousands of acres of unspoiled wilderness. Enjoy Menla’s beautiful Labrynth, Community barn, gardens and amenities. Immerse yourself in the magic of pristine forests, hiking trails, wildlife, and discover a rich tapestry of wellness experiences and activities. Add to your experience with a treatment from their world-class and popular Dewa Spa.

There are planned activities and plenty of free time to relax and decompress. For those who want more solo time to disconnect, that’s up to you. 

Simple, luxurious and elegant - the charming rooms at Menla are relaxing and inspire a zen like and at-home experience in the mountains.

Workshops: Laina Florio will lead workshops designed to support you in living a more inspired, purpose driven life. The theme for this retreat is called “Who Are You Becoming?” designed to support you in in moving forward wherever you are in your life. Why? Because we are relational beings and almost always in transition - whether it is something big, like a relationship, career change, a move, etc, or something more subtle such as you are seeking more peace or self love within yourself. When we do the inner work, our outside worlds begin to evolve. You will be guided to gain more clarity about what you are seeking, what is holding you back, and a path forward to live in a more inspired, purposeful and joyful way. You will be supported and guided in a safe, nurturing space.

Yoga & Meditation: Stacey Hirshmann is a seasoned yoga teacher and educator. Her extensive experience combines a variety of yoga techniques including breath-work, kundalini, meditation, chakra healing and more. Her yoga classes are perfect for a beginner or advanced yogi who wants to explore in a safe and nurturing environment. Stacey's passion resides in proper alignment with powerful breath, flow and mindfulness. She honors the individual and encourages students in their process of self inquiry and self realization. Stacey’s training and expertise also includes Pre-Natal Yoga, Restorative, Yoga Dance, Reiki, Theta Healing, and many more modalities.
