About this trip

Rest, rejuvenate, connect to beloved community and the rhythms of nature in majestic Lake Tahoe. Nestled right on the eastern shore of Lake Tahoe, Galilee Episcopal Camp and Retreat Center is a beautiful, secluded, waterfront sanctuary. 


Mornings will include gentle or moderate to vigorous Hatha Flow practice, meditation, discussion, and dance. Afternoons will include free time to soak in the serenity of nature, take a dip in the lake or organized excursions to hiking, kayaking, and breathtaking views. Evenings may include meditation, gentle Yoga, and community building. Private and group therapy sessions are available with Tiha Baker to support healing and post traumatic growth. 


Embark on a collaborative journey of freeing our hearts, minds, bodies from limitations of white supremacist, hetero-patriarchal, capitalist conditioning. Explore our shared and diverse experience as Black womxn, celebrate our beauty, and connect to ancestral wisdom.

Satya teaches in a radically inclusive way with a focus on therapeutics, alignment, and preventing injury.

Flo Dabokemp As a movement and health guide, fLO brings awareness to the body and empowers the individual to begin the conversation. Influences of afro-fusion and hip-hop genres are the soundtrack to the movement she teaches. She encourages all to dance freely on the path of exploration to learn more about the self through this expressive and uplifting art form.


“Every day is an opportunity to communicate with our body and prioritize its expressions. If we can actively listen to what it feels, wants and can’t move without— we can develop a healthy and in-sync relationship with ourselves that is, self-love.” - fLO

Multiple expressions of poses are offered as students are encouraged to listen to their own body wisdom and access needs. Satya is deeply grateful for her mentor, Abby Tucker, as well as all of her dharma and movement teachers, Sally Kempton, Rob Preece, and Sianna Sherman. Honoring the traditions of Hatha Yoga, Tantra Yoga, and Tibetan Buddhism, she empowers multiracial, multi-gender, and multigenerational groups to awaken their true nature of awareness and bliss. Off the mat, Satya is active in social justice movements, gardens, and cooks.

Such a wonderful time in community continuing to build on my personal practice and journey towards liberation. Loved the intentional silence and the variety of meditation techniques including chanting/singing, walking meditation, and still meditation. Satya is able to create a space of belonging full of invitations to settle into our own bodies while challenging ourselves too. Thank you for the inclusive space and attention to accessibility!

I had a great experience. I have so much gratitude for Satya, Greg and Andres' ability to cultivate a space where I could be in community, land in my body, and notice what's on my heart and spirit. This was my first silent retreat, and I was feeling a bit nervous. I was grateful to be in space with a largely BIPOC group, and I left feeling a greater connection to myself and to the people around me.
