Danielle, Genevieve & Rose are beyond thrilled to return to the Bear Mountain Inn in Waterford, Maine—a serene escape set on 25 stunning lakefront acres, where time slows down, distractions fade, and the journey inward begins.

This special long weekend is designed to help you reset before the holiday craziness, grounding yourself in clarity, balance, and intention so you can move into the season feeling truly connected and at peace.

What is Pratyahara?

Pratyahara, often called the "withdrawal of the senses," is one of the eight limbs of yoga. 

It is the practice of turning inward, creating space to quiet the noise of the outside world and cultivate deep self-awareness, emotional balance, and mental clarity.

Through this retreat, we will embrace stillness, presence, and renewal, allowing you to rediscover your inner strength to return home feeling lighter, refreshed, and inspired.

Bear Mountain Inn offers beautifully renovated, thoughtfully curated guest rooms and suites. Nestled on 25 acres of scenic beauty, this inviting haven provides the perfect backdrop for rest, reflection, and exploration.

Retreat participants will find themselves immersed in the tranquility of the property—whether walking through peaceful trails, savoring the warmth of a crackling fire or simply enjoying the intimate, rustic elegance of their accommodations. 

Guests have full access to the outdoor hot tub & sauna (new in 2026!). Spa appointments in the on-site Massage Cottage can be made throughout the weekend.

At Bear Mountain Inn, every detail has been crafted to inspire relaxation and connection to both nature and self.

All deposits and payments toward this trip are final. 

Please reach out to us directly with any questions or concerns. We are so excited to welcome you to this incredible venue and share this practice together!
