Imagine a snowy weekend of hibernation and rejuvenation with none of the work. Restore your body and soul in the serene Sierras with bundled up, snowy days focused on grounding and turning inward. This vice-free retreat is designed to reveal the natural resources available within each one of us. This winter, we are thrilled to drop in with Kelly Root, LMFT and holistic psychotherapist. Kelly will workshop Internal Family Systems with our group, and also discuss integrating psychedelic experiences into therapy. Before our time together, we will pre-read No Bad Parts, to familiarize ourselves with IFS and get on the same wavelength.

Our weekend wellness retreat will include things like daily yoga, steeping in our homemade hot springs (weather permitting), invigorating snowbaths, soundbaths or breathwork, creative playtime and all the outdoor time Mother Nature will allow. The best part might be getting nourished with delicious, high-nutrition meals by Rainbow Lodge's own amazing local chef, Spencer Shapton. ReTREAT with us in the historic Rainbow Lodge. Built in 1869 as a stagecoach stop, this beautiful, creaky old building (and all it's stories) is an adventure in itself!

Check-in is Thursday between 12pm-4pm. (Lunch on your own Thursday)

Check-out is Sunday 11am after brunch..

Nicole and Beverly Jane’s collision course toward yoga destiny happened over an extended playdate with their then kindergarten boys. Both yoga instructors, with a penchant toward non- chalance, the two got along famously. When Nicole moved to Nosara, Costa Rica and started working at Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort, she knew a retreat was in order. And Beverly Jane proved to be the perfect partner. While quite different from the outside, Beverly Jane and Nicole both share the same attitude toward life, love and yoga. They have been told (more than once) that their yin/yang combo, individual teaching styles and unique passion for how and what they teach create a beautiful and cohesive blend. This happy confluence of talent and energy already has and will continue to result in a beautiful, lively, introspective and yes, potentially life altering retreat experience.
