About your trip

Take time to reflect and connect, away from the hustle of life. Nourish your mind, body, and soul with a retreat surrounded by the beauty of nature at Earthrise Retreat Center.


Feast on some of the best food, stay in lovely accommodations, and explore the surrounding lands and labyrinth. Each morning begins with meditation and mindful yoga, led by an experienced teacher. Learn to create and use a mala, during our afternoon workshop event. Malas are used for keeping count while repeating a mantra during meditation. Experience this meditation as a community. Leave our retreat feeling nourished, recharged, and blissed out.
