Where will we be?

We will be nestled into the Highland Mountains that the Continental Divide passes through. 78 miles from Bozeman or 13 miles from Butte, Montana.

The property is tucked away in nature with trails out the doors to meadows, streams, and mountains. The main lodge is where we’ll eat breakfast & dinner and create intentional conversation & connections together. The lodge has plenty of room to spread out and find nooks for privacy when needed. Out the door we will have mountain meadows, trails, and streams to explore. Yoga and community acupuncture will be held in a covered open-air pavilion.

Time in Nature

June in Montana is magical. Lush, green and full of life humming with sweet sounds of summer. The intention of this retreat is to deeply connect to your innate nature while in the mountains.

During each day there will be plenty of time to relax and connect with yourself, each other, and the land. We will have group mountain bike rides for beginner or intermediate/advanced riders and groups will be encouraged to take hikes together. From the Lodge, we can take in beautiful views of the Tobacco Root Mountains, meadows of wildflowers and explore on easy trails or more technical trails of the CDT.

Freshly made meals, shared together.

We will nourish ourselves with healthy, local & organic (when possible) breakfasts and dinners together. During this time, we will pose topics and questions to inspire thoughtful and profound conversations around how we can better take care of ourselves and our world through creating connection and community. 

Sack lunches will be provided so you can have nutrients to get you through your afternoon activities. Each morning there will be coffee and tea in the main lodge before practice.

Meals will be simple, nutritious, and intended to be fuel and medicine for the body through the retreat. We are happy to accommodate vegetarian, GF, and DF diets, upon request.

We will not have alcohol provided and you are welcome to purchase beer or wine at the main lodge during mealtimes. You can BYO outside of mealtime, with mindfulness and respect to others who may not be consuming.

The retreat will not include any extra snacks. There will be homemade snacks for purchase (on the honor system, anytime) at the main lodge. You are encouraged and welcome to bring anything you need to take care of yourself. Each of the cabins has kitchens and there is refrigerator space in the main lodge for your use.
