September 12 - September 15
2nd Annual Women’s Yoga and Hiking Retreat
Let’s Circle… & Return to Nature
A time for silence and sisterhood,
meditation and movement,
contemplation and connection.
Join me, September 12th - 15th, for a long-weekend retreat in the Cascade Mountains of Central Washington…
Our 4-day 3-night, Annual Women’s Yoga and Hiking Retreat, will be held this year at Snowgrass Lodge, outside of the Bavarian-styled mountain town of Leavenworth, Washington. Nestled between the Cascade Mountains and the Wenatchee River, Snowgrass Lodge offers us a tranquil setting in which to gather and reconnect; to ourselves, to each other, and to the healing modality inherent in our natural world.
This gathering seeks to offer a space for women to come together to be held in the support of sisterhood. We use an inclusive definition of “woman” and “female” and we welcome trans women, genderqueer women, and non-binary people who are significantly female-identified. Attendees only need to identify as women in a way that’s significant to them. Together we’ll restore over the long weekend with gentle yoga, beautiful accessible day hikes, circle ceremonies, and plenty of time to enjoy hot-tubbing, the river, reading, napping, and reconnecting.

Communal Meals
& Karma Yoga…
Welcome Kitchen guru, Olive Guajardo!!!
In order to keep this weekend retreat as cost effective and accessible as possible, we will not have a private on-site chef. Rather, we will have ‘Meal Prep’ teams of 3 working under the expert tutelage of our Kitchen Guru, Olive Guajardo.
All ingredients for our healthy, hearty, and nourishing menu items will be provided and ample time will be allotted within our schedule for prep and clean-up.
We can consider this an aspect of Karma Yoga, an opportunity to dance, sing, chop, laugh, and work together to be in service of the whole.
***After registration closes I will send out a sign-up sheet where you will be able to choose what team, what day, and what meal you would like to sign up for.
