WILDERNESS AWAKENING
A Transformational Retreat in the Catskills
JUNE 25 -28 2027
Step away from the noise of everyday life and into four days of nature, movement, breath, ceremony, and meaningful connection.
Set across 123 acres in the beautiful Catskill Mountains, Wilderness Awakening is an intimate retreat created to give you the space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and return to what matters most.
Through yoga, meditation, breathwork, ceremonial cacao, sound, sacred ritual, time in nature, and deeply restorative practices, you’ll be invited to move inward while experiencing the beauty of being held in community.
Come exactly as you are.
Leave feeling more grounded, connected, and at home within yourself.
THE EXPERIENCE
Wilderness Awakening is more than a weekend away. It is an opportunity to slow down, step outside of your everyday routine, and create space for yourself.
Our days will unfold intentionally, with a balance of guided practices and spacious time to simply rest, explore, connect, and enjoy the land.

Throughout our four days together, you'll experience:
Jivamukti-Inspired Yoga & Movement

Sacred Fire Ceremony
An evening gathering around the fire centered on intention, reflection, release, and renewal.
Nature & Connection
Hiking, fresh air, quiet moments in the forest, shared meals, meaningful conversation, and plenty of time to simply be.
