Serene & Quiet Location
The 100-acre farm offers a series of mountainside pastures bordered by old stone hedgerows. You will find sheep and goats roaming and pastures of sustainably grown vegetables. During your stay, take in the expansive valley and mountain views and explore the fields, hedgerows, and forest. Don’t forget to visit the animals (don’t miss the donkeys!).
Dining
All meals are provided during your stay.
We will enjoy all our meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) together in the large dining area. Guests will have access to fruit, snacks, coffee, tea, and water throughout the day.
Anything you need, just ask your hostesses!
Yoga
Each day, we will practice yoga together in the Event Hall. Classes will be taught for all-levels and will promote groundedness and centering ourselves. Megan will offer an extra yoga play time on Saturday for anyone looking to work on a particular pose or explore their practice.
Activities
Not only will you have quiet time to spend on your own or developing community with your fellow yoga practitioners, we will have a group hike to a serene location to journal and self-reflect. During your stay, guests have access to the entire farm and retreat buildings. Either cozy up to one of the wood-burning fireplaces with a cup of tea and a book, wonder through the pastures, or enjoy a quiet meditation in the lodge.
