Join us for a transformative 6-day adventure in rural Vermont, designed for queer men but warmly open to all. In this exclusive retreat, limited to just a dozen guests, we unshackle our shame, release our inhibitions, and dive into the profound spiritual principle of JOY—our very reason for existence. Nestled in the serene beauty of southern Vermont we will expand our potential as spiritual beings, explore the depths of ourselves, and celebrate our humanness while in the embrace of our spiritual siblings. This retreat is a sanctuary where personal discovery, communal connection, ecstatic living, and exploring the natural world converge to create a truly transformative experience.

In this  Silent Meditation, Breathwork and Yoga Retreat, through the practices of meditation, breathwork, yoga asana, yin yoga, pranayama, meditative movement, yoga nidra, breath work, restorative poses, self-inquiry, silence and free time in the natural world we have an opportunity to more clearly see and release the conditioning that does not serve us.  

Held during the peak of Vermont’s Fall foliage season, and Indigenous People’s weekend, Kiera Penpeci (She/They) will host women and non-binary community in an immersion of movement, rest, facilitated dialogue, and authentic joy-seeking.

As awareness increases, we naturally enhance our relationship with our True Self. We will leave the retreat with increased sensitivity to the “Field” Rumi speaks of so that we may bring this awareness into our daily lives, greeting whatever arises in our life more often from our natural state of Being rather than our conditioned egoic mind.

This retreat will be led by Patricia & Surya.

There is nothing quite like Autumn in New England. Along with the visually beautiful performance that Mother Nature displays for us, come many changes we make in our daily lives. During our weekend together, we will honor these changes and welcome them with grace.

Led by Mallory Pfantz & Melanie Walker
