Picture this: You wake up to a stunning sunrise over the teal colored still water of Bear Lake. You step out onto the patio to enjoy the morning breeze and a freshly brewed cup of coffee. You enjoy a fulfilling, freshly prepared breakfast and head out for adventure. You spend your day taking in the rugged mountain beauty, beautiful lake, and cute little tourist town, all while attending workshops and breakout sessions curated to give you more wellness, more connection, and more nature.
You spend the afternoon curled up with a book and a cup of tea by the floor to ceiling windows framing the lake, then you head down for a massage or facial with one of our expertly trained therapists.
You compare stories with new friends over a locally crafted delicious dinner, laughing and reveling in the companionship, and then you wind down with a relaxing Yin or Yoga Nidra session before drifting off into restful sleep, knowing you get to do it all again...
Our team has carefully crafted your itinerary for this retreat. We want to make sure you're maximizing what our Nature and Wellness Retreat has to offer, and that you feel relaxed, renewed, and rejuvenated!
