Local Retreat
October 17th - 19th 2025

Where Are We Going?

I can not think of a better location to lead these retreats than at The Himalayan Institute in PA. A place that I know well and that many of you know too. The staff and faculty at HI, are just so happy to support these annual seasonal events.

‘Nestled in the rolling hills of the Poconos, the Himalayan Institute’s picturesque 400-acre campus offers breathtaking views, scenic trails, and peaceful spaces for reflection and contemplation. The natural beauty of the landscape is one of the most captivating aspects of the Institute’s Retreat Center experience. Each season offers its own unique display, from brilliant autumn foliage to the quiet, snowy blanket of winter to the richly colored fields and flowers of spring and summer’.

All accommodations are modern and well appointed and costs are fair at the institute for a shared room and 3 wonderful meals a day. Once you have decided if you are going to join me for the fall weekend or the week-long retreat, rooms can be booked according to your preference and by you. If you wish for a room-mate to share with you will be assigned someone else from our group.

Access to the institute campus is easiest by car - so please reach out if you have a car and can offer someone from our group a ride, or if you are happy to car-pool and rent a vehicle, or if you need a lift in order to attend. Visit www.himalayaninstitute.org to explore the campus, grounds and to see all available transport options.

Weekend Retreat
Open For Booking

Imagine walking through trees and wooded landscapes on a crisp and quiet fall morning. As you step into the wilderness, feel stress melt away from your body and mind almost immediately. Scents carried by the breeze guide you along the trails and into the heart of the forest.

Take a deep breath and, in that moment, experience a profound connection to the earth, along with a sense of peace and well-being.

A Yogic Pathway to YES!

For over five years, I have been leading invite-only experiences, and I am thrilled to welcome you to join our warm and dedicated community of city-dwelling yoga practitioners for our cherished fall retreat.

If you’re ready for more than just a weekend away—if you crave a reset, a spark, or a deep dive into what’s next in your life—this retreat is for you.

Whenever I embark on a retreat, whether local or international, my goal is to help you feel young at heart and highly capable. Through three types of activities, we will explore why, when, and how “no” appears in our lives, and how yoga practices can help us move out of our own way to embrace the “yes” that awaits us our future.

A thee point process.

Move: My Hatha-Vinyasa sessions will guide you deeper into your body’s wisdom, bridging strength with fluidity and effort with ease.

Breathe: Through guided conversations and outdoor experiences, you will rediscover a vibrant state of play.

Expand: Feel the magic of community, whether gathered around the fire circle, under the stars, or during shared moments of insight. This retreat fosters connections that last long after the weekend ends.

EAT the most delicious vegetarian meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

EXPLORE the beautiful surroundings of the Himalayan Institutes grounds and campus.

UNPLUG and CONNECT enjoy meaningful conversations and time with our growing sangha.

Arrive on Friday 17th of October at any time between 2pm and 6pm. Leave on Sunday 19th after a relaxing lunch and closing circle.
