2025 Spring Retreat: Awakening to Wellness — A Journey of Movement, Breath, Meditation & Nature

In spring the world is born anew. By connecting to the rhythms and patterns of nature, we step into our own well-being. Join us for our Spring Wellness Retreat (April 09-13), “Transforming Life and Health Through Nature, Movement, Breath and Meditation”, an invitation to bring awareness into the patterns of our daily life for reflection, renewal and transformation.

Over these rejuvenating four days, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche and special guests Tawni Tidwell, Dr. Danny Lewin and Nick Polizzi will share ancient methods alongside modern research and scientific findings focused on spiritual, mental and physical well-being. This retreat is designed to help you uncover your inner source of well-being and transcend self-imposed limits, empowering you to engage with life in creative, inspired, and joyful ways. We will explore techniques to release stress, decrease anxiety, rebalance energy, deepen inner peace, and reconnect to ourselves and the world. Be empowered to make healthier choices that bolster your wellness on every level! 

The retreat, held at Serenity Ridge and online via Zoom*, is highly interactive and participatory. With meditative techniques to enhance our wellbeing and self-awareness, restoring, energizing and healing our whole being through nature, and exploring ways to use sleep, food and self-care to enhance our quality of life and our overall health, this event is intended for everyone, whether you have experience in meditation and wellness or are just beginning your journey!
