Step away from the busyness of everyday life and immerse yourself in a weekend of rest, movement, and connection.

As we gather under the energy of the New Moon, you’ll be invited to slow down, let go of what no longer serves you, and reconnect with what matters most—your breath, your body, nature, and yourself.

Enjoy nourishing yoga practices, guided meditation, wholesome meals, meaningful conversation, and the peaceful beauty of Moon Gate. Whether you come on your own or with a friend, you’ll leave feeling grounded, refreshed, and inspired.
