Ohhh this is going to be a special one. Are you ready to step into a space of sanctuary, exhale the pressures of daily life, and fill up your soul? Join us for the best weekend of the fall in Vermont!


One morning this past March, I hopped in the car after a two-foot snowstorm. I traveled through a winter wonderland to Springfield, Vermont to visit Wild Trails Farm. I had come across it while researching new (to me) retreat centers, and felt immediately drawn to this Green Mountain State gem. Well, sure enough I could feel its magic the very moment I arrived.

 

This is such a special place. Just 2.5 hours north of Boston, Wild Trails consists of a modern and luxurious lodge (solar and geo-thermal powered), brand new yoga studio (we will be one of the first groups to use it!), and over 12 miles of trails for hiking and biking right at our doorstep. The retreat is easy to get to, but you will feel a million miles away from the day to day when you gaze out at the mountain views.

Inside the spacious lodge you will find a lovely dining space, multiple common areas for community and quiet time, six spacious bedrooms and many bathrooms throughout. Plus - a fire-pit and sauna! There will be a maximum of just 11 spots on this retreat and we will have the whole property to ourselves. It is going to be so personal, relaxed, and comfortable!

​

Wild Trails, a longtime private residence, has just recently opened its doors to retreat groups. With a 2023 mention in the Boston Globe and all the delights this space offers, this gem will sparkle far and wide! Let's blaze this yogi trail and gather together for a weekend to cherish long after the closing circle. 

​

THE DETAILS:


On Friday, we will check in at 4:00 pm. Our first class will be around 5:00, followed by a super special welcome dinner catered by Flavors of our Travels, who create organic from-scratch cuisine that is not to be missed. Wait until you see what they are cooking up for us!


Saturday will begin with optional early morning meditation, a continental breakfast and then an active yoga practice to leave you feeling ready for the day. Next up: explore! Maybe you'd like to head out on the trails, take a short drive to one of several sweet nearby towns, or simply chill and relax. Retreaters will do lunch on their own that day in order to maximize the flexibility of your free time - you might choose to get something to eat while out and about, or bring food from home which you can store in your fridge (each room has one).

 

We will enjoy a gentle / restorative practice later on Saturday afternoon, followed by dinner by Yogaway fave Chef Farless (yay!) and time for some light-hearted FUN by the fire (or cozied up inside in the case of rain).

​

On Sunday, we will have one extended morning practice - designed to celebrate and honor the transition to fall. Get ready to shake things up, shake things out, and welcome this natural time of release in a way that inspires your soul. Breakfast will follow (pre-practice snacks will be available for those who want a little something before hitting the mat), and we will check out in the late morning.

​

All Yoga classes will be led in an accessible manner that is welcoming to those with all levels of experience, including beginners to the practice. All food will be vegetarian, and dietary restrictions can be accommodated with notice.
