About our retreats:
Each day begins with an optional one hour yoga practice specifically sequenced to invite creative expression and quiet the chatter of the mind. This is followed by a nutritious seasonal breakfast prepared by our beloved chef Matt Brill. We then enter 6 hours of quiet in all common areas of the property.
For those who are ready for adventure, we plan several outings such as guided hikes or soaking in local hot springs in the afternoons. Each night after dinner there's the option to share your work if you feel inclined, or just sit by the campfire, maybe listen to some good mountain music.
Our 2026 Writers Retreat will be held in Gardiner, Montana (The Gateway to Yellowstone National Park) at the North Yellowstone Lodge. The nearest airport is Bozeman Yellowstone International, about 75 miles from the retreat space, which offers a breathtaking drive through Paradise Valley.
