Some of our 2019 participants taking in the beauty of Yellowstone Lake.

About Our Retreat:

Each day begins with an optional yoga practice specifically sequenced to invite creative expression and quiet the chatter of the mind.  This is followed by nutritious seasonal breakfasts prepared by our chef Matt Brill formerly of New York's Esme, a delicious eatery in Brooklyn.  We then enter 6 hours of silence in all common areas of the property.  Perhaps one day you choose to work on the large deck, contemplating views of Dome Mountain or the Yellowstone River; another day, you wander over and write in the apple orchard, or in the privacy of your room.

For those who are ready for adventure, we offer optional daily excursions (guided hikes, touring Yellowstone, hot springs soaks).  Each night after dinner there's the option to share your work if you feel inclined, or just sit by the campfire listening to some good mountain music.

What we offer:

• 6 hours of silence/day 

• 3 beautifully prepared meals per day from chef Matt Brill

• optional morning yoga practice with Kendra Potter (beginner to advanced levels welcome)

• tour of Yellowstone National Park
