Retreat Calendar

A Galentine's Day retreat is the perfect way to celebrate and nurture our femininity, sisterly bonds, and self-care. If you’ve decided to embark on your self-love journey in 2025, this is the experience for you.

Recharge, relax and reconnect with your truest self surrounded by the beautiful nature of Pennsylvania’s mountains. I invite you to open up to a magical winter experience nourishing your body, mind and soul through daily movement, breath work, creating art for self-exploration, nature walks and guided meditations! All that plus enjoying the fresh mountain air while soaking in the hot cedar soaking tubs overlooking the meadow, followed by a heart warming campfire circle. Just the perfect winter wellness you deserve!

Is your daily work rooted in activism, creativity, or helping others? This retreat is designed with you in mind. Teachers, activists, nurses, artists, parents, therapists, caretakers, pastors, social workers, and organizers—those who dedicate their energy to the common good—you are invited to pause and replenish. Take this opportunity to rest, reflect, and recharge through guided conversations, creative expression, and time to wander and unwind.

What does “wellness” mean and, more importantly, what do you need to cultivate well-being in your life? As human beings we are multifaceted and complex but that doesn’t mean our path toward wellness has to be complicated. It means that it needs to be unique to you. Join me for this year’s Spring Retreat, where you will have the space to explore aspects of yourself and your sense of well-being. Through all that is offered, you will be able to discover and nurture parts of yourself that need it most–whether that’s through connection and community, quiet and introspection, movement or stillness, activity or rest. I invite you to show up for yourself–practice yoga and meditation, eat nourishing and delicious food, connect with yourself and others, soak in outdoor hot springs-filled tubs and do a cold plunge in the pond, and wander through or rest in nature. Leave not just restored and rejuvenated but with the knowledge and know-how to bring wellness into your daily life.

Is your daily work rooted in activism, creativity, or helping others? This retreat is designed with you in mind. Step away from life’s noise and into a sacred space to connect deeply with God. The Realignment Retreat is a 3-day, 2-night in-person experience designed to help you refocus, renew, and align every aspect of your life with God’s purpose. After impactful online gatherings, we’re excited to host our first in-person retreat, where transformation becomes tangible.

Specially designed and dedicated to women, our spring Harmony Women’s retreat at River Mountain will offer a nurturing space to cultivate joy, inner peace and connection with self, community and nature. The invitation is to truly pause and be present for ourselves as we enjoy movement classes, forest and meadow walks, healthy meals and star gazing.

River Mountain in Everett PA is a transformative venue where Downtown Yoga will be offering a holistic approach to well-being. Participants are invited to immerse themselves in a nurturing environment where they can explore various practices aimed at promoting mental, emotional, and physical health. From yoga and meditation to nutritious meals and outdoor activities, every aspect of the retreat is carefully designed to support overall wellness. Our workshops offer valuable insights into topics such as stress management, nutrition, and mindfulness, empowering individuals to make informed choices about their health. Therapeutic treatments and spa experiences provide opportunities for relaxation and rejuvenation, while mindfulness practices foster a deeper connection with oneself and the surrounding nature.

If you're ready to exhale, unwind, let down and simply BE- this retreat is for you. Open to all those that work in healthcare these two days allow you to soak up nature and let your pulse slow down.

Remember those carefree days, filled with joy, laughter, play, imagination, adventure, and exploration, way before you took on the responsibilities of adulthood? In our youthful innocence, we pretended to be grown-ups, but never did we include the stress from daily expectations. Now, as women, we are out of balance pulled by family and social obligations, work demands, financial responsibilities, and so-on, until we were on the brink of breaking. It can even seep into our closest relationships! Stress has become a never-ending cycle, and before we know it the busy-ness of life leaves us feeling empty and depleted. Over time we lose our wild-child spirit and we no longer remember how to relax and have fun. The good news is…that young girl is still there, just buried under life’s expectations. This retreat is a weekend to find that spirited girl again and bring her back to life. Imagine a weekend where you could leave your worries behind and give your soul some well-deserved rest. Here you will have the freedom to learn, play, laugh, relax, and explore; inviting this wild-child spirit to reemerge! The Wild-Child retreat offers you the time & space to recharge and refresh your body and your mind giving you space and resources to reconnect and reclaim your spirit. As a group we will come together with activities and conversation to learn more about who you are and what you want. At the end of the day, we gather to celebrate ourselves at happy hour, then enjoy a healthy, delicious dinner. There will be intentional conversation around the campfire (complete with S’Mores) led by your host, empowerment coach, Judy ViaCava.

A community gathering committed to transformation and liberation through the breath.
