Zoetic River exists to make silent retreat accessible to everyone.
For me, silent retreat has been the single most powerful practice in the meditation toolbox. It fundamentally changed my relationship with my mind and continues to deepen my practice whenever I return to silence. Yet many of the retreats that shaped my path were inaccessible to many people.
We created Zoetic River to change that.
Our retreats are non-denominational and designed for beginners. You don’t need years of meditation experience, special knowledge, or any particular belief system—only a willingness to slow down, become quiet, and pay attention.
Our mission is simple: to create a beautiful, welcoming place where anyone can step away from the noise of daily life and experience the restorative power of silence.
Wholesome, chef-prepared vegetarian meals with vegan and gluten-free options, thoughtfully crafted to nourish your body and support your retreat experience.

Kundalini Reset
Kundalini is a practice I began more than two decades ago, and after a break, it was time to come back to it. Kelly’s class has been exactly what I needed—so deeply supportive; each class perfect for the moment, “right practice at the right time.”
Thank you, Zoetics, for bringing Kundalini back to the valley. I’m really grateful to be able to return to this practice in such a meaningful way.

Yin-ish is the Greatest Gift
Yin-ish Yoga was the most perfect way to start my day after spending 20 hours on the road in two days! Dara is so gifted at teaching this class!

Thank you
My 3-day silent retreat at Zoetic River was one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences I've ever had. There were moments of discomfort where I desperately missed my phone and the distractions that usually help me avoid sitting with difficult thoughts. But that's exactly where the growth happened.
The team at Zoetic River thought of absolutely everything. Every detail was intentional, my accommodations were beautiful and comfortable, the food was nourishing, and I never felt like I was missing anything. They made the discomfort of silence as comfortable and supported as it could possibly be.
I left feeling rejuvenated, deeply rested, incredibly grateful, and, at times, even euphoric. The experience gave me space to reconnect with myself in a way I didn't realize I needed. If you're willing to lean into the discomfort, the rewards are immeasurable.
I will absolutely be back. Thank you to everyone at Zoetic River for creating such a thoughtful, healing, and unforgettable experience.
