About this Retreat

Your Guides

Details of this retreat

This isn’t a retreat where every minute is planned for you. It’s a retreat where you decide what your day needs.

We’ve created a generous schedule filled with opportunities to move, create, explore, rest, and reconnect—but every activity is completely optional. Join every session, skip half of them, spend an afternoon floating in the river, or disappear into a hammock with a book. There is no right way to experience the weekend.

Begin your mornings with meditation and yoga, then spend the rest of your day creating, exploring, resting, or simply following your curiosity.

You might find yourself:

* Practicing yoga overlooking the beautiful Blanco River—or, if you’re feeling adventurous, taking your practice onto a stand-up paddleboard.
* Walking mindfully through the crystal-clear, spring-fed river, letting each step become a meditation.
* Joining the signature Zoetic River Hike, where we traverse the length of the property—and a little beyond—by kayak, swimming, and walking through the river to breathtaking views hidden just around the bend.
* Snorkeling in the clear spring-fed waters.
* Floating beside schools of friendly fish in the shallow pools.
* Exploring hidden corners of the river by kayak.
* Sitting beneath towering cypress trees, watching their ancient roots disappear into the water.
* Creating art in our open studio alongside guest artists.
* Resting in a yoga hammock or traditional hammock in the Sky Garden.
* Wandering 23 acres of forests, meadows, and riverbank.
* Watching the birds in our Songbird Sanctuary.
* Spending time with our sweet herd of miniature goats.
* Quietly visiting our giant Flemish rabbits in the Meditation Hall.
* Reading, journaling, napping, or simply doing absolutely nothing.

As evening arrives, everyone naturally gathers again for fresh vegetarian meals, sunset on the dock, and our final offering: the Sonic Bedtime Story—an immersive sound meditation designed to gently settle the body and quiet the mind before sleep.

This retreat welcomes every level of experience. Whether you’ve practiced yoga for decades or are stepping onto a mat for the very first time, you’ll find a relaxed, pressure-free environment where your own intuition sets the pace.

Come for the yoga. Stay for the river, the forests, the art, the wildlife, the nourishing food, the stillness, and the rare freedom to spend an entire weekend exactly as you need it.
Checkin: Friday  3:00-6:30p.m.
Checkout: Sunday 1:00p.m.

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.
