Details of this retreat

WE HAVE ENTERED A NEW PARADIGM CONSIDERED TO BE THE GREAT AWAKENING.

This is a time of transformation and the evolution of higher consciousness and soul awareness. Amidst great planetary confusion and upheaval, we are on the cusp of profound change. Ancient wisdom traditions, mystics, and modern astrologers have long predicted this era of awakening.

Join us at the beautiful Menla Retreat (menla.org), where we will create a sacred space as a group. This immersive experience includes deep learning, meditation, and sacred fire ceremonies, guided by the knowledge of our ancestors and ancient traditions. Are you ready to embrace change, awaken to divine presence, connect with nature, and access soul awareness? No matter where you are on your path of transformation, this program will guide you to the next step on your journey. Experience inner peace, joy, and stillness as we transition from 3rd dimensional reality to the wisdom of the soul and your divine nature. Release past wounds, open your heart, and give birth to a new paradigm of self and world perception.

You Will:

Connect to archetypes of nature, inner guides, and teachers
Open your spiritual heart to awaken your divine nature
Perceive and create your reality through soul awareness
Understand and embrace your role and your path during this cycle of Great Awakening as a new paradigm of consciousness evolves
Take a next step on your path of awakening

Join us and be part of this transformative journey!

So Grateful!
The weekend was perfect and awesome in every way. I came back feeling refreshed and in a better mood. Honestly, I wish it were longer, I would not have hesitated to spend more time there.
As for Menla itself, what a magical location. I look forward to spending more time there.
Thank you.

Quiet Peaceful Uplifting
A serene uplifting experience from the moment I arrived with a warm welcome at the front desk to interactions with kitchen staff (whose creations were tasty and filling) and the AV team in our session who used
Multiple cameras and mics to allow engaged participation from across the globe.

review menla retreat
Communication prior to the retreat was adequate. Meals were exceptional. Accommodations were average. I had reserved a single, more expensive room based on the picture in the website. I was assigned to a double room that was located up a steep hill and stairs-the most remote location from the main lodge and the yoga studio. I expressed my disappointment to the the staff who reminded me I did have the room to myself.

Beautiful setting in the Catskills
I attended a retreat at Menla recently for the first time and enjoyed the experience. I am not vegan but found the vegan offerings to be excellent. I shared a small house with two bedrooms and a shared bathroom house called Panther that had a great view of the stream and woods, and was centrally located on the property. The conference center was very comfortable and spacious. And a bonus - the water from the nearby spring is excellent.

Reinventing your life
Food was delicious! Accommodations and conference space worked well. My katmandu neighbor had a mouse which freaked me out a bit but it was the last day. A beautiful place to visit and relax
