6 Days of Learning, Relaxation & Transformation

Join award-winning author and channel Paul Selig for a six-day channeled retreat at Menla, a stunning sanctuary nestled deep within New York’s Catskill Mountains. Experience the Guides’ newest teachings on transforming consciousness and aligning to a higher octave of reality in one of the most beautiful times of the year — peak autumn foliage in the Catskills.

Paul and his Guides will deliver their latest channeled teachings on moving beyond limitation, aligning with higher purpose, and lifting to what they call the Upper Room — the vibrational field of the Divine Self. Through lectures, attunements, empathic work, Q&A sessions, energy transmissions, and group exercises, participants will be led on a journey of self-realization and healing designed to help you move beyond fear, claim your inherent divinity, and shift your reality to a higher state of being.

Surrounded by vibrant fall colors, cascading streams, and forested mountain trails, Menla offers the perfect environment for inner renewal and spiritual expansion. This acclaimed retreat and wellness center, owned by Tibet House US, combines the serenity of a secluded mountain valley with the comfort of modern accommodations and a world-class spa inspired by Tibetan healing traditions.

Guests can enjoy peaceful forest walks, meditation gardens, and quiet moments of reflection among the changing leaves — or indulge in the onsite spa’s saunas, steam rooms, and internationally acclaimed services. Menla’s nourishing vegetarian meals, prepared with organic ingredients (many from their on-site gardens), provide another way to connect body, mind, and spirit throughout the retreat.

While this gathering will offer the opportunity for deep learning and energetic transformation, it’s also a chance to unplug, rest, and connect with fellow seekers from around the world.

Join us for an unforgettable autumn retreat — an opportunity to work closely with Paul and his Guides in one of the most peaceful and spiritually charged settings in North America.

Invigorating experience

Equinox Embodied was an amazing retreat. The yoga and Pilates classes were well executed and the yoga nidra and sound baths were so relaxing . The retreat was filled with thoughtful surprises and close attention to details. The magic of Menla enhanced the experience. I went home feeling rejuvenated and invigorated. Thank you Kim and Whitney!

Beautiful Retreat

Menla’s grounds are truly special, tucked into the gorgeous Catskill mountains, you truly cannot beat the location. There is a pond, a creek, hiking trails and multiple places to explore. I felt such peace joining this retreat between the beautiful itinerary and the space it was held. Highly recommend a retreat at Menla.

Beautiful and Sacred Visit

The architecture of Kevin Courtney's teachings and the structure of his fellow teachers' offerings was truly brilliant and got us into a place where, by the end, you are as tapped in as you can possibly be.

The beauty and sacredness of the land on which Menla is sits is very much a part of the experience and deeply woven into the fabric.

The grounds, lodging, staff, and delicious meals were all exquisite as well. We felt cared for and held in every way.
