Details of this retreat

A cosmic sleepaway where inner landscapes meet open skies—days grounded in nature, nights under the stars. This isn’t about learning something new. It’s about returning to what’s already familiar beneath the noise.

Guided by Deborah Hanlon—intuitive medium, teacher, and steady, grounded presence—Celestial Camp is a gentle step away from constant input and urgency and into stillness, presence, and perspective. Through guided meditation, reflective journaling, intuitive and astrological insights, envisioning exercises, time in nature, and quiet moments of connection, the nervous system settles and awareness widens. Intuition begins to feel less like a mystery and more like a remembered language.

As the days unfold, clarity emerges without forcing. Insight arrives without searching. Under open skies and starlit nights - along with a few intentional spiritual surprises—what once felt distant comes back into view. This is not about becoming someone else. It’s about remembering yourself.

Such a beautiful setting
Menla is the best retreat location I have been to. (Others are Garrison Institute, Omega, Art of Living in N.C., and Insight Meditation in Barre, MA) It's beautiful, peaceful, has great walking trails. It's beautiful campus to walk across. The lodging is excellent-- great beds, linens, rooms, artwork on wall. And the food is the best I've had-- all vegetarian but with lots of flavor.

Retreat
The facilities and food at Menla was outstanding. The beauty of the land, the clean and comfortable beds and rooms added to the beautiful experience.
When I go on retreats, having delicious meals is import ant and the cleanliness of the room and facilities is important. Menla did a great job. Loved being able to enjoy the Dewa spa too. All people I interacted with with kind and easy to communicate with. Grateful.

Beautiful and Nourishing
The grounds are breathtaking, the staff is kind, the food is so healthy and fresh. What a fantastic time I had at a recent retreat here. It is a little more casual that Kripalu, with a ton of heart and depth to their offerings.
