About this trip
Awaken You: Spring Weekend Yoga, Hiking & Writing Retreat
Menla
Phoenicia (Catskills), NY
Calling all levels of yogis, hikers, and aspiring writers!
Wander & Yoga with Georgette are beyond thrilled to offer this retreat at the gorgeous inspiring Menla resort.
WHAT DOES THIS SPRING WEEKEND RETREAT LOOK LIKE?
Imagine yourself enjoying a weekend full of yoga, hiking, and friendship on this 320-acre Catskills NY forest preserve. Spring is the perfect time to awaken from the deep slumber of winter and prepare for the warmer weather. Together we’ll practice yoga (all levels), take a hike, and optionally meet to work on your writing project that may have yet to be born.
This retreat is an opportunity for you to practice self-discovery and awakening in varying forms and may be one of the most important things you do for yourself all year. Come and escape from the everyday stresses of life, cleanse, commune, and nourish your health and well-being. There will be time to explore all that Menla has to offer including hiking, the world-class Dewa spa, and stunning amenities. Surrounded by the beauty and majesty of the Catskill mountains, this is a precious opportunity to explore internally and with one another.
Yogis and writers at all levels of skill and experience are welcome. Georgette is a master at creating safe space for creativity to flourish whether it is in the yoga studio, while writing, and when sharing our writing with others (all optional). Kerry is a published writer in the recently published anthology Magnificently Made, 33 extraordinary stories that connect us to our personal power and to one another.
This is a retreat for all levels of experience.
We are so honored to lead another retreat at the breath-giving Menla Mountain Retreat Center. We hope you join us for three days of rejuvenation, expansion, and practice in a fun, nurturing environment to restore and renew your physical, mental, and emotional bodies.
Note that all activities are optional. You’re encouraged to listen deeply to the stirrings of your soul and be directed from within.
