Where is the Retreat
This sacred retreat will be held at Menla Retreat and Dewa Spa Wellness Center on a 330-acre nature reserve. Sitting at the head of a glacial valley, it’s one of the most beautiful parts of the Catskill Mountains in New York.
Seated atop the world’s most ancient meteor impact crater, this hidden valley is a pristine eco-system, an oasis of remarkable spiritual energy residing on land long held sacred to local Native Americans for its extraordinary energy. For centuries before us, and still today, Menla’s stunning land offers a perfect place for sacred ceremonies, spiritual growth, deep healing, contemplation, and prayer – a sacred site where seekers young and old come to bridge the worlds of humanity, nature, and the divine. The local Native American peoples, including the Esopus and Mahicans, regarded this valley and region, with its enormous first-growth hemlock trees, as especially sacred, a place of the spirits. They never settled here and only used the valley for ceremonial purposes.
We feel very blessed and grateful to be able to offer this retreat on this special land. The energy here is sublime and truly is a perfect container to complement the deep restorative practices of the God in the Bod retreat experience.
Why Attend?
In this fast-paced world, we often find ourselves disconnected from our inner selves and the essence of life. This retreat is your opportunity to press pause, immerse yourself in the beauty of nature, and delve deep into the realms of your soul. True power and happiness comes from your ability to be settled within your own heart wisdom. You can only do that by getting out of your head and into your body temple. Through a harmonious and alchemic blend of movement, sacred anointing, trance meditations, ritual magic, nature connection and more, you'll experience profound shifts as you remember the powerful creator that you have always been. This will empower and uplift you in ways you've never imagined.
