STILLNESS. SOLITUDE. SNOW.
Let winter wrap you in quiet. This retreat is an invitation to slow down and soften into the season — where every snow-covered branch and steaming cup of tea reminds you to breathe a little deeper.
Surrounded by the hush of the forest and the frozen beauty of Maple Lake, you’ll spend your days moving gently through yoga, soaking in stillness, and savoring the comforts of a private cabin. Explore snowy trails on snowshoes, warm up in the sauna, and plunge into icy waters if you’re called to awaken the senses.
This is winter as it was meant to be — cozy, calm, and deeply nourishing.
