a 5 night nature immersion retreat of heart-centered spiritual practice in the Adirondack Mountains
August 30 ~ September 4, 2026
Pyramid Life Center | Paradox, NY
Join us for a five night nature immersion retreat where you will be guided and invited into a profound felt-sense of the Sacred. Our days will be spent in deep connection to each other, to our own selves, to the breathtaking Adirondack wilderness, and to the Holy Ground of Being that holds us all. Weaving song, ceremony, meditation, sound healing, gentle yoga, qigong, drumming, and contemplative nature experiences, we will journey together into an intuitive flow of embodied spiritual practice and remembering.
