Gift-Based Retreat Pricing
Retreat Costs
We are offering this program on gift-based pricing which means that the total paid to reserve your spot is to cover the costs of running the program (lodging, food, labor, supplies, travel, marketing, booking fees, etc.). Reciprocity, the act of both giving and receiving is a natural pattern and embedded into the core of our offering. We have chosen to structure the retreat in this way in order to honor the gifts we are offering and are beyond a value that can be ascribed to them. Many similar retreats would range from $800 – 3,000+ per person and our goal is to keep this retreat as accessible as possible by allowing those who can give more to support those who do not have the means to give as much at this time.

Food Philosophy
Food is an integral part of the retreat experience and we take great care to ensure the food we serve aligns with the values we will be embodying throughout the retreat. Our food philosophy is influenced by permaculture, regenerative agriculture and the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, a sister science of Yoga. We will be observing a vegetarian diet and sourcing food from our regenerative farming network highlighting local ingredients and seasonal recipes. We will offer meat/fish at one dinner for those who are interested. We work for a non-profit called Drylands Agroecology Research and will be sourcing food from our partner network of farms, Elk Run Farm pictured below. Mindful eating and presence are vital aspects of connecting with the food, farmers and the land from which it was cultivated. We will be practicing silence during breakfast as a way to nourish our bodies and give thanks to the abundance we are gifted by Mother Earth.

Retreat Facilitators
Matt Lawley
YOGA TEACHER
Matt’s classes focus on alignment and release in order to activate energy centers, release stuck emotions and bring awareness back to our hearts. He incorporates guitar, singing bowls and mantras into his classes as well as themes around connection to the Earth, ecosystems, elements and the nature within us. Matt is trained in Alignment-Based Hatha (500 hours) and Yin Yoga (100 hours). He has also worked at a top rated yoga retreat center in Thailand and for a non-profit yoga festival. Yoga and meditation brought him to the path of permaculture and regenerative work. His goal is to offer these practices and tools as a way to bring more people into alignment with themselves and Mother Earth.
Anthony Levy
YOGA TEACHER
When we take care of ourselves, we are taking care of the Earth. That is why Anthony developed a yoga series called Earth Care through Self Care. His classes will focus on regenerating soul and soil by braiding together yogic philosophy, permaculture principles, pranayama (breath), alignment-based asana (movement), and mindfulness. Anthony Levy is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance, which acknowledges the completion of a yoga teacher training with a Registered Yoga School (RYS). He completed his YTT-200 with Guru Sonia Kaur at Pura Veda Gurukulum in San Juanillo, Costa Rica in January 2022.

FAQs
Yoga classes will be beginner/intermediate level and may be challenging at times but accessible for all levels. Some experience with yoga is recommended.
We will be at higher elevation which will make some physical activities more strenuous. Moderate hiking and physical abilities are recommended for hiking and other excursions. If you are unsure about participating in some of the activities then you can talk to the facilitators and stay at the retreat location if needed.
Please include any other dietary preferences, food allergies and/or sensitivities in the notes section of the booking form. We will communicate these with our chef and make sure your needs are accommodated.
