3 Day Spiritual Women’s Yoga Weekend Retreat in NY, US
375 Pantherkill Road, Phoenicia, USA
Holistic Wellness with Yoga
Begin 2027 aligned with your divine purpose. Release old fears and limiting beliefs through yoga, meditation, sound baths and women’s circles.
Step Into the New Year Aligned with Your Higher Self
Spend the Martin Luther King Jr. long weekend, January 16–18, 2027, at Menla, a 330-acre private nature reserve in New York’s Catskill Mountains. This women’s weekend retreat gives you the space to pause, reflect and step into the new year with a clear sense of purpose.
A new year brings fresh hope, new intentions and a natural opening to step into your divine purpose, your dharma.
You carry a unique gift, deep-rooted and powerful. Yet doubt and fear can hold you back. You may feel stuck or hesitant, afraid of criticism or rejection, or simply unsure where to begin. When your words, actions and gifts are aligned with your dharma, everything shifts.
Over the weekend, you’ll practice Kaula Tantra yoga, pranayama and daily meditation, and take part in a sacred sound bath, a fire ceremony and women’s circles. Somatic practices, conscious movement and guided visualizations help you release what no longer serves you and reconnect with your inner wisdom.
Imagine:
Letting go of the fears, limiting beliefs and old stories that keep you small
Trusting your intuition as your inner compass
Awakening your gifts and sharing them with courage
Opening up to abundance, love and meaningful relationships
Living from inspiration rather than obligation, and from your soul rather than fear
Feeling deeply connected to your feminine wisdom and your purpose
You’ll begin the new year as a different woman, not because your circumstances changed, but because you did.
