welcome, friends
To the Stehekin Wild Wilderness Yoga Retreat! First off, I need to express my utmost gratitude for your unwavering support, and for your trust in me! As I look at this list of laid-back, fun, soulful, and adventurous humans who said "yes" to this experience, I'm in complete awe... I couldn't have imagined a more perfect group for the 2nd Stehekin Wild Wilderness Retreat. This was absolutely meant to be. We're going to have the most amazing time together!!
​
We have plenty of time before our retreat starts, but I wanted to fill you in on some details and reminders to put your mind at ease and help you better prepare. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I'm here to support you through every step of this retreat!

Details and Important Reminders
Retreat Dates:
Stehekin Wild Wilderness Yoga Retreat
July 31st- August 3rd (Friday-Monday)
Check in: 4pm, Check out: 11am.
​
Traveling to/from Stehekin:
The Ferry to-and-from Stehekin is covered in your retreat package. On Friday, July 31st, you will just need to drive yourself to Field's Point Landing on Lake Chelan, where you will park your car and the ferry will pick our group up around 1pm. More details on this as we get closer. Please let me know if you are planning to travel to Stehekin in a different way- AKA Float Plane or by Hike-in. (The hike is GORGEOUS, but it's about 25 miles from Rainy Pass. If you need more details on this, don't hesitate to reach out).
​
The Ranch:
Get ready to fall in love with Stehekin Valley Ranch- a rustic, homey, peaceful retreat that feels like stepping back in time to the good ol' days. Come hungry.. the food at the ranch is amazing and hearty! Part of the ranch's charm is it's simplicity, so pack light and leave the hairdryers at home! With no a/c and no cell service, this is your chance to unplug, take a dip in the lake, lay in a hammock and reconnect with nature, good company, and yourself.
​
Yoga/Mindfulness..etc:
The plan is to be outside as often as possible throughout our retreat, so even the yoga/mindfulness will be outdoors! In the rare case that we have poor weather, we will cozy up our mats in the Ranch House. All yoga (etc) is completely optional, and will be suitable for all levels! No stress here, just opportunities to move your body and breathe the fresh mountain air.
​
You will need to bring your own yoga mat for this retreat. :)
​
Tours and Activities:
Included in our retreat is a group Guided Kayaking Tour on Lake Chelan! The water is so clear, cool, and beautiful on Stehekin- get ready to be "wowed"! Also, I will be leading us on an easy-moderate hike over the weekend as well.

​
Travel Insurance:
Personal Travel Insurance is highly suggested by myself and Stehekin Valley Ranch, as they do not offer and kind of refunds. Unexpected events happen, which can cause you to cancel your trip. To protect yourself from losing payments made, you can buy travel insurance for a small fee. Here is one option.
