SHINE: A Women’s Summer Solstice Retreat At The Elmore Spa
Join Anjali Budreski & Tara Cariano For A Rejuvenating And Healing Day Long Retreat In Vermont
Sunday June 23 from 10 am to 6 pm, Elmore Vermont :: Space is limited to 9 participants
Join Anjali & Tara for a rejuvenating retreat at the charming woodland oasis that is the Elmore Spa. The intention for this retreat is simple: To gather in sacred space, integrate the vibrant energy of Summer Solstice, bask in nature and honor the seasonal shift. We will do this in a safe and sacred container of wise women + experienced retreat leaders.
Enjoy this simple and calm retreat center- nestled in rural Vermont- at the apex of the summer season. We will gather in the stunning loft or on the shady porch for yoga, enjoy the stream and woodlands to connect with nature and bask in harmony in the hydrotherapy circuit (natural outdoor sauna, cold plunge & hot tub).. We will also journal by the fire and set intentions for a new season. Learn about the 5 great elements and how they can support our everyday lives.
Summer Solstice is a powerful peak or climax on the year’s wheel and then the energy starts to wane once again. It is a bittersweet time- full of energetic charge followed by rest and an emptying out. You will be invited to contemplate what has reached it’s apex point and what is waning in your own life. As the wheel turns, it’s time to slow down, nourish yourself deeply by connecting with the elements and INTEGRATE all that you have experienced since spring began back in March.
We are so excited for you to join us for this sweet day long gathering of kindred souls!

SACRED: A Women’s Autumn Retreat At Sterling Forest Lodge in Stowe
October 31- November 3, 2024
With Anjali Budreski & Juli Ford
As we gather into seasonal stillness and the dark half of the year, join us on retreat in the most enchanted mountains of Vermont…
If you are seeking a beautiful & nourishing container of women to gather with in the temple of the heart, this retreat is for you. Welcome to SACRED and welcome home to your own essence.
Our intention for this 3 night (4 day) retreat is simple: To take a pause from our daily lives, gather with other sisters on the path of soul + spirit and deeply root into the earth, each other and the wisdom within.
Imagine waking up to soft light on the mountains and sipping coffee by a warm fire with your journal or book.
You then wander into the stunning yoga sanctuary and enjoy a one hour gentle yoga class followed by a nourishing breakfast. The rest of the day flows in a sweet balance of group time and time just for you to follow your inner impulses.
You might explore the carefully crafted woodland trails or enjoy the hydrotherapy circuit (outdoor sauna, cold plunge and wood-fired hot tub). Evenings are for slow meals at the communal table, sacred temple time or laughing with friends and medicine cards by the fire.
The important thing is that you feel you can go at your own pace, pick and choose what works for you and sink deeply into the season of rest, quiet and stillness.
In the potent container of this retreat we will explore what it means to merge the mundane with the sacred and to find the beauty in both the light and shadows.
Rather than a headlong dive into the underworld to ‘face our demons’ and find healing, we will soften and allow the mystery to hold us fast. We will pause, breathe and ALLOW ourselves the space to REST.
