* shift in retreat location as of July 17th *
Maple Falls, WA
ABoUT THE PRoPERTY
This retreat is being hosted in an octagonal home that was built in alignment to the four directions. It was built on a private 26 acre property nestled in the forest and mountains in Maple Falls, Washington. It’s about 2.5 hour north of Seattle and 45 minutes Northeast of Bellingham.
There are gardens, plenty of space for hiking and exploring the land, a yoga studio, full amenities, and comfortable spaces to lounge.
We will close the weekend out with a wood fired sauna & cold plunge experience with Moonfire Sauna House. This sauna was built from scratch by my partner and I using almost all reclaimed and purposed material.

ABoUT YoUR HoSTS
Hi! I'm Mackenzie. I've been teaching yoga regularly for about 4 years now and practicing for about 15. Yoga has been a life changing practice and a grounding anchor through every season of my life. I feel honored and deeply on purpose sharing this beautiful practice with people.
​
I offer flows that are grounded yet fluid, strong yet soft, both creative and structured. I continuously weave in metaphors about ways we can take our practice off the mat into our every day lives. Asana, the physical practice of yoga, is just one element of yoga to explore. I am passionate about teaching yoga as a way of life... not just a physical movement practice.
I teach regularly at the Bellingham Yoga Collective. If you've never been to this studio and want to try out my class before signing up for the retreat, reach out to me and I can get you into my class for the first time free! And if you are curious about the other work I offer in the world, check out the rest of my website... thanks for being here.
YoUR CHEF & FAERIE GoD MoTHER

This woman is the embodiment of magic, pure love, laughter & authenticity.

​
As a business owner & birth doula, Rosey is passionate about human connection, community & nourishing ourselves through nature. If you have any questions or specific requests around food, don't hesitate to reach out. We will make sure you are taken care of.

FAQ
Can I bring alcohol or drugs?
Please do not bring alcohol to the retreat. This is a space to lean into deeper connection with yourself, the earth, your yoga practice, and others at the retreat. If you have a good relationship with cannabis and want to bring that into your experience, I ask that you do so mindfully & intentionally. If you are a smoker, I will ask that you do that far away from any food, sleeping or yoga practice environment. Please leave all other substances at home.
What kind of yoga will we be practicing?
I will be teaching a strong & slow vinyasa style practice. On Saturday evening, I will be offering a more restorative/yin & meditation practice.
