Farm Girl Camping Yoga Retreat

Description

Pitch your tent in the serene Grove Campground at Open Sky and immerse yourself in nights of stargazing and mornings filled with the soothing sounds of birdsong. This unique retreat offers a tranquil escape into nature’s serenity, combined with the rewarding experience of helping to plant the summer garden. Prior gardening experience is appreciated, as this is a collaborative effort rather than a gardening workshop.

In return for your hands on efforts, you’ll enjoy farm-to-table meals, start your mornings with a peaceful routine of meditation, breathwork, and hatha yoga, and participate in a midday journaling session before lunch. Late afternoons are yours to relax—unwind in a hammock, watch hummingbirds from the porch, or enjoy a tarot reading with Nitya. Evenings bring the group together for a cozy fire, drumming, and singing, creating a sense of connection and community.

This a small group retreat.  ( You can also find us on BookRetreats.com. ) 

Welcome, friend, to Open Sky where you will immediately feel relief in this quiet oasis. This farm girl retreat is an opportunity to witness the glory of spring from a place of quiet, self-reflection, and rest while helping build our summer garden.

Escape to a healing oasis at Open Sky in Cumberland County Virginia where you will spend time in nature, in the quiet. 

Your all-inclusive itinerary includes daily Hatha Yoga, meditation, journaling, self-inquiry, Earthing and gardening, and farm to table vegetarian/vegan meals.
