Absolutely! MOre than half of our attendees last year came solo. The schedule is full of group activities and opportunities to peel off alone for reflection, a solo hike, or a hammock hang with a good book. The group suite provides the perfect mix of privacy in your pod when you want it, and proximity to other retreaters gathering for a sunrise coffee talk on the deck and sunset campfire games. You’ll see familiar faces from Flow, and we’ll host a happy hour at the studio a few weeks before we leave for everyone to get to know each other. Many of the solo travelers also carpooled to and from the resort.

Yes, while there is 2x-a-day yoga, this is a wellness retreat with a variety of activities and ample time to relax, reset, connect, spend time alone, and explore the parts and lakes nearby if you choose. We had non-yogi partners participate last year, and you are welcome to bring family members or friends who do not regularly practice.

Depends who is driving. For Kevin, all-in about 3.5 hours. Shannon gets us there in 3. And we wouldn’t want it any shorter. The drive is beautiful, and it provides time to start decompressing well before you arrive. We’ll provide playlists, podcasts, and conversation-starters to help you make the most of the time.

We have two private glamping yurts that sleep 2-4 in two queen beds if you’re looking for more privacy. That said… Shannon and I had intended to stay in a yurt last year, but made the last minute decision to stay in the cabin with ten other retreaters and we’re so glad we did. Each pod is curtained off for privacy and there are two modern bathrooms and showers. We were really only in the cabin to sleep, but truth be told, there were opportunities to get to know the other retreaters in the casual conversations and early morning chats that we just wouldn’t have had in a yurt. Those little moments of connection made the trip. Privacy wasn’t an issue.

Short answer -- as much as you like. We have a robust schedule (here’s last year’s day-to-day itinerary for reference) but you get to choose your own path every day — whether that’s with the group, solo, or a mix of both. There are no mandatories — even meals can be boxed up for later if you need or want to step back from the group. This trip is for you to use however you like. We’re here to provide options and support along the way!

The guided barefoot hike was great, as was the hive tour. We had an extended kayaking day trip we enjoyed but may not replicate if the temp is too brisk, but there are wood-burning activities at the resort, cedar hot tubs, and polar plunges in the pond for the daring. There’s games, campfires, and good conversations that were every bit as enjoyable as the time in the woods and on the water.

• Activewear/athleisure for four vinyasa flows; comfy clothes for two restoratives + nightly campfire hangouts (consider bringing a laundry bag to throw dirty clothes during the weekend)
