Welcome to Elohee!  We are glad you are here.  

This winter, we’re excited to offer our first Rest & Relaxation Weekend of 2027. An opportunity to settle deeply into the stillness of winter and plant the seeds of deep transformation with awareness and intention. This retreat experience will include silence from Friday evening through Saturday evening. A chance to embrace quiet reflection, with no obligation to speak.

This gentle practice of Mauna, or inner silence, offers space to observe, reconnect, and rest in the peaceful presence of simply being. By Saturday evening, you may choose to remain in silence or gather with others to share reflections on your experience.

Like other Rest & Relaxation Weekends, all activities are optional and you can move through the weekend at your own pace.  Some options include verbally guided yoga, meditation, forest hikes, and bonfires, all with the space to be in silence if you wish. Enjoy a weekend away alongside our miles of hiking trails and Natural Reflecting Pond with a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains.

Choose to do as little or as much as you’d like. No schedule…no demands…just the opportunity to “be” on your own terms.

You will also have an opportunity to add on Massage Therapy or Reiki appointments.

Meals include arrival dinner on Friday through departure lunch on Sunday, and we’re happy to provide healthy, delicious, and wholesome food for your enjoyment.
