MacTire Croi (wolf heart) Retreat
Find your footing among the pines
The draw here is the mix of guided personal-growth work and room to step outside into Montana’s pine country. MacTire Croi, Gaelic for “wolf heart,” gathers local practitioners for a changing menu of holistic healing and mindful-living activities, rather than following one named meditation lineage. Days are shaped around different ways to reset, reflect, and connect with other guests, with the precise program shifting from retreat to retreat. Timber Wolf Resort provides the base, about nine miles from Glacier National Park’s west entrance, so time for wilderness can sit alongside a comfortable resort setting. Meals are part of the retreat, with organic, locally sourced dishes spanning vegetable-based plates and meat options; vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free needs are listed. It is also pet-friendly, a welcome detail for travelers bringing a companion. Retreat pricing starts at USD 2,147 and is described as all-inclusive; confirm the dates and exact inclusions before booking.

Setting
Timber Wolf Resort sits among tall pines along Highway 2, about nine miles from Glacier National Park’s west entrance. The setting pairs a resort base with easy access to Montana’s outdoors, making it natural to balance retreat activities with time outside.
The practice
There is no single named meditation lineage here. Local practitioners lead changing opportunities in holistic healing, personal growth, and mindful living, with activities intended to support reflection and connection. Newcomers can expect a wellness-focused retreat rather than a fixed sequence of formal meditation sessions; ask the host about the specific practices planned for your dates.
