New Moon in the Trees Women's Retreat
Sisterhood, ceremony, and mountain air
Along the road toward Mount Baker, this women’s retreat makes sisterhood, sacred ceremony and healing its focus. Meditation is among the listed practices, though the retreat’s specific sessions and daily schedule may vary. One memorable part of the gathering is the food: Chef Kim Blair prepares meals with whole, plant-based, organic and gluten-free ingredients, with vegetarian and dairy-free options also noted. The setting is Peaceful Mountain Retreat, a retreat venue on Silver Lake Road with a sauna, yoga studio, fitness center, kitchen and free parking. Maple Falls and the nearby mountain corridor offer a welcome change of pace from everyday routines, while the retreat’s women-centered format creates room for shared reflection as well as time to recharge. Ask the host about the schedule, lodging arrangements and what is included in the rate before booking.
