Ancient wisdom for contemporary good health

Our namesake, this guided retreat sets the table for transformation. You’ll live the Ayurvedic daily routine (dinacarya — dee nuh char ee uh), which includes physical, mental, and sensory habits and practices designed to bring the mind-body-spirit into harmony. You’ll leave this retreat with new health-promoting habits that will endure long after the retreat ends.

Inspired by the Vedic sages who retreated to the forest for quiet rejuvenation, the Ayurvedic Silent Retreat provides a “reset” for the central nervous system. We’ll use movement, breathing, mindfulness practices, and foods specifically geared toward supporting inward attention.

Silence helps focus a busy mind, improve sleep, revive the senses, and promote a new level of calm. Getting silent is not easy; trying it in a deeply supportive environment, where all your basic needs are met, helps bring transformation. Remap yourbuzzing mind to attain a new level of calm, and take home simple practices you can integrate IRL.

The radical act of embracing quiet in a loud, loud world can be life-changing. This guided retreat uses Ayurvedic techniques to bring deep quiet and true calm. We’ll use dinacarya (daily routine), pranayama (breathwork), mindfulness, yoga, and nature to help us experience the presence of mind that deep hush brings — and the healthy habits that come with presence of mind. The Quiet Retreat is a great alternative for those looking for a deeply transformative experience without the rigor of a silent retreat.

Quiet soothes the senses, aids concentration, aids mindful eating, improves digestion, and has many other benefits. A lot can awaken when deep quiet prevails. You’ll leave this retreat with techniques you can integrate into your real life right away.

The junction of the seasons is a great time to release the gunk that has been accumulating in our bodies and minds. The DINA Lodge Cleanse Retreat uses gentle Ayurvedic practices to prepare the body and mind to cleanse and then support them as they release the unhelpful buildup that tends to linger in our tissues and joints, leading to aches, pains, and even disease. This cleanse begins and ends at your home, with the main cleanse portion taking place in the supportive environment of DINA Lodge.
