Set just a short distance from USA's most breathtaking national parks, national forests and national monuments! This retreat is designed to blend mindful Yin Yoga practice, nature, rest, and adventure to give you a whole hearted feeling for the PNW!
For six days together, we’ll move through grounding yin yoga and breath work, moments of stillness, moderate to intermediate hikes, ample time in nature, and shared experiences that cultivate connection — both within ourselves and with the surrounding landscape.
Late October in the Pacific Northwest is a magical time of year. Mist drifts through ancient forests, autumn colors deepen, and the pace of the season gently encourages us to turn inward. It’s the perfect setting to unplug, restore your energy, and immerse yourself in the quiet rhythm of nature.
Awaken in the Wild Washington State
Awaken in the Wild Retreat is located within Gifford Pinchot National Forest!
October 29th - November 3rd
Accommodations at Cispus Center
Our retreat home is nestled deep within the peaceful wilderness of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest at the welcoming and rustic Cispus Learning Center.
Surrounded by towering evergreens, mountain air, and the gentle sounds of the forest, this retreat space offers a simple and grounding environment that allows you to unplug and reconnect with nature. The property sits in the heart of the forest, with miles of trails, rivers, and wild landscapes just steps from your door.
Accommodations are comfortable and lodge-style, designed to foster both rest and community. Guests stay in cozy shared cabins with bathroom(s), a full kitchen and laundry!
The Cispus Center offers expansive grounds for yoga practice, quiet forest walks, and gathering in community. With the vast wilderness of the Pacific Northwest surrounding us, each day invites exploration, reflection, and the simple joy of being immersed in nature.
This retreat is an opportunity to experience the Pacific Northwest in its most authentic form — grounded, wild, and deeply restorative.
Unplugging in the Forest
In the spirit of connecting more deeply with the outdoors, our retreat location in the heart of the forest offers a natural opportunity to gently unplug.
Once we enter the national forest and arrive at the Cispus Center, there is no network/cell phone service. However, each cabin is equipped with Wi-Fi, allowing you to send messages and make calls when you are inside your cabin or near Wi-Fi router.
For the Awaken in the Wild: Yin Yoga & Hiking Retreat, it is encouraged that our yoga classes and workshops be phone-free spaces. This helps create a calm and present environment where everyone can fully enjoy the experience of movement, stillness, and the beauty of the surrounding forest.
Outside of classes and group gatherings, you are absolutely welcome to use your phone during our hikes and adventures. In fact, you will likely want it nearby to capture some of the incredible mountains, towering trees, and quiet forest moments you’ll encounter during the retreat.
Think of it less as being disconnected and more as a chance to reconnect — with nature, with community, and with yourself.
Shared room options and Single room options
All cabins have a full kitchen, 1-2 bathrooms with full bath and shower, hot water, living room, WiFi and a full laundry.
***Please Note: Although there is plenty of hot water and a hot wanter tank in each cabin, please be mindful of your shower timing as well as giving at least 45min for water to reheat.
