Deans: Angela Andiorio and Nathaniel Gabor
“The Healing Power of Nature”
Nestled among the pines at 6,800 feet, Camp de Benneville Pines mountain retreat center will be hosting its annual Yoga Camp led by deans, Angela Andiorio and Nathaniel Gabor.
You are invited to slow down and immerse yourself in healing practices while being supported by the healing power of nature.
Over the course of the weekend, you’ll be guided through yoga and meditation practices with a variety of skilled teachers. You can participate actively in Kirtan or a drum circle or simply soak in the beautiful music offerings of our talented musicians and sound healers. You will have the opportunity to discover the healing plants that grow in our mountains on a guided hike with a local herbalist. Explore your creativity with a nature and art journaling practice with an experienced art instructor.
Our goal is to provide a space for you to connect with your natural rhythms, offer programs designed to support rest, renewal, and whole-body balance. Drawing from both ancient yogic wisdom and the healing presence of the forest, this immersive and holistic experience appeals to all levels of interests and practitioners.
You will have space to breathe deeply, move gently, express creatively, and reconnect with yourself and the natural world. Whether you’re seeking grounding, inspiration, or simply time away to restore, this retreat offers a nourishing blend of movement, sound, nature, and community.
Accommodations:
Camp de Benneville Pines welcomes you to a peaceful night’s rest in one of seven sleeping cabins. The cabins are scattered throughout our beautiful property, surrounded by forest, and walking distance from all camp activities and other buildings. Each cabin is distinctively decorated with a mountain theme. All offer rustic comfort.
Cabins host between three and nine sleeping rooms and two to three communal bathrooms. Standard accommodation includes twin bunk beds, and there are optional cabin upgrades for cabins with kitchens and living room areas, as well as rooms with double beds, or a combination of the two. Cabin upgrades are limited so register early.
Experience the joy of togetherness in our cozy cabin retreats, where each family is provided a private room to create their own haven of relaxation. For individual adventurers or friends journeying together, our cabins offer a harmonious blend of community and comfort, accommodating 2-4 guests per room, and 3-6 in our larger cabin rooms. We understand the value of companionship, so we invite you to personalize your stay by requesting roommates during the registration process or asking friends and family to join you ensuring your camp experience is shared with familiar faces and new friends alike.
