Deep Rest, Deep Renewal
a restorative weekend in the Poconos
September 12-14, 2025
Himalayan Institute Honesdale, PA
$299 plus accommodations

Many of us are trapped in a cycle of daily stress, stuck in ‘fight or flight’ and disconnected from our bodies and deeper selves. Join me (Sarah Martyn, bodyworker and yoga teacher), for a restorative weekend set in the serene beauty of the Pocono Mountains. This retreat offers an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and nourish your nervous system.
From Friday afternoon to Sunday lunch, we will guide you through practices that promote deep relaxation and healing. This retreat is about being — no striving, no pressure, just a curious exploration of ‘what is.’ We will experience nourishing practices that support healing of the nervous system, offering you the chance to unwind deeply and cultivate inner calm.
Working with the practices of:
Gentle yoga
Somatic awareness
Guided relaxation/meditation
Light journaling
we will explore ways to quiet the mind, help you reconnect with your deeper self, and provide tools for managing stress in your everyday life.
In addition to these nourishing practices, you’ll have the chance to explore the tranquil 400-acre campus, take part in a sustainable chocolate factory tour and tasting, spend time in peaceful meditation, or book a massage at the wellness center (for an additional fee). With a flexible schedule, you can choose to engage in as many or as few structured activities as you like — it’s your retreat, your way. And because joyful FUN is another necessary component of a nourished nervous system, we will also enjoy a Saturday evening bonfire (private for our group).
Please note that registration is a two part process; be sure to complete both retreat registration and accommodations booking.
I would love for you to join me at one of my favorite places on earth for this deeply restorative weekend.
