Greetings Friends!
As we head into the final month of the 2024 retreat program schedule at the Feathered Pipe Ranch, we wanted to reach out and thank all who have joined us this summer for what has been a remarkable season of togetherness, healing, and inspired hope for the future.
We also want to invite all who might still be considering heading to Big Sky Country for a week of rest, recharge, and recalibration, that we have some incredible programs to come in the autumnal season of change in the Northern Rockies.
The weather continues to hover in the low 80s during the days with light and shadow, sound and silence having that distinctly defined quality of Fall. Evening brings the crisp coolness that brings such restful sleep and inspires peaceful turning inward.
Kindling the Inner Fire
We have some incredible programs just right for the season:
Turning Inward: Awakening to a Heart-Centered World with Lynne Minton, September 7 – 14
— When we place our attention on the heart and breathe deeply, we clearly see how the mind has created a mistaken identity of duality where insecurity, lack and fear can abide. By coming back to the heart breath again and again, we move our state of being (mind and heart) from duality to unity. We overcome our limitations and little by little begin to feel more whole, healthy and joyful. Learn more.
Sacred Connection: Creating a Life with Intention with Stacy McGinty & Teresa Gonzalez, September 14 – 21
— Under the big blue sky of Montana we will practice yoga twice a day, meditate in the open air and open our hearts and calm our minds. Treat yourself to a week of self-care, tranquility and time to reflect. The morning yoga sessions will include a vinyasa flow and meditation and the afternoon sessions will include a gentle yoga, yin or restorative class. We will include sound healing, journaling and mandala art creations during the week. Learn more.
The Heart of Freedom and Ease: A Guided Movement & Meditation Retreat with Court Morgan & Laura Williamson, September 21 – 27
— Under the blanket of the vast Montana sky and in the embrace of the forest, yogis are guided to explore their own practice in an interdisciplinary format with periods of movement, stillness, silence, practice with intentional speaking, and interaction. This semi-silent retreat, open to both beginners and experienced yogis, will offer a daily schedule of guided movement practices, meditations and instructions, time for questions and discussion with the teachers and plenty of open time to explore your practice in the ways that are nourishing and interesting to you – including hiking, canoeing and exploring historic downtown Helena.

Join us and recharge your being!
