Menla’s sweat lodge is located in a secluded forested area tucked away down by the stream. Traditional sweat lodges are deeply healing and spiritually enriching Native American ceremonies. Since they take a lot of work to prepare, and most of our lodge leaders do not live in the local area, these must be booked as far in advance as possible. Ceremonies usually include traditional prayers and songs, and the intentions or wishes for each specific round of the lodge are spoken aloud.
“A place of exceptional beauty. A retreat center surrounded by nature, silence and beauty.”

“The speakers and yoga instructors were giants in their fields, and people came from Holland, Germany, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, NYC, Brooklyn, Missouri… Being around friendly and happy people with positive attitudes interested in understanding and enjoying life in all it’s vicissitudes, curiosity, and making a better world was intoxicating…”

“It’s not clear on your site HOW AMAZING the nature is!! I was blown away at the beauty and would have preferred an OUTDOOR retreat because of how epic the woods and creek were.”
