Gemma Farrell

"Let our boundless love pervade the whole universe, above, below, and across. Our love will know no obstacles. " - The Metta SuttaPlease join us as we awaken the unconditional, inclusive, and wise love that is already within each of us. Together we will explore the teachings on loving kindness (metta) and invite metta prayer and meditation into our yoga and meditation sessions. Our schedule includes guided mindfulness and loving kindness meditation, vinyasa and deep stretching classes, yoga pose alignment clinics, free time for reading, relaxing, or walking in the woods, wonderful plant-based meals, and plenty of warm friendship.“May everyone be happy and safe, and may all hearts be filled with joy. May all beings live in security and in peace - May all of them dwell in perfect tranquility…” – The Metta Sutta

UPCOMING EVENTS

MENLA RETREATS

“Menla is indeed magical, a place out of time that is rich in presence. The vibrational quality of this sanctuary is palpable as well as the magnificent natural beauty. Healing, peaceful and luminous with Light, a pilgrimage to Menla evokes the proverbial Medicine Mountain, and yet it is so close to NYC. Our Ayurvedic massage and experience at Dewa Spa was transporting, regenerative and deeply nourishing. Looking forward to our next retreat here and sharing this treasure with friends.”

 

Sarah Drew

“To stay in the same place as His Holiness is a blessing and privilege. It is as if I could feel his love and tranquility vibrating all throughout.”

Vivian H.

“The food was fantastic, the pool was very relaxing, and the setting was spectacular! I suggest hiking the Metta Loop Trail when you are there. On the Menla property you will see lots of wildlife, such as deer, possums, and small bears that are harmless and used to our presence.”
