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

“Great place overall. Beautiful grounds, excellent service and friendly staff and well-maintained rooms/property. Also the food was awesome, creative and unique. Great experience, very relaxing and tranquil overall, if your looking for a retreat from the city!”

Dan B.

“I went to the Dr. Nida and Robert Thurman rejuvenating retreat. What a life changing experience. I feel so much better after just a week. The food is amazing, the spa is too good to be true. I love this hidden gem in the Catskills. I probably shouldn’t review this place—too many people might find out about it…”

Anonymous

“Menla means Medicine Buddha in Tibetan, but I think the esoteric translation must be ‘magic’. Menla is a place unto itself.”
