A Meditation and Mindfulness Retreat in Montana

June 26th -July 1st 2024

Join Lisa Gonzalez and Steven Cohen for a transformative meditation retreat near Glacier National Park. Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of Whitefish, Montana. Escape the busyness of life and connect with your inner self in nature. Enhance your mindfulness, focus, and emotional intelligence with tailored meditation techniques. Whether you're experienced or new to meditation, gain invaluable tools for personal and professional growth. Don't miss this unforgettable experience combining inner reflection with the beauty of Glacier National Park.

This experience inward will focus on enhancing your meditation and mindfulness practice. Think lot’s of rest, reflection, self-care, and transformation.

We will disconnect to reconnect at the incredible Dancing Spirit Ranch. With more than 150 acres of Montana’s legendary wonderland to explore, the grounds have over 5 miles of walking trails, ponds to kayak on, and gardens to explore. There are beautifully crafted standing stone sites on the property that draw inspiration from around the world. The owners of this property have created a peaceful oasis that consciously blends the creations of man and nature. The native grasses and trees planted have become home to many wild animals that can be spotted daily grazing the fields and roaming the sky. The intention behind Dancing Spirit Ranch is to provide guests with a laidback yet luxurious retreat in nature where one can simply reconnect with the stillness and splendor of the elements around them. From onsite massage to meditation huts, one can find exactly what they need to unplug.

Beginning in the summer of 2021, Dancing Spirit Ranch officially became farm to table with their very own, craftily created, organic garden. They have worked long and hard to build an organic, sustainable garden to feed guests. Their chefs are constantly working to create menus inspired by the daily offerings, always highlighting seasonal flavors. Enjoy a festive meal in Rio’s Clubhouse, the newest hut tucked amongst the garden overlooking the Whitefish River.

And, of course, Dancing Spirit Ranch is in the middle of northwest Montana’s legendary, recreational wonderland. Located 6 miles southeast of Whitefish, which was just named Montana's most beautiful town, we are a short drive from Glacier National Park, Whitefish Mountain Resort, and many pristine lakes that are woven between beautiful rivers and streams.

Included in your experience is transportation to and from the airport in Montana (within times provided by the hosts), 3 farm to table meals a day, yoga, meditation, journaling, and a guided hike in beautiful Glacier National Park.

There is something so special about immersing yourself in the retreat experience, especially among a community of friends. We are excited to welcome you to the majestic mountains of Montana.

I hope everyone gets the chance to experience their love. ”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

— Tracey M

“Tulum 23 was Spectacular! The attention to detail was thoughtfully planned and executed with love. I felt safe, secure, loved, nourished, with a sense of community and adventure. Sacred Space Retreats are perfect if your traveling alone and “new” to the experience or already been on 3 Retreats like me. This retreat in particular... I wanted to surrender and release. I just lost my parents, and I’m carrying a lot of pain and weight. I came back lighter in so many ways! I laughed, cried, hugged, danced, and yes..did amazing yoga, meditation and breath work and had spicy margaritasI I rode an ATV, participated in a Cacao Ceremony, Sacred Clay, Temazcal, and a Cenote. Went to the most beautiful Juice Bar (Raw Love) and a Hot Spot Private Jungle Club in Tulum. How was the food? The freshest food you’ll ever taste..(Breakfast, Snack, & Dinner) and accommodated allergies or restrictions. My Retreat “habitat” was a beautiful bungalow on the beach for 6 days with my favorite friend..
I never wore shoes and meditated to the sunrise. I gave up caffeine on the retreat, (something I wanted to do) and had fresh juices and teas every morning.
If you like coffee...it was fresh along with the fruits. We had a yoga practice every morning followed by delicious group breakfast. Amazing staff at Alya Tulum. Days were beautifully scheduled and optional. Although, to get the most out of the experience, I advise to try everything, even out of your comfort level, and come back lighter and happier. Thank you Lisa and Jenny for the most beautifully orchestrated retreat I’ve ever been on. To quote myself on the Retreat “today’s the best day of my life”

— Christine P

“I’ve been taking Lisa’s retreats for years and they just keep getting better and better. The amount of thought and care she puts into planning each and every one of them is impressive. The kinds of people her retreats attract are those who are open for change, possibilities, friendship, and love.

Tulum was the best retreat yet. Lisa and Jenny were wonderful leaders. The local ceremonies were authentic, the resort was a haven, and the yoga classes, meditation, and connection work were impactful.

A sacred space retreat is a gift you want to give yourself and you won’t regret it. You’ll leave with deeper friendships, a lighter soul, and a full heart. I can’t wait to see what Lisa comes up with next! ”

— Rizza L

“Lisa and Jenny were the most amazing hosts for the retreat. The resort they selected was incredible, the food and staff exceeded expectations! Every detail of each day had lots of care and attention to detail. The retreat group made so many special connections and words truly can’t describe the transformative experience that I had. I would highly recommend Sacred Space and cannot wait to go on another retreat with them!”

— Elisabeth M

“I have been on several retreats in my life. The sacred space retreat I recently attended in Tulum Mexico was by far the most enjoyable, but more importantly the most impactful and transformative retreat I have ever experienced. The leaders of our retreat, Lisa and Jenny, Found a way to make sure that each attendees experience was beyond special. We were all made to feel extremely welcome and in a very safe place to share, to open up and to be vulnerable and grow with each other as a result of our experience.
I look forward to many more sacred space retreats in the future and I will take so many treasured memories and benefits from my experience with me from the Tulum retreat.”

— David S

“This retreat gave me the opportunity to completely immerse not only into my yoga and meditation practice, but so much more than that. I was able to tune in to my mind, body and heart. Although, the location of Tulum was incredible, I believe this retreat could be placed anywhere in the world and be just as impactful, because the work and the healing is on the inside. Alex and Lisa hold space for you to be vulnerable and create breakthroughs in your life, sometimes breakthroughs that you didn’t even know you needed!”

“Before attending this retreat, I always looked at retreats and vacations as opportunity to escape real life obstacles and forget my everyday struggles. However, this taught me how to accept my struggles, look deep within and realize that everyday is a day in paradise even when it’s difficult.”

“A yoga retreat with Alex and Lisa is what you’ve been searching for: a vacation that renews rather than depletes. That connects you with like-minded individuals along with your higher purpose and challenges you to get out of the comfort zone that keeps you stuck. They aren’t just teachers and mentors, but friends and the most fun vacation planners and participants you’ll ever hang with.”

“Awaken Your Soul is a gift from the Universe to the Universe...a mindful reminder of what is already present and available to all of us. Thank you Alex & Lisa!”

“Once again, Alex & Lisa blow me away with all the details. Coming from a place of understanding, I know what it takes to plan and to make it look seemless. They do that all the way!!!!!! This retreat was all that and more. Never expected the excursion we did and I’m still on a high from it. Thank you for making this happen.”

“Alex and Lisa have a wisdom and synergy that radiates throughout the retreat. They create loving space, encouragement, inspiration, and facilitate the expansion of each student. They are amazing! Can’t wait for the next retreat”

“This is my third retreat with Lisa and Alex and they do a fantastic job of organizing the retreat. They are so passionate about bringing new experiences to everyone and I will continue to go on retreats with them.”

“Lisa and Alex are amazing yoga teachers! The retreat was amazing. So much thought and detail went into into the event. Every little thing was planned perfectly. Going on this retreat was one of the best decisions I have ever made.”

“This retreat will be hard to beat. Well thought out, organized, and planned perfectly. There was plenty of down time as well as fun activities and excursions. Loved following a theme throughout the week. Lisa and Alex are a great duo. They make each and every person feel included and encourage so much connection between each and every person. I can’t wait for Peru!”

“The yoga classes, other activities, food, hotel, and transportation were all exceptional! One of the most memorable experiences of my life. I left with new friendships, great memories, and a refreshed outlook on life.”

“The other guests were warm and friendly and we became one big family in the end! It was truly a wonderful and fulfilling retreat. I look forward to many more amazing retreats with Alex in the future!”

“This was my first retreat exceeded my expectations . Alex and Lisa are experts and they made all the little details seem so easy-truly they thought of everything. It was a marvelous use of my time-much more than a vacation-a rejuvenation!”

“A life changing experience. It’s as if someone hands you a bag full of tools to help you live the life that makes you feel empowered and ALIVE. You learn, explore, live outside of your comfort zone and make life lasting connections. Invest in YOU with this yoga retreat!”

“This retreat is a great way to unplug the mind and strengthen the body, while improving your grit. If you want to have a life experience from a completely new perspective, do this!”
