RETREAT TO THE VALLEY
Mind and body shifting journeys into the wilderness
Bliss & Stars retreats rejuvenate through nature immersion, movement, mindfulness practices, and healthy cuisine.
You slow down and relax as your mind becomes calmer and you gain more clarity.
Our food is naturally delicious. We serve vegetarian and plant-based meals that balance your body and mind. We also accommodate special requests and cater to a wide range of dietary needs and tastes.
Staying at Bliss & Stars is just like being at home but with the boundless beauty of the wilderness just outside your door. We make sure that you have all the comforts of home including fine natural bedding, solar-powered electricity, hot water, luxury bathrooms, pampering natural care products, and a daily laundry service.
We host small groups of no more than 10 people so that we have time to give each guest the care and attention they need.
