Balance & Bonfire: a Summer Camp for Adults with an Ayurvedic Twist
Jun 19, 2025 - Jun 22, 2025

Remember the carefree days of summer camp? We're bringing that magic back—with a mindful, Ayurvedic upgrade. Join us for a four-day retreat that combines the nostalgic joy of summer camp (glamping-style) with the balancing wisdom of Ayurvedic practices.

Our Journey Back to Playful Wellness:

Thursday, June 19

Arrive and settle into your camp home. After dinner and our opening circle, we'll gather around the bonfire for connection and reimagined s'mores—both sweet and savory options to satisfy all doshas!

Friday, June 20

Greet the day with optional coffee or tea before morning yoga and a grounding walking meditation. Following a nourishing breakfast, dive into playful summer activities that awaken your inner child. After lunch, tap into your creativity with natural art-making workshops. As the sun sets on the summer solstice, we'll celebrate with a special dinner and ceremony.

Saturday, June 21

Experience a unique walking breakfast during our morning meditation. Then, surrender to the flow as we spend the day floating on the beautiful Niangua River, enjoying lunch on the water. Return to camp for dinner followed by restorative evening practices—gentle stretching and an immersive sound bath to harmonize your energy.

Sunday, June 22

Savor our final morning together with coffee or tea, a nourishing breakfast, and a thoughtful closing circle before we pack up, carrying our refreshed spirits back into the world.

What to Expect:

This retreat blends the best of summer camp nostalgia with Ayurvedic principles that help you find your natural balance. Whether you're floating down the river, creating art from nature, or gathering around the bonfire, each activity is designed to delight your senses while honoring your unique constitution.

There are 14 “glamping” spots available - registrants may choose a queen-sized bed to themselves for $577 or a shared bed space for $444. Note: all tents will hold 2-4 registrants; this Retreat is open to all genders, ages 18+. All meals, lodging, and floating are included. Feel free to bring extra snacks and any extra camping supplies that help you comfortable!

Come play, rest, and reconnect—to yourself, to nature, and to a community of like-minded souls seeking balance in an often unbalanced world.
