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.

Farm to Table Nourishment
Savor the bounty of Montana’s rich soil. Nourishment isn’t just about sustenance but an experience of connecting deeply with the land. Each day, guests will be treated to farm-to-table meals, meticulously crafted by a Dancing Spirit Ranch’s private chef. Drawing inspiration and ingredients directly from the ranch’s flourishing garden, every breakfast, lunch, and dinner becomes a culinary celebration of the freshest and most wholesome produce Montana has to offer.
Daily Meditation
Deepen your inner connection through mindful practices. Each day at the ranch will be a purposeful journey into the self. Our retreat will seamlessly blend daily meditation sessions with introspective journaling, allowing participants to not only experience profound stillness but also to articulate and reflect on their innermost thoughts and discoveries. For those eager to expand their meditation repertoire, we’ll introduce innovative techniques, ensuring every individual finds a practice that resonates deeply with them. And to further enhance this journey of self-awareness and relaxation, we will offer restorative and yin yoga classes, curated to gently open the body and align the spirit. It’s more than just a retreat; it’s a holistic approach to well-being.
Glacier National Park Hike
Embark on an unforgettable journey through Glacier’s Wilderness! As part of our retreat, participants will have the exclusive opportunity to experience Glacier National Park like never before with a guided hike led by Glacier Guides Montana. With their expert knowledge, participants will traverse hidden trails, uncover secrets of the park’s flora and fauna, and immerse themselves in the breathtaking vistas that make Glacier a crown jewel of the natural world. This isn’t just a hike—it’s an intimate communion with nature, ensuring memories and lessons that will last a lifetime.
