12-Step Recovery & Yoga Retreat: Awaken the Sober Goddess Within

Recovery is a lifelong journey, and it’s essential to pause, reconnect, and deepen our relationship with ourselves and our Higher Power. This transformative retreat is designed to support women in recovery by blending the power of yoga with the spiritual path of the 12 Steps. This spring, we’ll focus on Steps 4, 5, 6, and 7.

During this retreat, you will:
  • Strengthen your connection to your personal Higher Power
  • Heal and restore your body through gentle, all-level yoga and deep relaxation
  • Clear emotional and spiritual blocks through ancient teachings and guided meditations
  • Build meaningful relationships with fellow Sober Goddesses
  • Explore and demystify the spiritual dimensions of recovery
  • Cultivate a strong foundation in sobriety that supports lasting growth in every area of your life

Join International Yoga Teacher and Spiritual Mentor Kathy Holmes for this sacred gathering of sober women. Whether you’re new to the path or well along the journey, this retreat offers a spiritual reset to elevate your recovery and empower your daily life.

No yoga experience necessary.

This retreat is open to women in recovery who are committed to growing in sobriety.

Kathy’s book, Soberly Ever After, is now available on Amazon.

Retreat Center Highlights

Sacred Space
The Sri Vidya Shrine is the spiritual heart of the Himalayan Institute. This sanctuary offers an ideal setting for silent meditation and group spiritual practice, a cornerstone of the Himalayan Tradition for thousands of years. Open to seekers of all backgrounds and traditions, the Shrine provides a serene, sacred space for meditation, quiet reflection, prayer, and contemplation.
Nourishing Meals
Our nutritionally balanced vegetarian meals are thoughtfully prepared to nourish body, mind, and spirit. Each of our three daily meals is designed to be easily digestible and to support a meditative lifestyle. Sharing meals here naturally fosters connection, offering both deep nourishment and a sense of community.
Loving Community
The Himalayan Institute welcomes people from all walks of life. With a blend of short-term guests, long-term visitors, and a vibrant residential community, the atmosphere here is warm, inviting, and rooted in kindness, generosity, and service. It’s a place where friendships form naturally, often becoming the kind of connections that feel like family, and last a lifetime.
Rest in Nature
Nestled in the rolling hills of the Poconos, the Himalayan Institute’s 400-acre campus offers breathtaking views, scenic hiking trails, and quiet spaces for reflection and contemplation. Walking is a favorite activity, whether along our groomed trails or meandering paved roads, inviting both movement and mindful presence in nature.
Conscious Simplicity
At the Himalayan Institute, we embrace simplicity in all aspects of life, from our surroundings to our approach to yoga. By minimizing distractions, we create space to strengthen the inner self and quiet the mind. Guided by authenticity and grounded in philosophy rather than frills, we support a path of meaningful personal growth.
Treat Yourself
Our Himalayan Café serves the Institute’s signature chai, coffee, and homemade cookies and treats on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The 24/7 Tea Lounge offers a variety of herbal teas for anytime enjoyment. On campus, the MOKA Origins Factory is open daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., offering handcrafted, ethically sourced chocolate and coffee, with free tours and tastings on Saturdays.
