About the Retreat
A sanctuary designed for transformation, grounded in science and nature.
Active Rest
Active Rest Retreat is built on a simple but powerful principle: transformation requires both action and rest. We don't believe in pushing yourself to exhaustion. Instead, we create a structured environment where active practices (yoga, breathwork, meditation) are balanced with deep rest and nervous system regulation.
Our signature offering, the Erie Cycle, combines sauna, cold plunge, and rest—a science-backed method for regulating your nervous system, releasing tension, and preparing your mind and body for deeper work.
Whether you're seeking a weekend reset or a deeper transformative experience, our retreats are designed to help you let go of what holds you back and step into lasting change.
