Aldermarsh Retreat in November 2025

with Jodi Boone, Scott Francis, Maria Gehl

Aldermarsh Retreat

November 19 - 23, 2025

Step away from the pressures and responsibilities of daily life and return to yourself in the serene embrace of nature. Join us for a deeply nourishing, all-inclusive retreat on beautiful Whidbey Island at Aldermarsh, a peaceful sanctuary nestled between forest, marshland, and open sky.

Over five days and four nights, we’ll gather for yoga, meditation, sound healing, and breathwork practices all intended to ground your body, quiet your mind, and reconnect you to your inner wisdom.

Between sessions, enjoy nourishing meals, time to rest, walks in nature, and the soothing warmth of the on-site sauna and hot-tub. Whether you’re seeking personal renewal, deeper spiritual connection, or meaningful community, this retreat offers space to soften, release, and realign with what matters most.

Give yourself the precious gift of retreat, where you can renew, rest, and heal. During the retreat, you will be held be three experienced and caring teachers.

 

“From time to time, it is good to remind ourselves to relax and be peaceful, we may wish to set aside some time for a retreat, a day of mindfulness, when we can walk slowly, smile, drink tea with a friend, enjoy being together as if we are the happiest people on Earth.” 

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

OUR CHEFS

In 2018 Jacob and Madi met working at one of the most renowned fine-dining vegan/vegetarian restaurants in Seattle, where they both fell in love with the art of vegan/ vegetarian cooking and the wonderful produce the Pacific Northwest has to offer. There, they gained a combined 12 years experience in the culinary world of mindful eating and learned the intricacies of many allergy based diets; with Jacob acting as the Sous Chef and Madi as the front of house lead and prep cook. Since then, their passion for cooking and sharing the values of conscious cooking has only grown.
