Arrive at Lake Tahoe, where our Local Insider will meet you for a welcome drink and introduce you to the rest of the group at 3pm. They will accompany you throughout the trip. This will be followed by an opening ceremony from an expert meditation instructor. Afterwards, tuck into a family-style dinner at the hotel.

The next morning, enjoy a hearty breakfast at the hotel before settling down for your first session, an introduction to meditation. After a calm start to the day, it’s time to lace up your hiking boots and hit the trails with an energizing hike through the local area. You’ll have the afternoon (including lunch and dinner) to yourself – head down to nearby Commons Beach or explore Tahoe City. Come nightfall, a campfire awaits with s’mores ready to toast on the fire. Local naturalist Tara Hostnik will lead a stargazing meditation ritual to close the day.

Your third day will start with a rejuvenating yin yoga session by the lake, taking in expansive views of the Sierra Nevada mountains. This will set you up for a morning meditation session. Lunch at a local restaurant will follow, before free time in the afternoon. Kick back in the hotel hot tub or get to know your fellow travelers over a craft beer in the bar. Regroup in the early evening for a sunset cruise and celebratory farewell dinner on a vintage, art deco-style wooden boat on Lake Tahoe.

It’s time to say farewell, but before you leave you’ll have time for breakfast and a guided closing ceremony. Pack your bags, wave goodbye to the rest of the group and start the journey home by 11am.
