Heather planned everything so well and updated the itinerary as needed. The entire trip was well thought out, from the hikes to the adventures to each amazing restaurant! I wasn't sure what to expect as far as what I would get out of this retreat, and what I did get was so much more than I could have expected! This trip was life changing! I made some amazing new life long friends! I highly recommend this retreat for everyone!

This trip so so amazing and transformative. Knowledgeable guides and host. I learned so much and enjoyed it all. I left Sedona with such a sense of peace and happiness. Heather, from Kelpytown, is a beautiful person and ensured our needs were met. I highly recommend.

Kelpytown Kove is everything it presents online and So. Much. More! After my first retreat, I added it to my self care routine /requirements.

I had a great time. Great food and wonderful fellowship. Heather was so knowledgeable and organized. Every day I knew what to expect. I learned a lot at my first meditation retreat. I would definitely attend another Kelpytown Cove retreat.

OH MY GOSH ! So pampered from the moment I arrived! Soft lights, wind chimes, fluttering ties, and a Buddha statue line the path leading to our accommodations: huge bell tents overlooking the Black River with 2-3 cots each, cushioned with a memory foam mattress, topped with plush blankets; twinkling fairy lights adorn the walls and ceiling while a small adorned table held a personalized journal, a tapestry bag with small items for personal use, and a vase of fresh flowers. There also lay upon the beds a delicate soft shawl for your shoulders in the cool evenings when you ventured to the bathrooms, just a few steps away. The newly built bathrooms (2 of them) featured a walk in shower with hand held and rain shower heads, assorted towels & hamper for soiled ones, chargers for cell phones all in a brightly painted and lit room. Other luxuries include a 6 person hot tub, an ice bath, a sauna, use of the kayaks and life vests, multiple benches and Adirondack chairs spaced around the property while overlooking the river. The wonderful outdoor kitchen and dining area, covered by a pavilion, are again by the riverside with an open adjoining deck complete with several chairs and tables. All of this was available to us during our time before and after morning and afternoon sessions. And not to forget the circular firepit with chairs and benches for the bonfire. The workshop itself was wonderful, thought provoking, reflective, and fun. The presenters were intuitive and knowledgeable, easily guiding us into a relaxed state of being. The sound bath was phenomenal!! We bonded easily and created a safe space to be vulnerable, silly, open & respectful to all no matter our "herstory" and backgrounds. We acknowledged our fears and weaknesses and reclaimed and embraced our feminine strengths and beauty. To add to the celebration we were indulged with home made breakfasts each morning of 6-8 choices, fresh fruits, teas and coffee throughout the days ,and a fabulous 6 course meal catered by a private chef and his assistant who delighted us with his knowledge of local food and friendly banter. To say this was an AMAZING weekend only begins to speak to the intention and work put forth by the presenters!! I have been to both Kripalu Center in Massachusetts and Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY. Kelpytown Kove, being smaller, is able to add a dimension of pampering and personalization that I have seldom experienced elsewhere. Kelpytown Kove is now added to my list of favorite retreats!!! And it's located right here in rural Lewis County, NY !
