Mindfulness Retreats in the United States

Feeling the need to slow down and breathe a little deeper? I know that feeling well. Whenever I start to feel overwhelmed or disconnected, I’ve found that stepping away—really stepping away—makes all the difference. These mindfulness retreats in the United States have helped me reset, recharge, and reconnect with myself in the most peaceful ways. If you’re craving stillness, I think you’ll find these places just as healing.

Highlights:

• I found deep stillness during silent retreats in the redwoods at Spirit Rock in California—it’s a powerful place to just be.
• You’ll feel grounded by nature-based mindfulness programs in the mountains of Vermont. I left feeling lighter and clearer than I had in months.
• I’ve soaked up desert energy and healing practices in Sedona, Arizona—yoga, breathwork, and those stunning red rock views are a beautiful combination.
• If you’re open to monastic simplicity, I highly recommend the Insight Meditation Society in Massachusetts. Zen meditation here taught me a lot about slowing down.
• You can unplug completely at oceanfront wellness centers in Big Sur. I’ve done a digital detox there, and the clarity that comes from it is hard to describe—but unforgettable.
