Summer Camp for Grownups 2025
2025-07-12 16:00 - 2025-07-15 14:00 (America/New_York)
Why should kids have all the fun?

Many of us have found that the most lasting memories we have from childhood camp experiences are the relationships and connections that were forged in a unique setting while sharing new experiences together. With that in mind, the Summer Camp for Grown-Ups began at Shrine Mont in 2012 to give grown-ups an opportunity to make new connections and experience new things in a relaxing and special environment. Join us for our 14th year!
During programming times, we’ll meet with guest speakers in different Shrine Mont locations, depending on the topic. Free time activities may include: swimming, napping, “porching” with new friends, golf*, wine tasting/tours*, antique shopping*, hikes, reading a book, games– the choice is yours! All activities are optional and campers are welcome to spend time doing whatever you want to do to relax and enjoy all that Shrine Mont has to offer.

Walking the Wilderness of Cancer
2025-07-18 16:00 - 2025-07-20 14:00
A retreat for those who have or have had cancer and those who love them

A diagnosis and treatment of cancer can send us into the wilderness, whether we want to go there or not. During our weekend retreat, we’ll talk straight about our experiences of cancer and our experiences of God in the wilderness. In conversations, creative expressions, and worship, we’ll explore the biblical tradition of lamentation, discovering how our grief tills the barren ground in which hope and praise can take root and grow. Prayers of healing and hope will frame our weekend and bind us close to the beating heart of God.

Led by Bishop Susan Goff who is thriving after walking the wilderness of breast cancer during the pandemic, while she was leading the Diocese of Virginia. She is author of The Desert Shall Rejoice: Psalms from the Wilderness of Breast Cancer.

Rates (includes 2 nights lodging, 6 meals, and retreat activities)
Double Occupancy: $232 per person
Single Occupancy: $288 per person

Harvesting the Spirit- A Yoga Weekend
2025-09-12 16:00 - 2025-09-14 14:00
NEED TIME FOR RENEWAL?

This retreat is an invitation to come home to yourself and to reconnect to the inner “you” through yoga practice. This weekend will focus on slowing down, breathing and allowing ourselves to harvest our inner spirit and rhythm of our body. Our weekend will include restorative yoga, healing poses, expressive movement, and relaxation time, hiking and a bonfire.

Come join us at Shrine Mont located in the shadows of the Great North Mountain in the quaint village of Orkney Springs.

Instructors
Joanne Lind is a 200 hour Yoga Instructor trained in Baptiste Power Yoga, and also teaches restorative yoga. She is co-owner at Dudley’s 263 House with Pamela White. You will find her yoga style somewhat unique. She is trained in vinyasa yoga and there is a touch of that in her classes. A bit of restorative/yin yoga will be added to each class. Most of her classes probably move a bit slower than others you may have experienced because she finds the breathing exercises incredibly beneficial and the slower moving classes seem more conducive to the healing aspect that all yoga provides.

Rates: (include two nights lodging, six meals and related conference and yoga fees):
Double occupancy: $349 per person
Single occupancy:$409 per person

Float into Fall by Slowing Down with Yoga and Reiki
2025-10-03 16:00 - 2025-10-05 14:00
The Art of Slowing Down

Unwind this fall and prepare yourself for a cozy winter by truly slowing down. With nature as a guide, you’re invited to let things go and reconnect within via yoga, breathwork, and mindful movement.* Guided meditation and yoga nidra, workshops, group conversation, and journaling practices deepen your journey. Individual 20-minute massage or energy medicine sessions are an added treat.**

Come join us in the stunning natural beauty and quiet of this unique mountain sanctuary. Shrine Mont is a step back to a slower-paced time, with its quaint, clapboard houses, vast hiking trails, and homestyle southern cuisine. (Chefs can also accommodate vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free diets). You’ll have ample time over the weekend to rest, read, and wander the woods–-or do whatever your heart desires.
* Movement practices aim to be accessible to all
**Due to time, only the first 20 registered attendees can be guaranteed a treatment

Highlights Include:

Three days of gentle, hatha yoga and mindful movement
Individual massage or energy medicine sessions
Deep guided meditation
Hiking and nature connection/forest bathing
A bonfire in the woods
The leaves of the Shenandoah Valley in fall
Good food, company, and connection

Lisen (RYT 500, Reiki Level II), your facilitator for the weekend, has been leading retreats at Shrine Mont since 2019, and this fall retreat is her absolute favorite to lead. She is a yoga and meditation teacher, holistic health educator, somatics practitioner, and Mind Body Coach based in Harrisonburg, VA. She returned with her family to the Shenandoah Valley almost 10 years ago, after years of working in education and nonprofit work abroad. Her passions include literature, travel, holistic health, time in nature, and community building, along with ample time spent with family and friends.
Charlotte practices Stone Medicine, a traditional indigenous wellness modality which builds holistic health through hot/chilled stone massage, aromatherapy, sound healing, and healing touch. She is a certified teacher of Stone Medicine, as well. She is also a visual artist and previously worked in mental health, trauma-healing, and peacebuilding. This background allows her to provide trauma-informed care and safe space in her private practice, Wild Poppy Healing Arts. She lives outside Harrisonburg, VA with her family and enjoys gardening (including native gardens), hiking, yoga, and writing her blog.
