Homecoming: A Mindfulness Journey to Your Truest Self
September 20-26, 2026
Feathered Pipe Ranch in Helena, Montana
A week-long immersion in mindfulness in a setting that invites your heart to open and inspires joy and connection - to yourself and to those that share this beautiful journey with you.
Homecoming: A Mindfulness Journey to Your Truest Self
There’s nothing quite like the archetypal feeling of coming home.
This retreat invites you to return — to yourself, to presence, to what matters most.
Join David and Augusta Kantra for a week of mindfulness and embodied practices designed to guide you home in the most powerful and compassionate ways. Drawing from their decades of experience as therapists, mindfulness teachers, and yoga instructors, they weave together a rich tapestry of practices that support you in slowing down and reconnecting with your truest self — a homecoming worthy of celebration.
Through mindful movement, journaling, contemplation, and meditation, you’ll explore what gives your life meaning, what stands in the way of living fully, and how to cultivate greater engagement, joy, and purpose.
All practices are accessible to everyone; no prior experience is necessary. What is required, however, is simply a sincere curiosity to look within, connect with others, and explore what it truly means to live mindfully.
For one sacred week at Feathered Pipe Ranch, where every detail is crafted with care and every meal, sunrise, and shared silence nourishes the soul, you’ll find yourself surrounded by nature and by kindred spirits — people who, like you, are longing to live more mindful and wholehearted lives. You’ll be guided by leaders who have devoted their lives to cultivating presence, connection, and purpose. Together, these ingredients create a retreat experience that will leave you seeing more clearly, feeling more deeply, and returning to your life with renewed enthusiasm and heart.
Come home… to presence, to peace, and to the truest version of yourself.

What a tremendous gift to all of us, and we are each changed and fortified with vitality and renewed vision. Thank you both, for making the world a safer and richer place.

Wow! I showed up to celebrate Tom’s 60th not knowing many details about the week, David and Augusta, or the focus of the retreat. What a surprise to encounter such a beautiful community being guided by two embodied and inspiring souls! In a situation where I might feel insecure or doubt myself, I felt welcome and accepted and truly felt part of the beautiful Fairhope community. It was a perfect blend of movement, teaching and free time in one of the most beautiful settings. David and Augusta, thank you for the time, effort and thoughtfulness that went into creating such a lovely experience for each of us. I left feeling centered and calm by the teaching, movement, and community. I look forward to future opportunities to work with you both and experience the beautiful community you have built.
Thank you and Namaste!

Augusta & David, You both are such amazing people and together, you're even better. I took a leap of faith and I was rewarded in ways you may never know. The friendships, breakthroughs, quiet moments, fantastic natural surroundings, and your teachings led me just where I needed to be.
Thank you so much.
I bow to you both!
