Montana Retreat (Sept 2026) only has a few spots left.
Hooked On A Feeling: Connecting to the Heart Through Yoga, Mindfulness and Guided Reflections
21-27 September 2025
Feathered Pipe Ranch - Helena, Montana
Remember feeling free as a bird and light as a feather? Well, this retreat on the sacred grounds of Feathered Pipe Ranch is designed to bring that feeling back.
There is no greater gift one can give oneself than the gift of time and kind attention. This retreat will be a chance to re-engage with the essence of who you are; a chance to slow down to the speed of nature, to unplug, to explore and discover what it means to live wholeheartedly. We, David and Augusta Kantra, have been teaching mindfulness workshops, yoga trainings, and self-discovery groups for over 20 years. Join us to re-discover the being beneath all the doing.
Combining mindfulness, yogic philosophy, and movement – this will be a week of de-cluttering the mind, resting and rejuvenating the body, and stoking the fires of the heart and soul. The practices we include will be accessible to everyone. There will be time for teachings, meditation, journaling, guided reflections, and movement (asana, restorative yoga, qi gong) all within a safe and nurturing environment.
Another important component of this retreat will be time to just BE – time to settle, to rest, to connect with others and with nature, and time to integrate new learnings and heart opening perspectives.
The gift of retreat is not as much a luxury as it is an essential part of coming home to ALL of who you are.
Give yourself, and the world, the gift of YOU.
We have held retreats in amazing places like Spain, Italy, Mexico, and Sonoma, California, but this is our first time coming to the sacred land of Feathered Pipe. We felt pulled to this place and are excited to teach here and share this amazing experience with you. Join us!

If you want to go deeper, find peace with stillness and quiet, we enthusiastically encourage you to attend a retreat with David and Augusta Kantra. We love how they weave mindfulness exercises into enjoyment of the natural settings with meditation, hiking, yoga and opportunities for guided reflection. Their program helped us deepen our mindfulness practices in thoughtful and heart provoking ways.

The knowledge and insight I have gained from these retreats, along with the needed refueling and relaxation, are exactly what I need when taking a week away from life. Augusta and David are authentic and create an environment for connection with other participants and for me to dive deeper in my life journey. If you have the opportunity to sign up for a retreat---Do It! Ann Arens
Pushing the pause button to travel and learn with the Kantras allowed me the space for my thoughts to catch up with me. In those moments growth happens in leaps and bounds, and an awareness of how beautiful this life is shines through.
Best gift you can give yourself. - Susan McCool
