The simple, unspoiled beauty and atmosphere of Bald Eagle State Park is the perfect place for a True Nature Retreat. With almost 6,000 acres covered with forests, creeks, lakes and trails, it's easy to step away from "to do" lists and deeply benefit from this time away. We will connect as a community with regular classes in gentle to moderate yoga, meditation and Self-Breema, all as the core support for being in this beautiful place.
The Nature Inn is a lakeside lodge nestled within Bald Eagle State Park, located right in the center of Pennsylvania. The inn offers state-of-the-art event facilities at an environmentally responsible, LEED Gold certified property. You'll appreciate the natural light and expansive views of FJ Sayers Lake, regular classes close to your room, and easy access to countless hiking trails in every direction.
Meals
The Nature Inn has a full menu of options, includging vegetarian, meat, and fish. Dietary restrictions can be accomodated as well. We've eaten there on private retreats of our own and have always found a variety of delicious and nutritious choices for our whole family. You can learn more and see regular menus here or read the sample menu below.

Co-Owners & Creators of
True Nature Holistic Retreats
Dave and Alana are on a mission to support balance and harmony in the world. Since 2010, they have led hundreds of people on retreats, at their center in rural Ohio (now moving to northeast Ohio) and around the world -- providing transformational and practical experiences to bring change into people's lives. They have seen again and again how important this work is to each individual and to society at large. Their retreats are always based in nature and always in support of your True nature. With many decades of training and practice in their chosen paths, they bring insight and wisdom to each retreat, while remaining down-to-earth friends and guides. See their individual bios here.
Bring a Loved-One
As always, we would be glad to meet your friends who wish to join in our retreat -- and we would be equally happy if you'd like to bring a friend, spouse/partner, and/or family members (children are welcome) who aren't joining in our classes and group activities. You will have plenty of free time to connect with your loved-one outside of class and he or she can choose whatever activity is best during that time.
Our Retreat Mission
All of our retreats are centered in nature, and this has two meanings. The first is that we go away from cities and sink into quieter places surrounded by trees and plants and oftentimes mountains and rivers as well. We choose vibrant natural settings that are springing with life where we celebrate the unique bounty of each location and help participants become receptive to the healing medicine of retreating in nature. The second reason we chose the name True Nature refers to what some traditions call our True nature. This is the essential self we all can come back to, but which gets lost or feels distant as we become so involved in life "in the world," taking care of whatever is on our plates, and sometimes feeling like we do not actually experience life. On retreat, we go in so we can go back out. We teach practices that reconnect us to our True natures, so we can begin to bring that lightness and meaningfulness back into the world - including the world of our daily lives.
