Mindful Unplug Experience at Feathered Pipe Ranch

Mindful Unplug Experience is a week-long wellness retreat at Feathered Pipe Ranch, a retreat center outside Helena, Montana. It is held in summer, in the middle of the ranch's season of yoga and mindfulness programs, and is meant for people who want a stretch of time away from screens and routine in quiet mountain country.

The ranch describes itself as a retreat center set deep in the heart of Big Sky Montana's pristine nature. Its programs are open to every style and level of experience, and its teaching draws on hatha, Iyengar, restorative and vinyasa yoga, bhakti yoga, yoga nidra, yoga therapy, mindfulness and meditation, and shamanism and self-empowerment. Mindful Unplug sits within that tradition of practice and place, offered as one of the week-long gatherings on the ranch's summer calendar.

The Setting

Feathered Pipe Ranch is in Helena, Montana, in the northern Rockies, and the retreat takes its character from that landscape: open sky, mountain air and a long way from the pace of town. The ranch hosts a series of retreats each summer, each led by its own teacher or group, so Mindful Unplug shares the grounds with a community of practitioners who return to the ranch year after year.

Before You Go

The ranch welcomes all styles and levels of experience across its programs, so no particular background in yoga or meditation is described as a requirement. Registration for the summer season opens in the fall, and people who want early word can ask the ranch to notify them by email before it does.
