My sister and I went to Retreat in the Pines to reconnect and rebuild our relationship. We left there with a bond that’s stronger than ever! Debbie was our retreat leader and she is absolutely AMAZING! It was quiet, peaceful and very relaxing. Angel was our chef and she made sure we were never hungry and prepared wonderful food. There was yoga and meditation and I loved that we had a schedule to follow. There was also a lot of good conversation with the group of ladies. I definitely recommend this retreat for anyone who needs to recharge and reconnect.

This was such an amazing experience! I came without any expectations and received more than I could have hoped for. Our leader for the wknd was Dayna and she is such a gem and a sweet & genuine soul. The connection with self and the other ladies on the retreat along with all of the activities was very grounding and revitalizing. Will be back again for sure.

I just returned from the most incredible retreat at Retreat in the Pines July 21-23, 2023. I had been feeling like I needed a getaway, and my therapist agreed! I was nervous at first because I'd never been to a retreat before, and wouldn't know anyone there, but this place turned out to be an incredible reset for me and I departed feeling rested and whole. Dayna was our retreat leader, and she made us all feel welcome and SEEN. She has great energy and you can tell she loves her work there. The days were perfectly paced with yoga and mindfulness classes, an incredibly nurturing massage by Jan with the magic hands and best energy, easy heartfelt conversations with wonderful women who all were seeking peace and healing, outstanding healthy beautiful food, snacks, coffee, tea, and wine, comfortable cozy accommodations, free time for reading or napping in a hammock in the pines, a healing "letting go" ceremony, lots of laughter and a few healing tears. We also learned how to make our own essential oil bath salts/scrubs and sprays to take home with us. I appreciated the little extra touches such as the provided organic EO body care products, and love also that they are environmentally conscious and provided recycling, and even compost for their garden. Chef Angelic incorporated fresh herbs from this garden to season the scrumptious meals she created for us as well as sourcing vegetables and breads from local vendors which says a lot about her talents and this place, as well. I loved everything about this place and everyone I got to meet and share this experience with. I'm so glad I made the big decision to go. I will definitely be back! Thank you for everything.

Such an amazing place to reset and heal. The food is wonderful, the cabins are clean and beautiful, the grounds are peaceful and enchanting. My yoga instructor, Dayna, was fun, welcoming, knowledgeable, and such a light. This was exactly what I was looking for in a yoga retreat, a good balance of meditation, physical activities, social interactions, time for self reflection, beautiful nature, and delicious food. I went home very relaxed and grateful.

Wonderful experience! Seriously, one of the best retreat centers I have been to in Texas. Great staff, wonderful food, beautiful accommodations, great yoga, and peaceful surroundings. The retreats are intimate and life-giving. Definitely go, you won't be sorry.

I attended a mindfulness retreat with my mom. It was such a nice, intimate gathering of nine women. Michelle facilitated very nourishing mindfulness, yoga and reflective discussions. Chef Darla prepared the most delicious and farm fresh food and fed us with her stories as well! The accommodations are simple, cozy and clean. We did have to share a bathroom between four people, but for only two days, this wasn’t a big deal. I think one great addition would be a longer walking trail on the property, but otherwise there were plenty of hammocks or other spots for sitting, journaling or meditating. The setting is beautiful and peaceful.

Wonderful place to go and unwind, be with nature and a nurturing group of women, forest, food, yoga and relaxation. Easy 4 hr drive from Houston, 2 hr drive from dallas/ft worth. Recommend!

I had an such an exceptional experience this past weekend at Retreat in the Pines and was glad to have met awesome woman that shared the experience with me. The food was amazing and the accommodations were charming. Our retreat leader, Michelle was outstanding as she gently guided us every step of the way during our yoga/meditation sessions. I left feeling refreshed and ready to concur the world...or at least Texas! I will definitely go back

I am grateful that I have been able to go to Retreat in the Pines annually, for 7 years now. The food is fabulous. The cabins are beautiful. This is a space to connect with others as well as reconnect with yourself. You leave with a wonderful balance of both, energy and calm. It is truly a magical place.

I had the BEST time with Theresa and Chris this weekend. Theresa was a generous host and Chris was such an awesome instructor and guide. The ladies I met were amazing. I felt accepted and a part of a supportive tribe.

I came here to get away from daily responsibilities and focus on myself and gain solitude. This was exactly what I came for. The property was spacious and serene, the accommodations were simple and clean ( with exceptions of hammocks which need replacing ) and most of all the yoga, women and food were fantastic. I'm recommending this retreat for many of my yogi friends and hope to return. Thank you for replenishing me!

Rooms were very cramped. Cabin was freezing the entire weekend. Hope that you do not get stuck in the bunk beds for the weekend as they are very uncomfortable.
