Feathered Pipe

Feathered Pipe ~ America's finest health, wellness and yoga retreats and travel ~ Carlos Nakai – to name only a few – are honored alumni of the Feathered Pipe.

The Feathered Pipe Ranch is one of the country’s premier yoga and conscious living retreat centers. Tucked in the heart of the Montana Rockies and surrounded by miles of forested mountains, it is a vibrant and peaceful oasis to which our guests return eagerly year after year – inevitably leaving the Ranch feeling recharged and relaxed – and counting the days until they can again return. The Ranch has been home to yoga and meditation retreats and a host of other personal growth programs since 1975, helping people experience our wholeness and remember our intimate connection to all of life. Many of today’s foremost voices on yoga, meditation, wellness and health have come through our doors at one time or another, with many of them getting their start as a student through our scholarship fund. Joseph Campbell, Dr. Andrew Weil, Lilias Folan, Angela Farmer, Rodney Yee, Patricia Walden, Erich Schiffmann, Judith Hanson Lasater, Seane Corn, and world-renowned Native American flutists, R. The Ranch is nestled amidst almost a million acres of national forestland and offers an ideal setting for true retreat experience, allowing the space within and without to experience the essence of one’s self and nature. Visitors can wander alone exploring ambling brooks fed by pure mountain springs and discover open vistas to view the world below and the Big Sky above. Ranch retreat visitors can just as easily find community with others, sitting on the open lawn in the shade of cottonwood trees, quaking aspens, and fragrant pine with an exquisite view out over the lake with Lake Tipi and mountain woodlands reflected. Horseback riding is available for those wishing to view the world from a truly Montanan point of view.

“As we chew our food, we also choose our future. Yet how casually we perform this miracle of transformation! The way we eat is the basis of how we feel, how we look and what we achieve. And perhaps more than anything else we do, it has profound ecological and social impact on the entire planet.”

Laughing Water’s words ring true more than ever today as our world continues to move in a direction of convenience rather than intention.

"Just being around other steady, calm bodies helps my own body settle. Connection becomes more available, not because I push for it, but because I’m held in a field that supports it. This is the power of community. This is the power of sangha."

As more of our learning and lives shift online, here’s why in-person experiences matter more than ever.

"Instead of fear-based cueing and broadly overused alignment cues, let’s talk about how to adapt yoga to each individual. Let’s include a real discussion of risk in that conversation, and acknowledge how that’s influenced by our expectations of yoga."

Instead of fear-based alignment cues, let’s talk about how to adapt yoga to each individual and have a real discussion of risk.

"We are tumbling through a rough initiation. Radical alterations are occurring in our inner and outer landscapes. It is simultaneously deeply personal and wildly collective, binding us to one another."

There are times in life when the continent of certainty parts underfoot and, as the ash cloud of the old world rains darkness upon us, we are asked to swim in the rivers of lava that will make the …

"We open our hearts, our breath and our minds by creating that gesture of surrender back to a more vulnerable, real state of existence where we can set down our guard for a moment. From there, the sky is really the limit as to what we can experience. In this state of openness what is really important can finally become clear. "

A knowing that we are held in a divine grace that is bigger than anything we could fathom. Something we are constantly trying to tap into.

“But we don’t yet appreciate the delight that comes from simplicity. Some of our poets, people like Whitman and all, have described it, but we’ve never really bought it yet.

We really don’t understand that in that simplicity lies a space in which one can plumb one’s own depths of being and appreciate that who you are is an entity that has taken birth, that is passing through a series of experiences, all of which are useful in order to awaken to one’s deeper self.” – Ram Dass

In this 1970s interview, Ram Dass sits down with psychologist Daniel Goleman to discuss why people aren’t happier, the power of meditation, and the delight of simplicity. This episode of ... More...

"InnSæi is an Icelandic concept that poetically captures the nature of intuition and how to cultivate it. InnSæi has three meanings: ‘the sea within’ (your unconscious); ‘to see within’ (self-awareness); and ‘to see from the inside out’ (a strong inner compass)."

In uncertain times, an Icelandic concept can help you reconnect with your intuition and follow your inner compass
