The Snow Moon, February’s full moon, reaches it’s peak on February 24. As the last full moon this winter, it is a powerful time for rest, reflection, and embracing some magic.
We hope you will join us for this 4-day/3-night winter retreat at the historic B Bar Ranch in Tom Miner Basin, just north of Yellowstone National Park. This retreat is centered around cross-country skiing, a Yellowstone National Park adventure, soaking in natural hot springs, and guided energetic, spiritual work and intention setting for the year ahead.
Your Hosts
We are thrilled to co-create this experience with these creative, passionate, wise women.
Kaycee Kalahar is a healer, creative, and owner of Folk Elements. She will be infusing the retreat with energetic intention and facilitating a half-day session that will help you call in what you desire for the year ahead. Kaycee will lead us in a full moon ceremony prior to skiing under the light of the full moon on Saturday night.

Group Size
We believe it is important to keep group size small to ensure we can fully experience the peace, quiet, and power of this special place. This also ensures you have plenty of time to connect with the hosts and each other. This retreat is limited to 11 guests.

The Location
The spectacular B Bar Ranch is the setting of this retreat. Nested beneath the 10,000 foot peaks that mark the northern boundary of Yellowstone National Park, the Tom Miner Basin is an ecological wonder. We will have exclusive use of the historic Main Lodge and two A-Frame cabins. B Bar grooms 20 kilometers of xc ski trails that accommodate skate and classic skiing, as well as 7 kilometers of backcountry trails.

Please contact us if you are coming with a spouse or friend and would like to share a bed - special pricing is available.
