Coyote Yurt Retreat
Tucked deep in the Idaho backcountry, Coyote Yurt offers a rare chance to slow down and live simply—surrounded by alpine air, open skies, and miles of wild terrain. This remote yurt becomes our shared refuge for five days of movement, rest, music, and meaningful connection. Days will be spent on the trails and evenings of nourishing meals, music, and conversation by firelight.
Learn more about the yurt.
Your guides for this experience are Preston Slaughter and Kelsey Brown—co-founders of Awaken Retreats and certified backcountry leaders with years of wilderness experience. Together, they blend trauma-informed yoga, mindful movement, and outdoor leadership to create safe and transformative adventures in nature.

Picture this: You’ve just stepped out of the wood-fired sauna, steam rising off your skin as the crisp mountain air hits you and you take in the vast wilderness, stretching wide and silent in every direction. As you walk back toward the yurt, you catch the sound of soft laughter inside and the scent of warm ramen simmering on the stove. You are completely removed from the noise of your modern life and you feel fully, vibrantly ALIVE…
