How you arrange a roommate(s) depends on the following.

I know the roommate(s) I wish to stay with.
One of you will be the registered name and financial contact with the YMCA, responsible for paying the 35% registration fee up front, and the full lodging fees at check-in. Independently, you arrange for lodging payment among yourselves. The financial agreement is between you and your selected roommate(s).

I am looking for a roommate(s).
Join our Facebook Event to coordinate with other attendees. Post your in our Facebook Event that you are looking for a roommate(s).

Also, if you are looking for a roommate, please fill out this form. Within 24 hours of filling out the form, you will be emailed access to a Response Spreadsheet where you may reach out to other individuals who have indicated that they would like to share a room.

Our 4-day Samudra Shakti retreat offers over 27 hours of formal workshop time including meditation, asana, philosophy, music and more.  As well, our retreat is structured with ample free time for you to enjoy hikes, specialty crafts, games, quiet time for reflection, and gatherings. Choose your level of participation in the subjects that thrill you. Each day, craft your perfect retreat experience based on how you are feeling. You are free to choose. All offerings (except Intensives) are included with your “Retreat” ticket. 

You may also choose to participate in an “Intensive” within our Samudra Shakti “Retreat” program. Intensives offer additional concentrated study in one of our specialty topics with master teachers who have honed their specialty over decades of dedicated study and teaching.

No, you do not need to sign up for each individual session you would like to attend on our 4-day yoga Retreat. You have the freedom to pick and choose each day what you want to do based on how you feel. Our meeting spaces have ample room.

Great idea!  Please contact Madhuri Martin by email. She will send you a link to add and pay the additional up charge for the Intensive you desire.

Your Estes Park YMCA lodging includes all your meals. It’s a hard deal to beat as off-site lodging in Estes Park can be expensive. As well, food establishments outside of the YMCA require additional time and travel.

To make your retreat experience easy and stress-free, we encourage you to stay on-site at the Estes Park YMCA. 

All rooms in the YMCA’s Wind River Lodge are spacious, mountain rustic, hotel-style with two queen beds, a full bath and a private balcony with spectacular views. Watch this video to see what a typical room looks like at the Estes Park YMCA. Note: As of August 30, Wind River Lodge is full. Rooms are still available in Eagle Cliff Lodge.

Eagle Cliff Lodge is our economy, shared-rooms with up to 6 people per room and private ¾ baths. Choose what fits your budget. Lodging details can be found on our YMCA lodging page.

Samudra Shakti will emphasize our confluence (Samudra), our coming together to build a strong, passionate community of like-minded hearts. The conference has a lot of scheduled, “community time.” The connections built by staying on site, networking, mingling, creating relationships and co-participation, is the reason we are coming together. We strongly encourage you to arrange your lodging at the YMCA.

If you choose to stay off-site, you will be charged an additional $25 per day ($100 total) which is the YMCA required day-use fee.

We have an awesome “Welcome Guide” that will answer all your pre-travel, travel, and on-site logistics questions. Check it out!
