The 8th Annual Life Itself Chaga Foraging Retreat

November 6th-9th, 2026 | Bridgewater, Vermont

The heart of the home. Massive 3-story stone fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows to let the Vermont sunshine in.

We are stoked to invite you to our 8th Annual Chaga Foraging Retreat! Join us deep in the heart of the Green Mountains for a long weekend filled with wild-foraging, yoga, meditation, mindful ceremonies, and the creation of core memories with a community of pure-hearted, like-minded people.

For nearly a decade, this retreat has surprised us every year with unpredictable magic, beautiful new connections, and endless belly laughs. We always encourage our participants to bring and share what they are passionate about, creating a rich tapestry of experiences where we all learn and grow together.

Your Home for the Weekend: "The Magical Cabin"

This year, we return to the sanctuary that holds some of our most special retreat memories. The Magical Cabin is a legendary 5,000 sq. ft. mountain home nestled on 10 acres of pristine Vermont wilderness. Surrounded by a majestic mountain range and a babbling brook, it is the ultimate base camp for our journey. When you aren't out foraging in the crisp autumn air, you can find stillness in the 22-foot seasonal teepee, soak under the stars in the 7-person hot tub, or gather around the massive stone hearth—the literal heartbeat of the home. (And for those moments of downtime, we're just a 5-minute walk from the world-famous Long Trail Brewery!)
