MYPATH to Purpose
more than a yoga festival... more than a retreat

"True yoga is not about the shape of your body, but the shape of your life. Yoga is not to be performed; yoga is to be lived. Yoga doesn't care about what you have been; yoga cares about the person you are becoming. Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose, and for it to be truly called yoga, its essence must be embodied." - Aadil Palkhivala

We call MYPATH "more than a yoga festival and more than a yoga retreat" because it brings together the wonderful aspects of both – uniquely combining the structure of a festival with the intimacy of a retreat. 

As our yoga journey deepens, we find that Yoga is a way of living… a way of being. When everything you do is supportive of your Yoga practice, then everything you do becomes Yoga. Building a fire, eating, dancing, singing, laughing… this can all be Yoga, doing whatever you do, acting from your center.

Immerse yourself in yoga, meditation, camping, music, nature, good food, and fellowship, at Terrapin Hill Farm in Harrodsburg, Kentucky.

Classes/Workshops:

While each MYPATH event is likely to include some of the classes such as the ones mentioned above, they are also each unique, with a rotating roster of instructors chosen to present their particular specialty. During the scheduled workshop times you'll have a choice of classes to choose from, and many are repeated throughout the weekend so you have the chance to participate in almost every one. The classes will tie together a particular theme - past themes have been Freedom, Growth, Healing, Transformation, Awareness, Awaken, Roots - and each is tied to the energies of the spring or fall season. You are invited to reflect upon the theme throughout the weekend and relate it to your personal journey.

Mealtimes and Free Time:

There is plenty of time to relax and provide sustenance for your body included in the schedule. Campers may want to bring their own food and cooking supplies; small campfires and camp stoves are welcome. If you choose not to cook for yourself, there will be food vendors on site offering healthy meals, snacks and beverages at reasonable prices, always including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.

Please keep in mind you are not required to attend a class each session – if you need the time to chill please do so! There are hiking trails, woods, fields, and riverbanks to explore, plus horses and dogs that love attention. You'll always find someone interesting to talk to, and if you are deep in a conversation feel free to skip that next class (being sensitive to any quiet classes being held nearby). Be sure to visit the vendors during your free time, too!

Catered Meal provided by Terrapin Hill Farm:

Saturday evening, a group catered meal will be provided and is included in the ticket price. Chef Judy will create a dinner especially for this event using organic ingredients grown and raised on Terrapin Hill Farm and other local farms. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options will be available. This is a wonderful time to enjoy the camaraderie of new friends... and immediately following the Saturday dinner there will be live music and dancing!

Camping:

Camping is included in the ticket price. There are many campsites throughout the venue, in open fields or in the woods - be up close to the action or further away if you wish. Flush toilets and hot showers are provided. RV sites with water and electric hookups are also available. **For some events we are offering Glamping site through The Pop-Up BNB, see details on the ticket page. In case you forget anything the on-site General Store offers ice and some camping supplies. Not a camper? TheEcono-Lodge and Quality Inn are just 15-20 minutes away in Harrodsburg. The Coleman House B&B and the Beaumont Inn are other great options for places to stay in town.

Vendors/Healing Arts:

You'll have the opportunity to shop for fun things like activewear, jewelry, yoga props, essential oils, crystals, artwork, and lots of other great items to enhance your yoga/spiritual practice or just to enjoy as mementos of a wonderful weekend. There are usually several different healing arts modalities and spiritual readings offered.

Music:

Each night there will be a community bonfire and some form of musical entertainment! Friday night there is usually an open mic, so if you sing, play or like to read poetry, be sure to sign up on the registration form. Saturday night we bring in a local band for dancing and fun, and there are always late night drum circles. Some of the classes feature live music as well.

Community:

You'll spend the whole weekend with people who share your interests, passions, ideals... and will most likely leave with a number of new friends. Many participants make connections that further their careers in the healing arts. MYPATH has been called the place where "healers are healed", but it is also very open to people from all walks of life who simply feel called to further themselves along their own Path.
