Wisdom and Wellbeing Weeks

We’re thrilled to share the 2025 Program Calendar for our annual Wisdom and Wellbeing Weeks with you!

Join us for our upcoming Winter learning program at Blue Spirit and enjoy inspiring classes with gifted teachers in one of the most beautiful settings in the world.

Every year since we opened our doors in 2009, we have been hosting weeklong multi-faculty retreats during which you can enjoy the unique blend of an inspiring learning community paired with the best of a restorative wellness vacation.

 

 

The Program

Choose from two different program styles:

Multi-Faculty Weeks
Have your choice of how many classes you’d like to attend or skip some in order to head to the beach, go horseback riding, book a massage or receive cutting edge treatments in our Longevity Center.

Intensive Study Weeks
During the Intensive Weeks you will study in-depth with one teacher in an intimate group setting to dive deep into a specific topic.

Multi Faculty Weeks

Learn from acclaimed teachers in a variety of daily workshops in your chosen week.
