Hosting a Retreat with Us!

See our new retreat leader handbook here.

Dear Retreat Facilitators,

We want to let you know about upcoming changes at The Forest so that you can prepare your retreat marketing materials and groups accordingly.

We have been under new ownership for the past year and this change has been slowly brewing underneath. Starting December 2nd, 2023, we will finally assume a new identity as “Kawoq Forest”. 

Why the name change?, you might ask. After a beautiful decade of being known as the Yoga Forest, we have shifted ownership and are expanding our focus to emphasize the celebration and well-being of the land, the people and the cultures immediately around us. In light of this change, we are proud to share that the Yoga Forest will now be known as ‘Kawoq’ Forest, a Mayan word representing community healing and expanded consciousness. 

With this new name, we intend to hold the space as a living, breathing entity as it constantly grows and evolves. Yoga has been a lovely but limited lens for an ever-changing transformative space, thus, Kawoq Forest is an organic, expansive process and teaches us the joys of change, nature and authenticity.

With the new name, we have re-established the WHY we do what we do: Kawoq Forest stewards a place of great beauty that nurtures the human spirit, mind and body, empowers restoration and inspires creativity through transformational wellness experiences.

We hope you can embrace the change and update your retreat website pages and social media posts accordingly to reflect the new name and look of our brand. The photos we have shared with you are up to date and accurately reflect the space.

We will be updating your contracts with the small change of the name. We also will no longer be offering the complimentary services of a fire, sauna and plant bath for groups. It isn't viable for us and supporting our new vision as a sustainable sanctuary space, and we have updated the pricing for your group services here.

We will be honoring all accommodation and venue hire pricing that is included on your contracts.

Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns about these changes.

Our new website can be seen here: kawoqforest.com

Thank you so much and we look forward to hosting you!

The Yoga/Kawoq Forest Team
