About the Experience

Let’s gather in the Windy City for a long weekend of yoga and good times at an incredibly swanky warehouse loft!

Megan and Melissa will be your teachers and guides for three days (and nights!) of Chi-town fun in the summer sun.

We’ll make new pals, practice in the park, and explore the city together before heading back to our funky nest to rest our feet and recharge each evening.

The three-day weekend retreat includes:

  • 3 Morning running tours of Logan Square, Bucktown, and Wicker Park

  • 3 Guided sunrise meditations upon waking up

  • Local coffee + light breakfast each AM

  • Daily yoga classes

  • 2 Workshops

  • Ample time to wander

  • Light lunches + snacks every afternoon

  • 3 Nights to hang at the funkiest loft in the entire city

  • 2 Optional dinners at 2 of Logan Square’s most popular restaurants

Need we mention how stellar Chicago nightlife is? Come on now. This retreat couldn’t get any cooler.

 

Our Accommodations

The Grand Kimball Lodge is filled with enormous windows, a large, open concept layout, and Wes Anderson-inspired decor. Enjoy all that vibrant Logan Square has to offer, then come back to The Grand Kimball Lodge to relax.

This 5 bedroom + indoor glamping tent and 4 bathroom pad comes equipped with 2 spacious kitchens and 2 separate living areas, so there's plenty of room for everyone to settle in and mellow out. Oh, and there’s an outdoor sauna!

Soak up the city surrounded by cheap eats and bike-friendly streets, gourmet coffee, scruffy dive bars and artisanal cocktail lounges.

 

Daily Schedule

It’s your retreat time, so everything on the (suggested) schedule is totally optional.

We’ll start each morning with a jog around some of the different neighborhoods in Megan’s home city. Post-run, it’s back at The Lodge for some guided meditation led by Melissa, then we’ll sip local coffee and enjoy a light breakfast in-house. A yoga practice—either Satya Sound-style at Palmer Square Park or downstairs in our digs—and some time to meander the city will follow. Come back “home” for a light lunch and a bit of introspection via a yoga workshop before more free time to mosey.

Dinner from Pizza Lobo will be provided on Thursday night, and we’ll venture out for meals on Friday and Saturday. Dinners at Lonesome Rose and Giant aren’t covered in your ticket price, though we have standing reservations for our large group should you want to check out these two incredible eateries with the retreat crew. Rather whip up dinner yourself? The Grand Kimball features two fully-stocked kitchens, so bring the ingredients and DIY feast to your heart’s delight!

After dinner, do as you please.
Want to grab some pals and a glass of wine at Scofflaw or try a cocktail at The Native?
Play a few rounds of pinball at Emporium Arcade Bar?
Feel like heading back to Grand Kimball for some reading and rest?

The city is your oyster, friend.

 
 

Pricing Options + Details

You can purchase an all-inclusive ticket with a Shared Bed or a Solo Bed.

Coming alone, but want to save $100? We’ll buddy you up with a fellow retreater—you’ll be bff’s in no time!

Note that all rooms are shared. The essence of Kula retreats is all about building community, so there aren’t private rooms available at The Grand Kimball Lodge for this retreat.

Do you live in Chicago or have pals you can crash with? Nab a “Retreat Only” ticket to take advantage of all the yoga + friendship without paying to stay.
