Why You Need Wild & Radiant

Modern life demands your energy continuously. Wild & Radiant is designed as an intentional circuit breaker—a weekend to slow down, nourish your nervous system, and rediscover your joy, playfulness, and radiance.

Reconnect With Yourself

Unplug from digital overload, quiet the mental chatter, and reclaim inner peace through guided movement, noble silence, and reflection.

Rejuvenate & Play

Sink into outdoor thermal contrast spa sessions, soothing sound baths, farm-to-table chef meals, and moments of pure, unhurried joy.

Return Home Radiant

Build genuine lifelong friendships with like-minded women and return home clear, confident, and deeply inspired for the season ahead.

Is This Weekend Calling You?

Who This Retreat Is For

We welcome women from all walks of life. Whether you are stepping onto a yoga mat for the first time or are a lifelong practitioner, this weekend meets you exactly where you are.

This Retreat Is Designed For You If:

  • You are a busy woman who rarely gets time entirely for herself without obligation.
  • You feel overwhelmed or disconnected and need a true nervous system reset.
  • You seek genuine community and connection with inspiring, supportive women.
  • You want joy, playfulness, and self-rediscovery alongside deep relaxation.
  • You simply need a beautiful weekend away in a private sanctuary.

All Yoga & Movement Levels Welcome

Every class—from morning Solar Vinyasa to evening Restorative Yin—is taught with options for beginners, intermediate, and advanced students. There is zero pressure to perform; this retreat is about how practice feels, not how it looks.

Our 52-Acre Sanctuary

Celebrating the Land & Woods

Immerse yourself in deep wilderness restoration on the Founder's private estate with over 52 magical acres, miles of trails, and pure quiet bordered by protected forest.

The Wildwood Sanctuary

Our dedicated, beautifully decorated practice studio nestled in the forest. Gather for daily Solar Vinyasa flows, evening restorative Yin, sound bath immersions, and sacred circle work.

Rustic Spa & Wellness at Mountain Gurl Spa

Our signature outdoor rustic spa session. Experience thermal contrast healing in our wood-fired barrel sauna, soak in the outdoor hot tub, and revive in the cold plunge pool—complemented by organic botanical bath rituals.

The Enchanted Forest & Sacred Land

Explore miles of private trails steeped in history along the Battenkill River below. Discover whimsical woodland findings along your journey, including The OM Arch and hidden fairy dwellings tucked under the pines.

Your Host & Founder

A Personal Welcome from Sam Grout

Hello, friend! After four incredible years of producing large-scale OM gatherings, I created Wild & Radiant because I found myself craving a smaller, more intimate container where we could truly slow down, celebrate the magic of the Summer Solstice, and spend quality time together in the woods.

As a sixth-generation Vermonter, yoga teacher of 20+ years, Licensed Massage Therapist, and Clinical Aesthetician, this land is my heart. I designed this weekend to be the exact retreat I would want to attend: a balance of nourishing movement, deep spa relaxation, gourmet food, and complete freedom to rest.

I can't wait to welcome you onto my private estate in Arlington for a magical weekend of joy, community, and renewal.
