I just participated in a meditation retreat at Setu Vermont. It was truly an experience. Although it was mentally and at times physically challenging, it was truly a blessing to participate in. The hosts were very kind, and the guests were inclusive. The accommodations were very comfortable. I had everything I needed. You have to be mentally prepared to commit, and open minded or you will not fully appreciate the experience in my opinion. It's not for everyone. There was a great deal of sitting, group participation, and patience required. The agenda is pretty full and subject to change, so not a lot of downtime, but that is what you came for. The food was delicious and all vegetarian. There is no alcohol and no alcohol allowed on premises; not a complaint just a disclosure. Whether you are new to the practice or consider yourself an expert, I think you will gain something from this place. If you're ready to go inside and you are not afraid of what you might find, I highly recommend Setu Vermont. read more

I had an amazing weekend retreat at Sētu in Brattleboro over the weekend. Here's a few highlights: Emily and Harmeet were super hospitable hosts, made lovely breakfasts, and were super knowledgable and experienced as teachers. The classes were top notch (yoga and sound meditation). The yoga studio was lovely and Harmeet has an amazing collection of gongs and sound healing tools. The property was beautiful and super close to hiking trails, farmers market, excellent restaurants, etc and included a pond--and it was a wonderful spot for stargazing. The hot tub and sauna were great amenities too. I hope to return and highly recommend Sētu. They also offer many special trainings in yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda etc. Thanks Emily and Harmeet! read more

I recently stayed at the Sētu Yoga & Meditation Retreat & Inn, and I cannot wait to go again. I found this place by happenstance, better said "a happy chance". I thought the drive from NY might pose with some difficulty but on the contrary, it was a smooth ride. You know those very special friends one has that no matter how much time goes by you can pick up right where you left off at, as if it were yesterday? That's what it felt like when meeting our hosts, Emily and Hermite. They felt like old friends, I dare even say family. Even their pup, omg! The sweetest of fur animals with a perfectly sweet name to match (ask what it means when you go ). The yoga sessions were catered to meet different skill levels and were very insightful. The gong meditation session provided a welcomed sense of grounding. The pictures on their are true to description and better in person. The environment was beautiful, spacious, very clean and efficient. It can be as social or private as you wish it to be. The food was delicious. There is a lovely assortment of garments and bags made from materials personally chosen by Emily from India. The pool is perfectly set in its environment and there is a hot-tub available too. I celebrated a friend's birthday here and our lovely hosts were able to set up private massage sessions as well as provide us with plenty of information on local activities and vegetarian options for dining. I highly recommend staying here. I can't wait to visit our new/old friends again. :) read more

My Husband and I enjoyed every minute of this rejuvenating retreat. This charming setting is a restorative hub with a range of activities including an ecosystem talk and nature walk around the property, a gong meditation, Ashtanga Yoga, star gazing, an amazing breakfast and a lovely pond around to sit by. Emily and Harmeet are amazing hosts with visible passion and deep knowledge about their practices. There wasn't a minute that wasn't interesting during this retreat. The rooms are cozy and so beautifully decorated. We highly recommend Se-tu and hope to be back soon! read more
