IMAGINE...

You’re standing on the edge of the Sierra Nevada, gazing down at the still mirror’s edge that is the surface of Lake Tahoe. Snowflakes fall on the tip of your nose, your breath releasing in puffs.

You hear nothing but the gentle fall of snow, the ripple of the water—and the collective breath of your new tribe of fellow retreaters. You gaze around and feel both completely solitary in this stunning place and also more connected to your community than ever before.

We invite you to rejuvenate, reset, and adventure at the shore of America’s largest alpine lake.

Experience the intimate, quiet atmosphere of Ponderosa and Jeffrey pine trees, brisk mountain air, and free to enjoy every moment.

EXPLORE A SNOWY PARADISE

Elevate your life with a renewed sense of passion, purpose and clarity.

You'll wake up in the snowy mountains of North Lake Tahoe to enjoy sun salutations with Martin, hit the slopes all day, and finally wind down by the fire in the Tru Retreat Lodge with a cup of soothing hot chocolate or a glass of wine with both new and old friends.

It's time to post your "Out of Office" and plug into the mountains to reset your body and mind.

When you blend wellness with exciting travel, you not only get to experience the best a place has to offer, but you feel profoundly renewed when you return home.

This refreshing retreat is the golden ticket to finding your center, no matter what type of adventurer you are.

CONNECT WITH YOUR PRIORITIES

You have a beautiful vision for your life—but sometimes you feel disconnected and disheartened from bringing it to life. The hustle and bustle of day-to-day life simply get in the way.

See the bigger picture on a Tru Retreat designed precisely to unleash your dreams and your potential.

Lose sight of your distractions and rebuild your connection to a higher purpose.

Adventure, land, water, sky, great food, and community come together for one vibrant, special weekend.

2020 is the perfect occasion to start anew!

Set your heart on fire with a renewed passion for what you want most in life!

This powerhouse weekend will leave you ignited for the rest of the year. You’ll recover from post-holiday stress and set intentions for the year ahead.

Experience the healing energy of the mountains. Leave Lake Tahoe with clarity, purpose, and a clearer vision for the future.

I can’t wait!

We'll provide you with an easy set of mindful movement techniques, meditation, and breathing patterns you can return to again and again. Combat stress and improve your energy levels to take on your goals head first.

DREAMY

LAKE TAHOE

Lake Tahoe is a natural gem unlike any you've ever seen. With its sparkling, deep blue waters reflecting the skies overhead with incredible clarity, phenomenal mountain scenery, and endless recreation, this destination is a real treat.

But it’s not just the big blue centerpiece that makes Lake Tahoe special. Surrounding this treasure lies the massive granite peaks of the Sierra Nevada. At 6,229 feet above sea level, the Sierra offers a once-in-a-lifetime view that can only be described as breathtaking.

Lake Tahoe is a year-round outdoor playground complete with 12 ski resorts, hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, dozens of beaches, and 39 trillion gallons of water to enjoy.

The small mountain town of Tahoe City is a walkable downtown community with a vibrant mix of recreation, lively culture, and natural beauty in every season.

Lake Tahoe has been dubbed the No. 1 travel destination by TripAdvisor and a top finisher in USA Today’s 10 Best reader’s poll for Best Recreation Destination.
