Just Ask Spirit: How to Connect and Manifest with Your Guides

Just Ask Spirit is a weekend yoga retreat at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, led by spiritual teacher Sherianna Boyle. It is for anyone curious about intuition, connecting with spirit guides, and how manifestation works in daily life, whether you are just starting out or already have a practice. No prior experience with channeling, breathwork or manifestation is needed.

The retreat centers on learning to connect with your higher self, clearing the energetic and emotional blocks that can get in the way, and understanding the spiritual laws of the universe. You leave with a grounded sense of how manifestation works and a mindful system for staying in touch with your guides after you go home.

What to Expect

The weekend combines guided practice with hands-on exploration. Somatic movement, breathwork, chanting and journaling are woven through the program, along with experiential opportunities to practice channeling and receiving messages from spirit. The emphasis is practical: tools you can use in ordinary days, not only during the retreat.

The rhythm follows the usual Kripalu retreat pattern. On the opening day, check-in begins at 2:00 pm, followed by a Kripalu Yoga class from 4:45 to 6:00, dinner, and an evening program session from 7:30 to 9:00.

The full program day begins with Kripalu Yoga at 6:30 am and a silent breakfast. Program sessions run from 9:00 to 11:30 in the morning and 1:30 to 4:00 in the afternoon, with lunch between them. Another yoga class at 4:45 and dinner close out the day.

On the final morning there is yoga again at 6:30, a silent breakfast, and a program session from 9:00 to 11:00, then lunch and departure. Actual times can vary, so the schedule you receive at check-in is the one to follow.

The Setting

Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health sits in Stockbridge, in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts. Its accommodations are intentionally simple, meant to help you unplug and feel grounded. You can choose a private room if you want solitude, or a shared dormitory if you prefer the company of other guests. Rooms are ready by 4:00 pm, and the Luggage Room holds your bags if you arrive earlier.

Three meals are served each day, with breakfast taken in silence. On the day of departure, room check-out is at 10:00 am, but you are welcome to stay on campus and take part in workshops until 2:00 pm.

Before You Go

This retreat is open to all levels, and English is the language of the program. Your stay includes accommodation on the Kripalu grounds, three daily meals, more than ten yoga classes each day across the campus schedule, all program sessions with Sherianna Boyle, and access to the grounds and facilities. Healing Arts sessions and purchases from the Kripalu Shop and Cafe are extra.

Online reservations are available for one or two guests. If the program is full, a waitlist is available, and people are contacted in the order they joined if space opens.
