That’s where Miraval Berkshires Wellbeing Retreats come in.

Visiting in the spring or summer? Attempt climbing elements 35-50 feet into the canopy of trees. Not to mention you can also, quite literally, take a leap of faith and experience a 45-foot free fall to the forest floor. We told you these are not your average icebreakers.

Creating a life in balance begins with begin engaged in the moment.
