The Power in Your Hands: 72 Hours of Digital Liberation

The Power in Your Hands: 72 Hours of Digital Liberation is a transformative healing retreat designed to help you disconnect from technology and reconnect with yourself. Taking place October 25–28, 2026, at the serene Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, this intimate gathering invites you to step away from screens and into three days of intentional rest, movement, and inner exploration. Led by renowned yoga teacher and psychotherapist Shannon Algeo and traditional Qigong practitioner Daisy Lee, this healing retreat event in Stockbridge offers a rare opportunity to experience deep renewal in one of America's most peaceful wellness destinations.

In our hyperconnected world, constant digital stimulation leaves us depleted, anxious, and disconnected from our bodies and breath. This healing retreat addresses that modern challenge head-on, creating a tech-free sanctuary where you can finally pause. Whether you're a seasoned yogi, a curious beginner, or simply someone seeking respite from screen fatigue, this 72-hour immersion combines ancient wisdom traditions with contemporary therapeutic approaches. You'll leave feeling grounded, restored, and equipped with practices you can carry into your daily life.

What to Expect

Imagine arriving at the tranquil Kripalu Center after hours of scrolling and notifications, only to power down your phone and enter a completely different rhythm. Your 72-hour journey unfolds through a carefully sequenced blend of guided yoga classes, Qigong sessions, breathwork, meditation, journaling, and spacious downtime. Each day begins with gentle sunrise practices to awaken your body and mind, moves into afternoon teachings and skill-building workshops, and winds down with restorative sessions that deepen your sense of peace. The retreat balances structure with freedom—you're guided but never rushed, held but never confined.

You'll experience the profound shift that happens when digital noise falls away. In the mornings, you might flow through a Vinyasa class with Shannon Algeo, exploring the mind-body connection from both yogic and psychological perspectives. Afternoons invite you to move with Daisy Lee's flowing Qigong sequences, cultivating chi and vitality through graceful, meditative movement. Evenings feature group circles, optional silent dinners, and personal reflection time. By day three, most participants report a deep sense of ease—clearer thinking, better sleep, genuine presence, and renewed energy.
