We do our best to accommodate special dietary needs and food intolerances. If you have specific requirements, please let us know in advance so we can confirm with the venue that they are able to provide suitable options. In the B Bar ranch kitchen, every meal tells a story of place and season. Their chefs craft dishes that honor both Montana’s heritage and the bounty of the mountain landscape – from grass-finished beef raised on their pastures to vegetables grown in partnership with local organic farmers. Here, dining becomes part of the deeper experience of this remarkable valley. Nourishing Body and Soul. When the dinner bell rings across the ranch, it calls us to gather in the historic lodge, where meals become moments of connection and community. From hearty, colorful breakfasts paired with fresh coffee to evening meals that celebrate the day’s adventures, the B Bar kitchen creates food that’s both nutritious and soul-satisfying. Each thoughtfully prepared plate brings together wholesome ingredients and careful preparation, inviting you to slow down and savor not just the food, but the company and conversation that make dining a memorable part of the retreat experience.

Schedule

Participants are invited to arrive at B Bar Ranch by 3:00 PM on July 30, 2026, with our opening circle and first practice beginning at 4:30 PM. Over the following days, you’ll move through a balanced rhythm of guided sessions, ceremonies, and personal time for integration, rest or reflection, with all activities being optional so you can honor your own pace. The retreat concludes on August 2 with a morning integration practice, closing circle, and breakfast, ending by 11:00 AM to allow for a relaxed departure.
