Winter Bliss Retreat 2026
February 19-22, 2026
Winter Bliss Retreat will be held at Aldermarsh Retreat Center. Aldermarsh is situated on the edge of a beautiful marshland on the south end of Whidbey Island. The wooded 5 acre facility is integrated with its natural setting where community, collaboration and sustainability thrive. The grounds include a cordwood sauna, an outdoor heated Japanese soaking tub, beautiful gardens, an outdoor fire pit, and maintained pathways through acres of natural wetlands.
Aldermarsh is located in Clinton, WA at the south end of Whidbey island, not far from the ferry terminal.
Retreats are guided by Sarvinder Kaur, the founder of TrailBliss. Sarvinder is a 500hrs RYT (registered Yoga Teacher) and Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, and has been practicing yoga and meditation for over two decades. She learned and deepened her mindfulness practice through several teachers in India and USA.
As she witnessed the transformative power of mindfulness and yoga in her life, she felt compelled to share these invaluable practices to others. She is dedicated to creating an engaging and meaningful experience that gives participants the tools to develop inner peace, empathy, and resilience to navigate the twists and turns of the existence.
She is a seasoned hiker, backpacker, mountaineer and King County Research and Rescue volunteer.
Amy is a vibrational sound practitioner, group facilitator, Reiki master, singer, and writer. She has been skillfully holding compassionate energetic space for others for 30 years through therapy sessions, courses, workshops, circles, and sacred ceremony.
Amy began her career as a master’s level social worker in a hospital setting, and then as an individual, couples, and group therapist. Through her spiritual exploration, Amy was called to other forms of the healing arts. These include sound healing, Acutonics® tuning forks, and Sekhem Reiki. Amy has studied Celtic spirituality, meditation, music theory, shamanic journeying, and voice.
She believes there are many paths to the same destination of Oneness. Physical, emotional, and/or spiritual challenges are energetic blocks, Amy uses the gifts of sound, light, words, and song to help her clients release this stuck energy. Her work encourages calmer central nervous systems, deeper relaxation, emotional healing, and soul reconnection.
