Vermont Be True Yoga Festival

Vermont Be True 501c3 and Milldale Farm Center for Wellness are no longer in operations and honored to have hosted 6 beautiful, impactful and amazing Vermont Be True Yoga Festivals

Jan. 2023

This announcement is challenging for us to send as the news is heartbreaking, as well as a powerful opportunity for us to live our spiritual and philosophical practices. For the time being we have the necessity to close Milldale Farm Center for Wellness, Vermont Be True 501C3, and the Vermont Be True Yoga Festival. Since the beginning; many of you have been dear to our spiritual growth, the development of our vision to serve and build community, and our greater efforts to support the wellness, bodies, minds and spirits of our community.

This was not initially what we envisioned nor planned for 2023. The State of Vermont notified us of violations regarding to ACT 250 land-use permits and waste management regulations that we were unaware of. These come with a hefty financial burden that we are not in a position to address to remain in operation at this time. We will no longer operate our “commercial businesses” which include: wellness retreats, events and trainings; cabin rentals; the Vermont Be True Yoga Festival and Bhaktistock.  We feel confident in this decision and are welcoming the next chapter(s) of life and enjoying this stage of reevaluation and visioning. We are also looking forward to taking time to care of ourselves, our mental and physical health.

Through this reflective process we also have acknowledged and felt the tremendous positive impact that these creations have made on others and ourselves! We are so grateful for all of you, the time we spent together, and all that we have accomplished; It is truly remarkable! Thank you. 

We will continue providing our mental health services virtually including: psychotherapy; yoga and wellness consultation; as well as supervision and coaching to our community’s schools and businesses. We also plan to offer services and retreats at other community locations. While we are unsure of what the future holds, we trust that we will once again be divinely guided.

We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting both Milldale Farm Center for Wellness and Vermont Be True.  Thank you for supporting and showing love to these amazing missions and building this community over the years. This has been an unforgettable chapter in our lifetime, one that will forever live on in our hearts as this community is strong, true, and loving. Let us all continue the mission within. It has been both a blessing and an honor to have served in this way! None of it would have been possible without you. Thank you for your continued love around this sensitive matter. 

For those interested in making donations, or for those who may know angel investors that would be of support to our mission we appreciate you reaching out.  We will be investigating these as options to continue our mission in the future. 

Remember we are all spirit living through a human experience, all of these attachments are here for us to learn the practice of non-attachment. We are facing this ourselves and appreciate your love. We may be slow to respond to questions and reach out but thank you all dearly.
