What a peaceful retreat space tucked away in nature—A perfect location for a healing center! Each visit has left a lasting impression, truly soul nourishing, and uplifting. Surrounded by lush forest, Mosslight offers a tranquil escape from the hustle of life. The grounds border serene woodlands with access to quiet, scenic trails that are perfect for mindful walks or simply soaking in the natural beauty of the trees and moss. The yoga studio is bright, airy, and fully equipped with props, making it ideal for classes, workshops and even team retreats. A full kitchen and great table to gather! I teach yoga here, join in Rachel’s moon circles, and have attended workshops here. The space is perfectly and thoughtfully decorated and designed. Every corner is mindfully curated. Rachel is so kind! She is a gentle force and an incredible healer. She shines so brightly and is very authentic and genuine. Rachel and Nate are gracious, attentive hosts who go out of their way to make every guest feel at home. Mosslight isn’t just a retreat center, but a place to reconnect, recharge and find stillness. You will leave feeling refreshed, centered and deeply inspired!

I highly recommend Mosslight Retreat to anyone looking for a truly supportive and healing yoga experience or a peaceful retreat getaway. From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of calm and intention—a sanctuary ideal for healing, reflection, and connection with nature. The space itself is beautiful—grounding, serene, and filled with care.
I hadn’t practiced yoga in over 10 years and felt a little hesitant returning. From the moment I stepped in, I felt completely at ease. Rachel teaches with a gentle, intuitive presence and truly listens, offering thoughtful adaptations without pressure. It was incredibly healing to move again in a way that honored where my body is today. I left feeling calm, lighter, and deeply grateful for this hidden gem tucked into the foothills of Tiger Mountain. Absolutely recommend Mosslight—100%!
“Rare and beautiful retreat space that feels both luxurious and soulful.”

Mosslight Retreat felt like discovering a hidden sanctuary in the forest, quiet, beautiful, intentional, and deeply connected to nature. As functional medicine doctors and founders of Rhea Teachings, Dr. Harter and I were searching for a space that could hold women in a way that felt grounding and inspiring. Mosslight was the perfect setting for our gatherings centered around botanical medicine, ancient wisdom, movement, sound healing, full moon circles, and meaningful connection.
The home itself is stunning, with thoughtful attention to every detail and a feeling that everything has been carefully considered. The grounds are lush, private, and expansive, the kind of place that invites you to slow down, wander, reflect, and reconnect. What makes Mosslight even more remarkable is its location. Close to Seattle, the airport, and the freeway, yet once you arrive, you feel a million miles away in a private forest sanctuary. A rare and beautiful retreat space that feels both luxurious and soulful at the same time.

Mosslight Retreat center is a truly special space. From the moment you arrive, you can feel how thoughtfully it’s been created. The center is aesthetically beautiful, cozy, and incredibly clean, with an artistic touch in every detail. The decor is warm and inviting, and the bedrooms are especially lovely, offering a peaceful and comfortable place to rest and retreat.
The yoga and meditation room feels intimate and serene, creating the perfect atmosphere for quiet practice and reflection. One of the most magical parts of the space is its setting—surrounded by peaceful nature, it feels like a sanctuary where you can truly slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself.
It’s a relaxing, nurturing environment that clearly reflects Rachel’s care and intention in creating a place for people to gather, practice, and restore. I recommend it for retreat facilitators and participants or groups looking for a peaceful getaway.

A hidden gem nestled in nature! I’ve had the pleasure of attending Rachel’s amazing Moon Village Circles, as well as her weekly yoga and meditation classes at Mosslight — each experience has been truly transformative. The retreat center is incredibly well appointed, with beautiful furnishings, abundant natural light, and a serene, grounding energy that makes you instantly feel at home.
Nestled in the forest among endless greenery, Mosslight is the perfect escape from the city. The property borders the woods and offers access to scenic trails for peaceful walks and quiet reflection. The dedicated yoga studio is open, bright, and fully stocked with props — ideal for classes, workshops, or corporate retreats.
The retreat center is both luxurious and comfortable, featuring a fully equipped kitchen, three spacious bedrooms, and three bathrooms. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed, from the neutral tones and playful modern touches to the cozy outdoor seating and fire pit — perfect for gatherings under the stars.
Rachel and Nate are wonderful hosts who create a warm, welcoming environment for all who visit. Mosslight retreat center is more than a place — it’s an experience of rejuvenation, calm, and connection. You’ll leave feeling relaxed, inspired, and renewed.
Rachel’s meditation class is unlike any I’ve experienced. What sets it apart is the beautiful balance between gentle guidance and spacious silence. She thoughtfully leads you into the meditation, and then offers a full 20 minutes of quiet stillness where you can truly go inward and drop deep.
As someone new to meditation, I’ve found this structure incredibly supportive. It feels both accessible and profound. The guided portion helps me settle, and the silent time allows for a deeper experience than I expected.
Rachel is a gifted healer and yoga instructor who creates a safe, grounded, and sacred environment. Practicing in her beautiful sanctuary at Mosslight Retreat Center on Tiger Mountain feels peaceful, intentional, and restorative.
If you’re looking to begin—or deepen—your meditation practice, this class offers the perfect container.

I recently attended a retreat at Mosslight and it was an incredible experience. Tucked away in the trees, it truly feels like an escape into the arms of the forest😊. It’s peaceful, intimate, and beautifully designed for reflection.
The meditation/new moon workshop was thoughtful and welcoming for all levels. Rachel (she’s truly AMAZING!!) created a warm and supportive environment, and the setting made it easy to slow down and really be present. I especially loved the group meditation, which felt powerful in such a serene space.
Another highlight was the energy healing component. It added a restorative dimension to the retreat and helped deepen the overall experience.
If you’re looking for a small, intentional boutique retreat near Seattle that blends yoga, group meditation, and energy healing in a tranquil forest setting, Mosslight is truly a hidden gem. I left feeling refreshed, centered, and grateful for the experience.

I cannot recommend the Mosslight Retreat enough! I recently rented the space for a full-day grief retreat, and we all had such a beautiful and healing experience. The house is spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly welcoming. We were able to prepare a full lunch and offer yoga, meditation, dance and sharing circles. The dining room has a big table that comfortably seated 10 and allowed for a warm gathering with lots of conversation and intimate sharing. This retreat also sits at the foot of Tiger Mountain forest and we were able to enjoy a calming walk along the trail just behind the house.
The yoga room was especially lovely, filled with natural light and overlooking the trees. All the props we needed for yoga and meditation were provided. Rachel was wonderful to work with. She had the space prepared with everything we needed and was quick to respond to any questions before and during the retreat. Every participant found this retreat center to be a peaceful, restorative, and a deeply nourishing place to reconnect with themselves and with nature.

I love every session of yoga and/or meditation at Mosslight with Rachel. Every yoga session leaves me feeling whole, centered and strong, while meditation sessions give me such a gentle glow of light and calm in my soul.
Not only is Rachel an excellent yoga instructor technically, but she shares so much of her heart and soul with everyone who shares this gorgeous and inspiring space at Mosslight. In the midst of hundreds of yoga studios and retreat centers in the area, a session at Mosslight is truly a one-of-kind experience that will leave a long-lasting calm and peace in your mind, body and soul. Much of what we desperately need in these times. Absolutely recommend!!!

Rachel’s Slow Flow Yoga class is peaceful and deeply therapeutic while helping build real strength along the way. There’s a beautiful sense of calm from the moment I walk into Mosslight Retreat, and the small class setting makes it feel personal and supportive.
Her guidance and sequencing is gentle yet powerful, helping to release tension not just physically, but emotionally as well. Each session leaves me feeling lighter, grounded, stronger, and restored. If you’re looking for a nurturing space to reconnect with yoga, in a beautiful setting, this is it. Highly recommend.

Beautiful place! The house was immaculate and the location was completely tranquil and peaceful. Rachel was really friendly and responsive throughout our booking.
“Great access to Bellevue, Seattle and all the mountain activities.”

We had a great stay at this home! Close enough to Seattle/Bellevue but with great access to nature and outdoor activities. Rachel was easy to communicate with, the house was recently remodeled with very tasteful updates. The location is amazing. Downtown Issaquah is cute and close, and it’s easy to get to Seattle and Bellevue.
We’d love to come back during the summer since this property has such great access to outdoor experiences including hiking/walking trails right out the back door! The house was very comfortable and I used the yoga space for morning stretching. My son really wanted to go snowboarding which would have been easy with close proximity to the passes but we didn’t have time. We would definitely stay again! Thanks Rachel for a great stay.
