Class description
This is a Wild Rice Retreat–hosted retreat, part of our thoughtfully curated programming. We proudly partner with skilled retreat leaders to bring guided experiences to our resort—designed to inspire, nourish, and support personal growth in alignment with our mission.
We invite you to reconnect with the inner flame that fuels your clarity, purpose, and spiritual vitality. We'll explore the sacred fire within and without, which is at the root of the yoga and tantra traditions.
This won't be an intellectual retreat, but rather we will explore how the spirit of fire functions as both a spiritual principle and a lived, embodied experience. Through Tantric Hatha Yoga, meditation, chakra exploration, authentic connection and community, a traditional fire ritual, and more, we’ll learn how sacred fire manifests throughout our life to ultimately strengthen and ignite our: intention, breath, health, community, and the deeper values that anchor our life.
This retreat is designed for practitioners who want meaningful practice, sincere community, and a grounded, lineage-informed path to spiritual renewal through the art and science of agni vidya.
What We’ll Explore
- Tantric Hatha Yoga practices to awaken prana and build inner steadiness
- The nature of sacred fire and how it supports purpose and fulfillment
- A traditional external fire ritual to understand how tending the outer flame awakens the inner one
- Guided chakra exploration and how each center relates to personal energy, clarity, and intuition
- Meditation sessions to anchor presence and deepen your relationship with inner fire
- Internal fire practices focused on gathering your resources to continue to stoke the sacred fire within
- Purpose and intention work to clarify what your desires and vision are to illuminate what's next in your life
- Community connection with like-minded seekers who value sincere spiritual practice and learning
- Sacred reflection circles to integrate insights and strengthen your commitment to your path

biography
Zach Ketterhagen is a transformational coach who works with purpose-driven leaders, empaths, creatives, and heart-centered professionals to help them transform pain into power, move through deep healing, and realign with their highest potential. His work supports clients in accessing the wisdom of the body, unlocking emotional breakthroughs, and cultivating the clarity and confidence needed to create lasting transformation—mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
Zach’s own journey began after college, when he found himself caught in cycles of addiction, anxiety, and disconnection. That period became a turning point, leading him to a life-changing chapter at The Himalayan Institute, a yoga and spiritual community where he began the deep healing and training that now form the foundation of his work. It was also there that he became a father to two incredible boys and committed himself to a path of authentic leadership, spiritual practice, and service.
For over 18 years, Zach has studied with master teachers in yoga, tantra, meditation, somatic psychology, addiction and recovery, executive development, psychedelic integration, and related disciplines. Drawing from these systems, he helps clients navigate life transitions, emotional healing, and purpose realignment through a multidimensional approach tailored to each individual’s path toward embracing their true self. Before founding his coaching practice, Zach spent more than a decade in product and project management, supporting organizations in healthcare, wellness, and technology through heart-centered leadership and strategic innovation. Today, he brings that same clarity, ingenuity, and grounded presence into his coaching—supporting clients to lead, live, and love from their highest truth.
Zach is a long-time practitioner and teacher in the Sri Vidya Tantric Himalayan Tradition, which is the foundation of his spiritual practice and teachings.
Zach lives in Madison, Wisconsin, where he works with clients both in person and virtually. He also serves clients across the United States, offering transformational coaching that is grounded, intuitive, and designed to catalyze deep healing and embodied change.
