Encounter the nectar of peace that is at your center and replenish your inner reservoir. You will return home with a fresh perspective and tools to last a life-time.​
Gentle Yoga + Meditation
We will gather as a group 2-3 times a day (for about an hour each session) In these sessions I will offer teachings and practices designed to restore harmony to your nervous system and connect you to your innate wholeness. to practice one or a combination of gentle yoga, guided relaxation, and heart-centered meditation.
​
Heart-centered Silence
Outside of our group sessions, we will be observing "mauna" - sacred silence.
In sweet and sociable quiet a world of wonder and beauty is revealed. In the silence we can feel and absorb the benefits of our practices and experience each other at a deeper level of humanness. With a maximum of 15 participants, and exclusive use of a magical mountainside hermitage, silence is nectar for the soul.
The Ojai Hermitage
We will have exclusive use of the Ojai Hermitage, a luxurious and spacious private property located on 110 acres of rolling hills in upper Ojai, California. With breath-taking views of the Topa Topa mountains, wandering gardens, olive orchard, and forest paths, you will feel like you are in a magical dream.
The large home features huge vaulted ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, soft adobe walls, fireplace, enormous chef's kitchen, large serene bedrooms, and expansive living areas with cozy couches and amazing views.
Walk the property, discover a quiet haven in the garden, nap in the shade, cozy up with your journal, or enjoy superb nighttime stargazing.
Peace-full Meals
An essential part of the retreat experience is the practice of peaceful meal preparation. Each participant will bring and prepare their own food during retreat. This allows you to engage deeply with the present moment; turning an everyday task into a meditative and enriching activity.
​The shared experience of silence and deep presence of preparing meals alongside fellow participants also deepens the sense of community and connectedness.
​
You will have all-day access to an enormous chef's kitchen with plenty of cupboard and refrigerator space for everyone. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you would expect in a home. There are several lovely local markets just 10-15 minutes from the property where you can pick up food items and supplies before arrival.
