Through meditation, yoga, nutrition, and coaching you’ll have the opportunity to move through the layers of your being and truly connect with yourself.
You’ll leave with practical tools to change the way your manage stress in your life. Expect each day to be nourished daily with healthy comfort foods, treat yourself to a massage, walk the orange orchards, or lounge by the jacuzzi.

The retreat takes place in a luxury modern farmhouse situated on 10 acres of land in upper Ojai. It is surrounded by sacred mountains with a panoramic view of the Topa Topa Mountains and its legendary pink sunsets.

Enjoy lounging by the beautiful pool & hot tub, exploring the property, or driving 10 minutes to the Ojai village.
