I'm thrilled to offer our Long 4 Day Weekend Summer Yoga Retreat at the Land of Medicine Buddha. Imagine arriving on Thursday, taking deep breaths, and settling into a time of relaxation, re-set and renewal. Our full program with lots of free time will include time to connect with amazing teachers, each other and what’s deep down real for you. Sample schedule and more details on my website here.
For new participants, excluding those recommended by word-of-mouth, a short videochat discovery session is requested prior to registration. We want to answer any questions you may have and learn what you are looking for. This way we can see if it is a good fit, a good match. This will help us provide the best experience for all. Contact julirice@yahoo.com to set up an appointment.
"I’ve flown all night to London, Paris, and Rome to see the world’s great masterpieces, driven hundreds of miles to hear favorite musicians in person. Thrilling? You bet. All of it. But nothing quite compares to the golden glow of a hatha yoga session facilitated by a gifted instructor. That glow can shift one’s perceptions of reality, lift them up. And to do so with like-minded practitioners? Among the sacred redwoods of the coastal range? Over four days? With plant-based meals provided by a wonderful chef? A no-brainer!"

Experience the sounds of Tibetan instruments as you rest in a beautiful meadow atop a hill nestled in the redwoods. Look up at the stars and enjoy the magical combination of nature and the unique healing sounds from ancient Tibet (gongs, flutes, bowls, bells and more). A one of a kind experience. Kalden Kho, our Tibetan guide, is a former Tibetan monk and tells stories and answers questions with a sense of humor and a grace that speaks volumes.
