Through yoga, we bear witness to the body, the breath, and the quiet truths that live within us. Through writing, we extend that witness outward— using language to share the stirrings of our heart.Set in the tranquil beauty of Ojai, California—long cherished as a spiritual and creative sanctuary—this retreat brings these two practices together, inviting us to slow down, soften, and enter into a more spacious way of seeing and creating.Our days will include:Guided writing explorations to give voice to what we witness within and beyondYoga Flows, Yin, and Meditation practices to inhabit the body and attune to presenceTime to hike, explore, or simply be in the vast embrace of Ojai’s natural landscapeThis retreat is not about perfecting poses or producing polished pages. It is about arriving as we are, and listening deeply, allowing us to witness ourselves and to be a witness for one another.Please note: Our gathering will begin at Light & Space in Ojai at 7 p.m. on Friday evening. We will conclude our retreat on Sunday at 1 p.m. Specific scheduling details, along with suggested accommodations will be shared upon booking.The Journey by David Whyte Above the mountains the geese turn into the light againPainting their black silhouettes on an open sky.Sometimes everything has to be inscribed across the heavensso you can find the one line already written inside you.Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that first, bright and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart.Sometimes, with the bones of the black sticks left when the fire has gone out,someone has written something new in the ashes of your life.You are not leaving. Even as the light fades quickly now, you are arriving.

Truly a five-star experience.

The facility was beautiful and welcoming.  The food was exceptional and the classes or events were enlightening and fun to participate in.

I would certainly recommend and cannot wait to attend the next one!



Body Wisdom: Yoga & Writing Retreat to Joshua Tree

Wow, what a relaxing and powerful weekend. Sarah & Sarah shared their wisdom of yoga + writing to create such a special weekend. We took in the beauty of the desert, enjoyed seeing parts of Joshua Tree Nat Park, and indulged in delicious but healthy food! I would sign up for this retreat yearly, if I could. Thank you!
