About The Farm:


Be Love Farm is a family owned regenerative farm, where we welcome people to come, stay a bit, slow down, breathe fresh air, enjoy food from our garden and awaken to the sounds of farmlife rather than an alarm. We are a diverse example of what is possible on 21 acres, from cows and sheep, to olive oil, wine and most fruits and nuts. There is so much to see and learn about as you connect with nature and all the bounty it has to offer, while enjoying a swim, sauna or cup of coffee around a campfire in the morning or wine in the evening. Matthew and Terces (the founders of Cafe Gratitude and Gracias Madre) love sharing the farm with folks and hospitality is truly their gift. It will be a visit you will always remember and want to return to again and again. View a tour of the farm here!

Covid 19 Protocols

Most of our weekend will be held outdoors, although some practices may be inside pending weather. We are asking students to either show proof of vaccination or be able to send a negative Covid test to us by October 14. We only ask that those getting tests are mindful of activities and social interactions in the days between taking the test and the retreat. You can send proof of vaccination to laurencohenyoga@gmail.com before the retreat begins.

Air Quality Concerns

If we need to cancel the retreat due to air quality, we will refund you. 


If for some reason the retreat is NOT cancelled and you do not feel comfortable attending, we ask that you either find someone to take your spot or we can offer a credit towards a future retreat. However, we are very conscious of the importance of healthy air and will make the best decision possible for those attending.

This day with Lauren was SUCH a welcome treat. Lauren is incredibly thoughtful in her programming and I could not think of a better, more delightful way to spend a day.

Incredible experience! Lauren has a beautiful way of guiding us through the journey where you are left feeling reinvigorated and deeply at ease.
By Lauren S for Path of Practice: Daylong Retreat at Green Gulch Farm Zen Center on Aug 07, 2023
What a wonderful and rejuvenating day at the Green Gulch Zen Center! Lauren's agenda and pace for the day were a perfect blend of sharing with community, yoga flows, tasty food and relaxing contemplative time on the hiking trail to Muir Beach. Quieting my mind and body, with only the sounds of Lauren's harmonium, chimes or beautiful voice passing through me, is always flat out sublime. Peace everybody, Jeff Ryan

Traveling to Portugal for 'Return to the Sacred' with Lauren, Leia, and Emma was the best decision I have ever made. Cocoon is a true paradise where the only thing more nourishing than the organic, farm to table meals was the yoga, meditation, and sound healing. Quiet mornings... Afternoons at the lake, or surfing in the ocean, hiking through canyons to boulder strewn swimming holes or along coastal trails to private beaches.. Three words: Beauty, Laughter, and Gratitude.

Thank you for these beautiful words! It wouldn’t have been the same without you!

What a magical day. The setting was both beautiful and peaceful. The practice location was secluded just enough to create easy and organic connections. As always, Lauren guided us through profound discussions and soulful yoga. The food was also both nourishing and delicious. Its worth mentioning that it was it was easy to fit this into my schedule since it was nearby and only a day long. Overall, the retreat exceeded my expectations and nourished mind, body and soul.
