UPCOMING SESSION DATES: JULY 21 - 23 & AUGUST 18 - 20
Join Katrina and Tankut for a minimalistic digital detox weekend immersed in nature to restore vitality and rediscover joy in the present moment.
This intimate retreat will guide you to connect with your heart and expand your conscious awareness by integrating the transformative practice of yoga with sacred plant medicine.
We'll spend our retreat days doing yoga, breath work, meditation, sacred rituals, and awakening hot and cold plunges at the hot springs. Expect to immerse yourself in nature, breathe in fresh air, and spend some quality time self-care time away from your media and devices to clear your mind.
This retreat is all about rediscovering our connection to ourselves, to nature, and to other humans.
We hold space for you to simply arrive as you are. We embrace you for who you are. Over the course of 3 days, we’ll create a close knit community that inspires self-healing and personal growth. We are here to support and guide you on your self-expansion journey.
It’s time to let go of the things that hold you back from living a heart centered life filled with meaning and purpose. It’s time to surrender deeply into the now and embrace love and connection while releasing toxic and self-limiting patterns of judgement, rumination, worry, doubt, and fear.
It’s time to reset your mindset and cultivate a new perspective by experiencing a weekend immersion that will guide you to experience presence, love, simplicity, and inner peace.

PLANT MEDICINE CEREMONY
Our sacred ceremony will integrate the use of plant medicine from Mother Earth to facilitate deep healing and encourage expansion on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level.
Our medicine offers a heart opening and mind expanding blend of healing plants and extracts. The contents of this blend can be tailored, depending on the desired effect. Participation, experience intention, recommended dose, and additional details are discussed with each student prior to the ceremony.
This sacred ritual will guide you to connect with your heart, inspire new levels of consciousness, and support you in experiencing a deeper connection to yourself, all beings, and the entire universe.
ABOUT THE HOT SPRINGS
The Hot Springs are located in Lake County, CA and offer spring-fed hot, warm, and cold pools. In the tradition of Japanese onsens, Native American, and European hot springs, the soaking pools and pool areas are clothing-optional. This includes the pools, sauna, and surrounding sundecks.
The clothing-optional Mainside Pool Area now features a total of eight different pools. All these pools are fed by the different-temperature springs on the property. Spring waters are blended, heated, or cooled to produce and maintain the consistent temperatures that guests have come to know and love – ranging from profoundly hot to chillingly cold, and perfectly in-between.
Please be advised that the hot springs & surrounding areas are electronic-free zones.
