Being on retreat is an opportunity to step away from everyday life, from all your responsibilities and to-do lists, and to immerse yourself in a weekend of nurturing (body, mind and soul). It's an invitation to reconnect with yourself, and to remember the abundance of peace, wisdom, joy, and health that's always within.
For this Fall Women's Getaway, we'll retreat to an eco-luxury home BEAUTIFULLY situated on 5 wooded acres and the adjacent 5 acres on farm and pool area, located on the edge of the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve (8300 acres) where nature and eco-architecture harmonize to provide serenity, natural beauty, and luxury, conveniently located between LA and San Diego in Southern California's Wine Country (60 wineries and counting).

Phone- You DON'T need to leave your phone at home. Maybe you want to take pics with your phone. But I highly encourage you to take a break from talking/ emailing/ texting while on retreat. This is not a rule, just an invitation. However, if you need to be in touch with the folks at home, cell service is available.
