Come with us to a remarkable and transformational experience surrounded by the magical Redwood Forest, located near the coast, at a working Buddhist Monastery called Land of Medicine Buddha (LMB). Average temperatures during August are highs often in the mid-70s to low-80s °F (24-28°C) and lows in the mid-50s to low-60s °F (13-16°C).
Reserve your entire weekend for uninterrupted Self-Loving Care (SLC), going deeper to understand and integrate self-nourishment, empathy, and love.
My retreats always promise growth into your higher states of consciousness, revealing your mind’s personal processes to freely express your creative and joyful spirit in everyday actions!
Land of Medicine Buddha’s sacred energy, nestled in the majestic Redwood Forest, offers many beautiful experiences to contemplate and recognise your wisdom, inspired by our rich itinerary of activities. While we’ll explore advanced Yoga and Buddhist teachings: Dharma, subtle breath techniques, and tools rarely found in studio classes, this retreat is not about performance. It’s about presence.
All levels of yoga and meditation experience are welcome here, always. Everything we offer is an invitation, not an expectation. You’re free to participate at your own pace and listen to your own inner rhythm. This is your time to rest, reconnect, and rise.
