Join Lila Heller and Louise Johns for this epic journey into the hills of Mendocino, CA.
Spend 4 nights and 5 days with us delving into Movement, Meditation, Journal Writing and Connection at the Bell Valley Retreat Center.
Bell Valley Retreat Center is located just outside the town of Boonville. Nestled in a protected watershed, Bell Valley offers a refuge from the bustle of every daily life and stress. There are six miles of trails that weave throughout the beauty and solitude of rolling oak hills and open meadows. The unique accommodations are thoughtfully integrated into the landscape some of which are located in the historic Toll House.

Ultimately, autumn doubles as practice for heightened awareness of yourself and surroundings.
As the Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said,
"The only constant is change."
Autumn reminds us that our bodies, minds, and surroundings are always developing. It focuses on the impermanence of life, emphasizing how vital it is to embrace the present. By doing so, we can savor what we have before it's gone.
Let's Welcome this Autumn and the changes it brings together in community just 2.5 hours from the Bay Area.
Everyone needs beauty as well as bread, places to play and pray, where nature heals and gives strength to body and soul alike. - John Muir
