Join me for the first of the Align With Source trifecta, TRUTH, on Sept 30-Oct.

“The spiritual path is individual, highly personal. It can’t be organized or regulated. It isn't true that everyone should follow one path. Listen to your own truth.” Ram Das

This retreat will focus on listening deeply to the truth of your soul and building the necessary skills to follow that inner guidance wherever it may lead you on your unique healing path to liberation.

Through an embodied healing journey that includes yoga asana, pranayama, journal writing, meditation, reflection, and ritual, we will use this time together to explore our individual truths (and the withholding of those truths) that have shaped our life and destiny. 

Together we will:  

• Confront limiting beliefs 
• Explore the attachments we have to harmful narratives 
• Admit (to ourselves) our secrets and lies
• Discharge caustic and suppressed physical and emotional energy
• Understand how the mind/body connection and samskaras influence our perception
• Lean into the transformative power of truth
• Cultivate a more trusting relationship with Source

Finding our voice and speaking our truths to ourselves and to this world is critical to our well-being. Join me for a weekend of truth-telling and self-discovery.

We can barely wait to welcome you back for community, delicious vegan food, hiking, and – of course – Class!  We’ve cut our attendance back by 10 people for each retreat to allow more space in the yoga room.

The health and safety of our guests, staff, and performers are paramount in these (still) uncertain times. To attend any retreat, we require that all guests provide proof of full vaccination against COVID-19. Our staff and performers will also follow this protocol, and we encourage you to get vaccinated if possible.

We will not require that guests wear masks indoors (bedrooms and yoga room), but we honor and respect each individual's need to feel safe while on the property. If you have any hesitation to join us for this retreat, we recommend you wait until one of our future retreats in 2022. 

Most beds in shared bedrooms have 3 feet between each bed. Yoga mats might be only 1-2 feet spaced out. We will keep windows and doors open during class to allow for proper circulation. Meals will be served outdoors.

We appreciate your cooperation and your support. Looking forward to celebrating our next chapter together safely! 💫

Ali Lafayette will be our private chef for the weekend, preparing delicious vegan and organic meals with fresh ingredients. 

Ali is currently working as a private chef and health-based retreat chef, specializing in simple, nutritious, and delicious food designed to nurture and energize clients undergoing trainings and other forms of self-optimization. 

Her specialties are accommodating and adapting for a multitude of dietary restrictions, allergies, and health concerns, including but not limited to; vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, sugar-free, celiac, low-acid, clean eating, whole-30, ketogenic, and Ayurvedic. 

Ali’s passion for food as a health and nutrition tool has led her to become a certified nutritionist, and she has several years of experience developing meal prep programs for clients suffering from auto-immune disorders and other food-related health issues. 

Ali’s personal food philosophy focuses on the idea that food is fuel and medicine for the body, but that healthy food can also be decadent and delicious. 

“Food should be Delicious: Good food can be an incredible sensory experience! Just because it's good for your body doesn't mean it has to be boring and bland. 

Food Should be Simple: Real ingredients, and not too many of them. Local and Seasonal; humane and organic. All things you can pronounce and recognize. 

Food Should be Healthy: Food is fuel and medicine for our body, it keeps us running at the top of our potential. Low to zero sugars, simple carbohydrates, and no processed chemical ingredients.” 

🤎 Thursday 3pm Check-In, 5-7pm Class, 7:30pm Dinner

🤎 Friday & Saturday 7:30am Breakfast, 9am-12pm Class, 12:30pm Lunch, 5-7pm Class, 7:30pm Dinner

🤎 Sunday 7:30am Light Breakfast, 8:30am-11am Class, 11:30am Brunch, 12pm Check-Out

The meal times and class times are subject to change.

One of the afternoons we will do an intention-setting meditation at Seane's yoga yurt overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and a ritual blessing at a nearby labyrinth.

There will be plenty of time between sessions to simply relax and connect with yourself, each other, and the land. Perched on 10 acres, atop a remote valley with beautiful views of the Santa Monica mountains, you can find yourself chilling in the jacuzzi or cedar sauna, taking a swim in the lap pool, or dunk in the cold plunge. There are also many places for quiet time like the sun patios or cozy up to the large living room fireplace in the 1920’s Spanish Mission-style house. 

If you feel like an adventure on your own, there are gorgeous hiking trails nearby and the Pacific Ocean is only 20 minutes away. Or take a drive into town where you can visit all the local shops and artisans. 

📍 Address to the property will be given the week before the retreat starts. 

👉  Substance-free retreat

A substance-free environment is one in which all guests agree to keep their space free from substances at all times. Substances are defined to include alcohol, cigarettes, other smoking materials, and illicit and illegal drugs.

👉  Close shared spaces

This is a very communal retreat with shared bedrooms and shared bathrooms. Some beds may only be 3 feet apart from each other. If, for any reason, you do not feel safe being in such close quarters with other guests due to concerns for Covid-19/Delta variant, it's best not to join this trip and wait until a time that feels best for you. We will be doing many more of these next year. 

👉  Shared rooms and bathrooms

Some rooms and bathrooms may be co-ed depending on sign-ups. We do our best to manage this and contact you for permission before placing you in a co-ed bedroom. This rarely happens, but it's worth giving you the heads up in case we contact you. We are not able to control bathrooms not being co-ed unless your room has a private bathroom. 

👉 Seane & Jessica stay off-site

Due to the limited number of beds on the property, Jessica and Seane will sleep offsite during the weekend. A property manager lives onsite in case of any emergencies during sleeping hours. Seane lives just 5 minutes down the road, and Jessica will be arriving at the property every morning before breakfast and will be the last one to leave in the evening when everyone goes to sleep. We will discuss this more during our opening circle on the first day of the retreat.

Due to the exclusive offering of this retreat to Seane's mail list and the lead time to fill your spot. It makes it difficult for us to react to last-minute cancellations after the eblast has been sent out.

👉 If you need to cancel 15-30 days before the start of the retreat, you will receive a 50% refund. 

👉 If you need to cancel 0-14 days before the start of the retreat, you will receive no refunds.

In addition, in the event of fires in Topanga or COVID-19, we may need to reschedule this retreat. If so, we will refund you for your full amount minus any losses we may incur due to unforeseen circumstances that are out of our control. It is in our best interest to refund you in this type of situation. We cannot be responsible for any losses with airfare, transportation, or any other additional costs incurred during the planning of your trip. 

Travel insurance is STRONGLY advised to cover you for any unexpected circumstances since we need to stick to our policies. 

Unfortunately, we are not able to credit towards future offerings or transfer amounts towards online classes.
