About this trip
Nature Camp for women of all ages to come play, rejuvenate and celebrate being alive!
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:
- An opportunity to slow down as and reconnect at this late Fall time. To feel the earth in its end of year harvest and starting to grow quiet, and tune into our bodies and intuition. I have hosted retreats at this time of year for many years, and the Fall retreats have a special flavor of savoring, slowing, deepening.
- Quiet mornings, healing meditations in nature, soulful yoga and barre classes. Guided practices with strengthening, liberating movement so you can breathe and move intuitively, gracefully, powerfully.
- Afternoons recharging with river dungs and beach hangs. Nevada City typically has very beautiful weather in late October and is a sweet spot to catch the last summer rays.
- Late afternoon song circles. Mouthwatering meals, enjoyed slowly. Campfire Songs. Dreaming under the stars...
- Check out photos from the June retreat here.
Nature, embodied yoga and movement practices, breath, song and sisterhood are the medicine for this weekend retreat. And I'm giddy with excitement for this opportunity for a magical weekend together.
The set and setting is so important to me.. as I want retreats to feel like we are in celebration of life with this beautiful earth, with the waters, with fire - sitting around the campfire, watching stars, in healthy rhythm with movement and music, and really rejoicing in co-creating with nature. Like kids camp, for us. To me that's spiritual!
It will be lighthearted, peaceful, playful, and a great time to reconnect to you and with wonderful people. And as always, with space to arrive perfectly as you are, and that all parts of us are welcome - the grieving, the sweet, the bitter, the undigested, the fear and love.
This retreat is open to all ages of women, and some yoga experience is recommended.
The incredible space:
- Indoor cathedral space for yoga and outdoor deck, if it's cool enough. Sun can be strong there!
- Sauna and cold plunge!!
- A variety of unique, rustic sleeping arrangements that feel like plush camping
- Beautifully prepared, organic plant-based meals for the weekend. Some fish or meat may be included, and you will have a choice for vegetarian if you wish.
- Evening campfire hangs!

- All meals will be plant-based, gluten and dairy free. Meat and dairy options will be available at some meals.
