About this trip

Join us for a deeply restorative weekend in the beautiful Mendocino highlands. Together we will take time to slow down, unplug, and relax. Take a break from the stress of technology, work, and politics. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of this unique and secluded space. Enjoy yoga, meditation, sound healing, and other practices. Delicious organic vegetarian meals will be served daily for your nourishment. The healing waters of Orr Hot Springs, and the majestic Redwood trees of Montgomery State Forest are nearby. Take a soak in the mineral springs and enjoy a hike through one of the most magnificent forests in California. Massage and bodywork are also available.


Zazen Retreat Center is located just two hours north of San Francisco, in the Mendocino highlands between Ukiah and the Mendocino coast. The center is nested on a ridge with 40 acres of Oak and rolling hills with expansive views in all directions. This secluded location is perfect for supporting individual and group practices of awakening.

We were very delighted to have been a part of this retreat. The accommodations were great, the land was open, the yoga was wonderful, the food was just amazing and healthy, and the massage was spectacular. We felt permission to go at our speed and to wander free when we desired. The other guests were so friendly. We were very impressed with the effort that obviously went into the preparation. Everything was just perfect. Thank you so much for your generous spirits.

I have a wonderful experience on Sonya and Rasa's Retreat. It was so peaceful and I left feeling heart opened. Everyone who attended was so kind and it felt like being with family. I had no expectations going into the retreat and left feeling so please and excited to have developed new friendships and connections. Everyone contributed to the experience. There was definitely magic present.

Sonya & Rasa are truly masterful creators of community and sharing. Not only do they have such beautiful gifts--Sonya is an extraordinarily gifted conscious yoga teacher and Rasa is a superbly talented musician--but they also create the perfect container where others too can share their unique gifts. My partner & I were so touched to share our gifts of music and song with everyone, and to receive gifts from others in the community as well. The retreat center is beautiful, a truly "rustic chic" place full of magic and charm. We hope to be able to be back one day, and we are so grateful for this wonderful experience!

The Equinox Retreat with Sonya and Rasa was amazing!!! More than I ever could have asked for. Sonya's yoga is always fantastic and healing, Rasa's music was amazing and really deepened the yoga experience, the additional options for meditation and massage were lovely additions. They created the perfect environment for inward reflection and building community -- you could take what you wanted from the experience. Finally, the food was fantastic! Every meal was delicious and healthy - can't rave enough about it. If you are considering going on a retreat with Sonya - do it! It will be an amazing, healing experience.
