Ready to celebrate summer’s return? Get back into the awe-inspiring wildness of nature; Your skin being kissed by the sun; The simple joys of sleeping under the stars, lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves. 

Get ready for a trip of a lifetime - discovering your personal strength, bravery, and inner tranquility. We will live in the outdoors; getting close to the earth and ourselves. Bring your enthusiasm and open mind to experience something new and transformative.

Belong to an awesome community who also appreciate and respect nature, love adventure and thrive on supporting one another to finish that last mile at the end of the day. 

What to expect:

We will hike, practice yoga, enjoy shared bodywork and sit quietly in the presence of the great California coast.

This will be a moderately rated backpacking and yoga retreat, so don’t be shy. Beginners who have the appropriate health and fitness necessary for safe travels are welcome. This trip is also perfect for seasoned excursionists who would like to slow down and integrate mindfulness practice into their wilderness adventure. 

Participants will carry their own backpacks weighing 30 to 40 pounds with distances of 4 to 8 miles daily over rocky, sandy, and remote terrain.
