wild heart wellness

Winter in the Sequoias holds a quiet magic. Snow-dusted giants stand tall in the forest, while in the foothills tender leaves begin to unfurl and newts emerge from their hidden homes. 

This retreat invites you to align with this moment of rebirth - this precipice of balancing the stillness of winter with the stirring of spring.

Over four days together we’ll honor the themes of stillness and emergence through practices of yoga and meditation, ritual, and nature connection, while honoring ancient Ayurvedic guidance.

As you step out of routine and into the living forest, you’ll rediscover your innate sense of inspiration, remember what truly matters, and cultivate the atmosphere your soul longs for: innovation, impulse, imagination, and creation.

What Makes This Retreat Special?

This space of late winter and early spring is a threshold between endings and beginnings. Just as the buckeye pushes out tender new leaves and the newts stir awake in mountain creeks, we too are called toward emergence.
