Whole Hearted You: Coastal Redwoods Yoga Retreat
Calling out to all big-hearted, tree-hugging, magic-making humans! Hosted this year in mid-November, this retreat is an opportunity for you to connect to gratitude with the support of daily mindfulness and movement practices, connection to a community of like-hearted people, immersion in the healing properties of the surrounding Redwoods and nearby Pacific Ocean, and opportunities to reflect on, explore and express the fullness of life in a space where all bodies and all beings are welcome.
During this 4-day retreat, we will:
... sweat, stretch, strengthen and restore our bodies with daily yoga (a balance of Vinyasa Flow, Slow Flow, Restorative, Yin and Yoga Nidra);
... ignite our courage and awaken our senses with a daily cold plunge in the almighty Pacific ocean and ground ourselves among the gentle giants of the surrounding Redwood Forest;
... delight our senses and fill our bellies with delicious and nutritious home-cooked meals by our very own personal chef;
... dance wildly and sing loudly, rest deeply and connect authentically with friends, both old and new;
... clear our minds and break free of the shackles of accumulated stress, feelings of isolation, and the layers of misunderstanding about who we are and why we are here;
... expand the capacity of our hearts to hold all the joy and all the sorrow, to belly laugh and ugly cry, and to reflect with childlike awe and wonder on the meaning of life;
... soak up the warmth of the autumn sun with deep reverence, and stargaze under the night sky while singing songs around the campfire or silently contemplating the vastness of the universe;
... experience ourselves as whole and be nourished - body and mind, heart and soul, individual and collective - in this magical and newly renovated retreat center tucked into the serene Redwoods and just 5 minutes from the Pacific Ocean.
Spirit Camp is nestled in the enchanting redwoods on the Mendocino coast of Northern California, unceded territory of the Pomo people.

Only a mile inland from the Pacific Ocean, you can enjoy bluff-lined beaches, hike through redwood state parks, river canoe, and ocean kayak within minutes from camp.
