Private Home | Ahwahnee, CA

Flyer & Registration

 

We meet at a beautiful private home in Ahwahnee, CA. It’s located on secluded tree-filled 2.5 acres with pathways trhoughout and a refreshing in-ground pool. This retreat is non-denominational without any attachment to a particular religion or dogma. Meditations and practices are spiritual in nature, and you get to define that for yourself.

 

Who Should Attend?

Finding your community is important. Community offers support, keeps us healthy and increases our happiness.

So, this retreat is all about creating community while honoring who you are and what you bring to this world. Along the way, you will learn new practices and rituals to guide you in this journey. If this speaks to you, you should attend!
