Retreats
Let’s rest and renew.
"Being on Retreat is an art. We come to be with our Self - to experience what is flowing and manifesting and shaping inside. How do I locate a place that is still and silent? Where is that stillness in the deep Self that I seek to have as a constant companion? As the true and eternal companion - that innate space of exquisite silence within.”
-Paul Muller-Ortega
Spring Renewal - Day Retreat
Sunday April 13th, 2025
9am–6pm
Join us for a day-long wellness retreat with Yoga Instructor Sonya Genel Dresser ERYT500 and musician, poet and chef Rasa, in a gorgeous private venue with sweeping views of Tilden Park in the Berkeley Hills. This event is a perfect way to slow down, invoke balance, and practice inward reflection.
Come take a break from the stress of technology, work, media and politics. Enjoy yoga, healing music, and other mindfulness practices. Immerse yourself in the tranquility of nature. Connect with like-hearted community.
A delicious organic vegetarian meal will be served for your nourishment. Optional activities include: taking free time, sauna, cold plunge, journaling, tarot, hiking, or meditation.
The current consciousness shift on earth is creating deeply challenging times for us. But it is also making tremendous healing and awakening possible. Now is the time to do our practices, listen deeply to our inner knowing, courageously follow our hearts, and support each other in our collective evolution!
