California Yoga + Meditation Retreat
Remembering Our True Nature: A Wellness Retreat for Women

Join Valerie, Jess, and Meg for an incredible experience in Southern California's beautiful Santa Rosa Plateau region. Reconnect with yourself, commune with nature, and spend time with like-minded women at the Ojas Retreat Center, surrounded by stunning hiking and biking trails, horseback riding, and wineries.

Within the ever-growing hustle and bustle of life, reconnecting with our purpose, why, and genuine nature is becoming increasingly more important.
Spend five days in an extraordinary setting practicing vinyasa yoga, meditation, mindful walking, and time in nature. Enjoy nourishing plant-based meals and absorb a balance of personal retreat time within the community. Bring your partner, family, or travel independently and gain life-long friendships. Reinvigorate from within and depart with the uplifting energy of Ojas.

Price includes accommodations for 4-nights; pre-breakfast, brunch, afternoon nosh & dinner, plus tea, coffee, and filtered water. Retreat price depends on room selection. Price does not include airfare, ground transportation, and activity fees.
