Come alive again. In case the last year has been stressful for you, it’s not too late to pivot. Come and soak up the good energy of the redwoods. Remember and reconnect with what’s really important to you. Come enjoy being a human being rather than a human doing.
This retreat will be a harmonious blend of yoga practices, free time activities, planned activities in the redwoods, great food and a variety of experiences designed to nourish your body, mind and spirit. Decompress from overstimulation, relax and renew. Shore up your inner strength.
Don’t forget to bring a friend! It is so much fun and so meaningful to share this type of adventure.
Land of Medicine Buddha is magnificent. Words can’t describe it. The Dalai Lama himself has stayed on this property. An overarching sense of peacefulness and a heart of wisdom permeates everything there.

What People Are Saying
As a newbie at last year’s yoga retreat with Julianne, I discovered how to reset my neck so as not to resemble a chicken pecking about for grain (aka nerdy writer scrutinizing his screen). Then, wandering along the 8-Verse Trail, a series of signposts revealed a mindset conducive to universal peace and happiness—from angles I hadn’t considered. Nor was this all. During the course of the weekend, because everyone I met was open to divine possibility (bowing to the light in each other, as it were) I had several exquisite conversations resulting in new friendships that have endured. Truly, the whole experience was something to crow—er, sing—about. Speaking of which, I can’t wait to chant Kirtan with the gifted David Rhodes and his friends in this year’s musical evening at the meadow. What a treat that will be!
