Details of this retreat

Step away from the relentless pace of daily life into a serene sanctuary in the redwoods, and join us for an intimate journey to rejuvenate and rediscover the deep reserves of vitality and joy that already reside within you.

This intimate mindfulness retreat is rooted in Klara’s signature program, The Journey to Joy. Drawing on powerful teachings that bridge ancient wisdom and modern science, together we will gently explore how to release accumulated stress, awaken the deep joy that already lives within you, and harness your natural energy so it flows in support of what matters most.

Guided by Klara through meditation and breathwork, and by Leslie’s soulful gentle yoga and mindful movement, you’ll discover how these practices open the door to deep inner renewal.

Held in the healing embrace of the redwoods, our nature connection sessions will powerfully support your healing and the natural flow of your energy, helping you align with life’s vital currents and flow. This is not about doing more or forcing change - it is a heartfelt journey of exploration and letting go, allowing you to step into a lighter, more radiant way of being.

You’ll leave feeling rejuvenated from the inside out - lighter, clearer, and glowing with a renewed sense of joy and vitality that you can carry with you long after the retreat ends.

What to Expect:

Gentle Yoga & Mindful Movement
Breathwork and Energizing Meditation Practices
Nature Connection Sessions
Deep-Dive Workshops from The Journey to Joy
Nourishing Community Connections

This retreat is for anyone ready to release stress, awaken inner joy, and harness their energy. You will return home refreshed and radiant, with simple, life-affirming practices to support you in the months ahead.

Sanctuary in the redwoods
If you are looking to escape the relentless pace of daily life, look no further. This retreat is a true sanctuary, offering a profound sense of peace from the moment you arrive. The location is breathtaking, with the entire space beautifully nestled among towering redwoods. Staying in the wooden cabins felt like a luxury; they are incredibly comfortable and provide a cozy, grounded atmosphere that complements the natural surroundings perfectly. The vegetarian meals were absolutely delicious and deeply nourishing.
The yoga studio itself is bright, peaceful, and framed by large windows that invite the forest inside. However, it is Martin Scott's instruction that truly defines the experience. Martin is exceptionally kind, gentle, and compassionate.
He possesses a rare talent for meeting every student exactly where they are. Whether you are a total beginner or an advanced practitioner, his accessible teaching style resonates deeply. I found his alignment cues to be transformative; they helped me advance my practice significantly while providing the tools to avoid future injury and maximize the benefits of every pose. Every evening, Martin led us in Yoga Nidra which left me feeling more relaxed than I have in years.
This retreat is the ultimate getaway from a hectic life. I cannot recommend it highly enough for anyone seeking to reconnect with themselves in a stunning, supportive environment.
