California Dreaming— Women's Yoga & Wellness Retreat

If we relate to the natural world as alive, full of spirits and elemental beings, the natural world speaks to us." —Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, Healing With Form, Energy, and Light: The 5 Elements in Tibetan Shamanism, Tantra, & Dzogchen

Join us for this small group experience for self-care, community, joy, and greater depth on your life journey. During our 5 day women's retreat, we will dive deeply into body intelligence; engage with the universal elements; and connect to a higher frequency. This will facilitate natural healing, develop your intuition, and expand your consciousness. Our setting will be Alameda, California— a unique island nestled between San Francisco and Oakland.
