Winter Renewal Retreat
Held during the first half February (in connection with Chinese New Year), this gathering is a wonderful introduction to Healing Cultures. It is also a beautiful opportunity to start the new year from a grounded space, connected to the elements of nature and a community of like-minded individuals.
This is a very special retreat involving ritual and self-reflection and opening up a way to renew as you enter the new year. It is an experience that enables a deep journey of healing and gives you practices to take with you that can support you throughout the year ahead.
Each day of our retreat will include ritual, yoga, meditation, and working deeply with Esalen's natural hot springs waters. For those returning participants, you will enjoy how each year offers the opportunity to peel off more onion layers while diving deeper into the space of healing and transformation.

The following is a general outline of the retreat schedule. Anytime we are not “in session” is essentially free time for participants to enjoy the hot springs, book a massage, explore the grounds, etc.
