Relax, Reset, Renew

“Life isn’t about finding yourself; it’s about creating yourself!”- George Bernard Shaw

We are delighted to offer a small, intimate community gathering that invites you to start this new year with intention. Come together for a day of renewal, relaxation, and rejuvenation. Stretch your body and mind with slow flow yoga, followed by a lecture on nutrition and eating for happiness and health. End your day of renewal by filling your soul with the medicine of healing sound from Blue Muse Sound Healing. And, because we think that every gathering is better with goats, you will be greeted by one of Goatlandia’s ambassador goats as you depart! Goat snuggles included.

This day retreat includes teas, fresh juices as well as a beautiful plant based lunch.

Special thanks to Mycopia Mushrooms in Sebastopol for their yummy contributions towards lunch.
