This Spring, awaken within and celebrate the vibrancy of renewal, hope, transformation, and growth with Leila Swenson… This yoga retreat weekend in the stunning and magnificent coastal redwoods is an invitation to step away from the demands of daily life and enjoy space for self-inquiry and reflection, solitude and community connection, invigorating and relaxing yoga practice, chanting mantra and silent meditation, as well as opportunities for hiking, reading, rest, exploring, and more!

We hope you’ll join us for the joy, peace, and wellness of yoga practice, the natural beauty of Springtime in the countryside, delightful vegetarian cuisine, the sanctuary of private, luxurious, and cozy cottages, and the kindness and care of the community in this serene “Land of Treasures”… All are welcome.”We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep.” ~Henry David Thoreau
