A Sacred Remembering on the Mendocino Coast “You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” ~ Rumi
This retreat is an invitation to remember who you are beneath the layers of doing, striving, and becoming.

This retreat is an invitation to remember who you are beneath the layers of doing, striving, and becoming.
So much of life teaches us to move quickly, to stay guarded, to believe we are small—separate drops navigating a vast and often overwhelming world. Rumi reminds us of something ancient and deeply true: we are not separate from the ocean of life. We carry the whole within us.
Set along the rugged, breathtaking Mendocino coast—where the redwoods meet the sea and the land opens into stillness—this five-day retreat offers a safe, spacious pause. A chance to step out of the noise of everyday life, soften the nervous system, quiet the mind, and gently return home to yourself.
Here, at the edge of the continent and the edge of stillness, we gather in a grounded and compassionate container to rest, to be seen, and to be held. Through yoga, meditation, nature immersion, silence, ritual, and shared presence, we explore the self through body, breath, mind, and lived experience. We remember who we are—not as fragments moving alone, but as a unified consciousness expressing itself through each unique body and story.
This is not about fixing or becoming something new.
It is about remembering.
Returning.
Coming home.
