Holding Space with Heart
A Restful Immersion for Facilitators
September 3-7, 2026
Mount Shasta, CA
This all-inclusive 4-night retreat is designed for yoga teachers, healers, wellness practitioners, and burned-out community leaders who are seeking a more intentional, grounded, and sustainable way to live, work, and support others.
Centered around best practices in facilitation, this restful immersion blends guided practice, reflective learning, connection with nature, and spacious time for integration to create an experience that is both restorative and professionally enriching.

For burned-out individuals, it offers a pathway toward renewal, self-connection, and a more intentional rhythm of life.

Rest. Restore. Remember Yourself.
You spend your days holding others through pain, uncertainty, and healing. This weekend is for you.
Set within our deeply healing nature sanctuary near Mount Shasta, CA, this healing retreat offers doctors, nurses, PTs, and anyone working in the healthcare field a rare opportunity to step out of the constant responsibility of care-giving and into deep rest, reflection, and renewal. Just space to breathe, soften, and reconnect with yourself.
Give yourself permission to shift from “doing” to “being”. Bring silence to your planning mind and allow your intuitive spirit to guide you back home to yourself. Sleep in an intentionally designed space for deep, restorative rest. Play, create, and vision whenever the inspiration strikes.
Receive support and connection with others through sharing circles, guided experiential walks on the land, community meals, healing massage, wellness workshops, and plenty of spaciousness and quiet to rest and reflect.
Enjoy a gentle life reset on our sacred land—one of the most grounding settings for a healing retreat.
