Past Retreats

Find refuge in the redwoods at Pema Osel Ling, a Tibetan Buddhist retreat center nestled in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Away from distractions and demands, you will be guided to connect with yourself more deeply and to remember who you really are. With practices designed to tap you into the wisdom of your body and heart, you will chart your path inward and make your way home to yourself. 

Choose from an abundance of guided practices including Yoga Nidra, Conscious Connected Breathwork, walking meditation, and, of course, your yoga practice. You will also have the opportunity to take time for yourself to walk, journal, meditate, gather in community, or visit the statue of the Buddha Padmasambhava.

Over the course of this weekend, surrounded by nature and sacred spaces, with the support of a like minded community, you will drop into what matters most. Guided by your deepest wishes, you will begin 2024 with a quiet mind and clear intention.

 Back to the Heart: Peace, Play and Yoga with Katy Cryer & Gillian Hull

Pura Vida Ecoretreat, Yelapa, Mexico

Apr 9 - 15, 2023

About this trip

On this retreat, you will be guided to tap into what you love and and what brings you joy. You will rediscover the awe and wonder of feeling childlike and at home in your body and heart.

In the magical pueblo of Yelapa, where there are no cars and we arrive by boat, we will practice, play, and explore. This retreat is designed to set the conditions so that you experience a complete nervous system reboot. Daily practice, the ocean, peaceful surroundings, and good company will peel away layers of tension and worry and leave you feeling open, spacious, and energized. When the conditions are set in this way and life obligations set aside for a time, a feeling of easy freedom is allowed to enter, which you can take home and infuse back into your life.
