Women’s Retreat

This gorgeous retreat center in Southern California has been recently renovated under a new owner who knows exactly what we need to dive deep into practice and to create space for community.

Each room sleeps 2-3-or-4 guests. We will match you with other solo travelers or you can claim a whole room if you book as a friend/family group.

We’re gathering to practice, and to co-create a space for healing & joy.

All are welcome, whether you are new to yoga or have been practicing or teaching for years.

Show up as your whole self. Bring your cultural heritage and all the pieces of your life with you onto your mat and meditation cushion.

All you need to pack are clothes that you are comfortable in for group practice. Yoga mats and props are provided by the retreat center hosts.

A note from Alicia:

Circles and yoga have been a balm for me on my journey of rediscovery. When I was younger the women in my family gathered in the kitchen. They shared stories, laughed, cried, and cooked. As a child I would watch and admire from afar. When I got older, I became part of the circle. When we gathered, I felt held, supported and present. Wisdom was exchanged, knowledge was shared, and energy was transmitted. It felt like magic.

I abandoned the circles at Mama’s because I became too busy but later, I found my way back. I felt a calling in my bones - a calling back to my self and back into circles.

I hope to be with you in circle in November. Come gather, absorb, and honor presence with us.

Some of our practice time will be devoted to special workshops designed to give you tools that you can take with you - tools and inspiration that will bring more awareness and joy into your everyday life:

Release & Transform

Calm Yourself / Energize Yourself

Celebrating Your Roots

Creating Vision Boards

Jennifer will treat you to live music with crystal singing bowls and gongs a few times during your stay - during savasana and/or a separate session for deep healing.

Just lie back and let the sound rinse out some of what’s weighing you down.

Our in-house chef at Ojas will wow us with two plant-based meals each day: post-yoga brunch & dinner.

Early fruit, coffee, and tea will be ready if you need some fuel before morning practice, and an afternoon snack will fuel our practice before dinner.

Other dietary requirements? Reach out to Jennifer or Alicia when you register to be sure that we know what you need.

Bring comfortable, close-toed shoes for some meditative group walks on trails just outside our door.

Spend your free time hiking at the Santa Rosa Ecological Reserve or tucked into one of the many outdoor seating areas for journaling, reading, and resting at OJAS.

Relax & unwind in our own private hot tub - we have the property to ourselves.

If the weather is still warm enough, enjoy the outdoor pool, too!

International/Domestic travel between your home and Ojas Retreat center is not included in the retreat package price.

Parking available on site. Retreat leaders will set up communication for ride sharing closer to our arrival date.
