Yosemite Renewal

Saturday, October 25, 2025 - Wednesday, October 29, 2025

A retreat for women in recovery from any life challenges - to unplug, reset, and discover a renewed sense of self.

Yosemite Renewal is an invitation to PAUSE... to unplug, reset, and discover a renewed sense of self.

Together, we will gather in the mountains, where the grounding forest energy invites the nervous system to settle. We will stay in a beautiful home on 50 acres, with trails and amenities including a spacious hot tub, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, and comfy spots to nestle in and enjoy the space. Just 12 miles from Yosemite’s southern entrance, this one-of-a-kind location offers the perfect setting to soak in the natural beauty of the Fall, with leaves painted every shade of golden red and yellow, the air crisp and clear, the views sweeping and awe-inspiring.

The retreat includes four nights/five days, with daily offerings of yoga and restorative movement, optional planned activities, artistic outlets, and lots of space for wandering and exploration. We will venture into Yosemite for a day of exploring with nature walks and trails, a picnic lunch in the valley, and a gentle hike to Sentinel Dome for spectacular sunset views. All are welcome to engage in as much or as little as desired. In the evenings, we’ll gather around a fire for optional sharing and reflection. In-home massage therapy will be available for booking.

Yosemite Renewal will have a maximum of seven participants. This is an intentionally intimate group, designed for connection and comfort as we co-create an experience of a lifetime together!

Yosemite Renewal offers a delicious balance of nature and the outdoors, connection, exploration, and nourishing self-care, with the guidance of professional, trauma-informed facilitators.
