Pleasure In the Garden
Half-day Herbal Self-Care Retreat
Join me for a nature immersion in the beautiful Redwood Dreams retreat center in Occidental, California, to slow down and enjoy the sensual pleasures of deep nourishment and rejuvenation.
Nestled on a nine acre farm overlooking the Bodega Mountains with a Pacific Ocean view peaking through, our site offers a true getaway in the uniquely sunny “bananabelt” of the redwood forest, with an average temperature of 70-75 degrees in the spring and summer.
Give yourself the gift of total relaxation in the peace of our private garden sanctuary, infused with natural beauty and sensuality at every step. Enjoy the pleasure of seasonal, on-site botanicals, nourishing teas and broths, organic herbal products and return to the rhythm with nature with flowers in your bath and in your hair!
Even with our best daily self-care practices, it can be challenging to release tension and stress. Setting aside time to unwind outside the patterns of everyday life cultivates the space to reset our perspective as well as our nervous system.
