Yoga Retreat California

Introspection through Reflection

An immersive weekend of self-inquiry

What to Expect

A sacred weekend with Lisa and Kierstie focused on deep inquiry and self-reflection. This retreat experience is uniquely crafted to turn your focus inward and journey with the community on a spiritual quest of self-awareness and clarity. Through introspective modalities such as meditation, journaling, conscious self-care, healthy and vibrant meals, nature bathing, and so much more. We will enjoy a supportive space to foster time for rest and deep soul nourishment.

Our hope for this retreat is that each person will reveal deeper layers of who they are to kindle a kinder and more accepting relationship with themselves. This retreat is for anyone looking to take their life to the next level, to love deeper, and to leave with a sense of restoration and peace.

The Place

Just outside of San Diego city limits lies a tranquil and nature-abundant sanctuary called Ojas Retreat Center located in the heart of the Santa Rosa Plateau, just outside of Temecula. This Southern California destination is surrounded by miles of hiking, biking, and horseback trails, award-winning wine vineyards, sunsets, and sunrises to swoon for. Ojas is a Sanskrit word that means vigor and vitality and refers to the inner fire we need to fulfill our purpose and live out our most aligned life. Ojas Retreat Center is a place of restoration, connection, and healing.
