Nervous System Reset and Wellness Retreat in the Mountains of California

The retreat starts at 10 am with a welcome circle, where Donara sets intentions with the group. From there, you move through a guided meditation that's meant to go deeper than your average session, quieting the mind and reconnecting you with your inner sense of calm. The day continues with therapeutic stretching, targeted bodywork, and a session in the sauna followed by a cold plunge — the contrast is meant to release physical tension and recalibrate your nervous system. There's also a 'needle-bed body release' and a herbal tea ceremony, and the day wraps up with a self-discovery practice that helps you reconnect with who you are beneath the exhaustion.

For those staying overnight, the experience deepens after sunset with a sound bath, a rest in the yurt under the stars, and a pre-dawn meditation in the mountains before you leave. The next morning, after breakfast, you'll have time for a final integration session before heading back to the city. The whole retreat is personal — Donara leads every session herself, and the small group size means you'll feel supported and cared for from start to finish.

What makes this retreat special is that it's not a passive spa day. Every practice builds on the last, and you're guided through a full-body reset that leaves you feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to yourself. Whether you come alone, with a partner, or with a friend, you'll leave with practical tools for managing stress and a renewed sense of calm.
