Wellness and Surf Escape on the Big Sur Coast

The retreat runs over three full days and three nights, with a schedule that balances group activities with plenty of free time. Each morning starts with a yoga session on a grassy lawn overlooking the ocean, with the sound of the creek nearby. Afternoons are often spent in the water, with surf lessons led by local instructors. As the day winds down, you'll gather for a sound bath under the stars, with crystal bowls, drums, and bells. There's also a guided breathwork session to help you tap into the power of your breath.

Massage therapy is available on site, with several skilled therapists offering different modalities—you can book a private session during your free time. The hosts, Briana and Belinda, are artists, musicians, and mothers who have created a welcoming, communal atmosphere. Most meals are prepared by them, often using produce from a family farm in San Luis Obispo County, and sometimes even fresh fish caught by Briana's husband or mussels gathered from the shoreline.

What makes this retreat stand out is its inclusivity: children can attend for free, and well-behaved pets are welcome too. All meals are provided for attendees and their families, with gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options always available. The property itself is off the grid, but that's part of the charm—it's a chance to disconnect from screens and reconnect with nature and each other.
