Berkeley, California — where sacred healing meets the beauty of the Bay Area.

More than a retreat — this is a deeply intentional healing experience rooted in tradition, care, and transformation. Located in Berkeley, California, this experience offers the opportunity to step away from the intensity of daily life without needing to travel across the world. Nestled between the redwoods, rolling hills, breathtaking coastline, and iconic landscapes of the San Francisco Bay Area, guests are invited into a setting that feels both grounding and expansive — where nature, beauty, and culture meet.

Conveniently located near both Oakland International Airport and San Francisco International Airport, this experience is ideal for busy professionals, caregivers, entrepreneurs, and individuals seeking a profound reset without committing to a week-long international retreat. Many guests choose to turn their ceremony into a restorative weekend getaway — pairing deep healing work with luxury hotels, spa experiences, scenic drives through Marin, time among the redwoods, or quiet evenings overlooking the Bay.

Berkeley and the greater Bay Area offer a unique blend of accessibility, natural beauty, sophistication, and soul — making this an ideal destination for those craving meaningful transformation in a setting that feels elevated, restorative, and deeply alive.
