• Yes, there are routers in every building throughout the property, with WiFi speeds reaching 700+ mb/s depending on proximity to the nearest router. As far as internet needs, you’ll be just fine!

  • We will get you to the retreat. If you’re flying in, you don’t need to rent a car if you don’t want to!

  • Absolutely! There are discounted “add-on” prices for a “significant other” who’s sharing your bed. One of you can register with a room option of choice, and the other can then register at the much lower “add-on” rate.

  • The property has several laundry areas with modern laundry machines, including a dedicated laundry room. You are welcome to use them at your convenience any time. And laundry detergent is provided.

  • Our goal is to provide you with a high-end vacation experience, so don’t worry, you won’t be put up in a bunk house or any sort of shared-bedroom situation! We know that good sleep is critical, and so is having your own personal space at the end of the day (or whenever you feel like ‘checking out’).

  • Both are now legal in California, and as far as we’re concerned, that’s a good thing. All we ask is that you respect those around you when indulging, that you limit yourself to reasonable enjoyable amounts… and of course don’t drink before training.

    If you feel like having a couple beers or glasses of wine around the fire while dinner is being grilled, then go for it and enjoy. It’s our custom to share a few bottles of our favorite wines every evening — and you’re welcome to bring your own (Mendocino village, just a few minutes away, has a great selection of local beers and wines).

    For those who enjoy cannabis, you’re welcome to bring your own (or purchase some at a local shop in the Village)… so long as second-hand smoke is kept away from others (don’t worry, there’s plenty of outdoor space here!).

    Basically just be respectful and don’t get wasted… and it’s all good :)

  • Expect a world-class dining experience! We focus on organic, fresh, and local ingredients. We have relationships with local butchers, ranchers, gardeners, and grocers. We even have our own onsite garden, which we tap into as much as possible.

    Everything is included and you won’t have to open your wallet for anything while you’re here with us.

    Let us know if you don’t eat meat or if you have any unique dietary needs, and we will accommodate you however we can.

    Breakfasts are ‘made to order’ and lunches and dinners are made ‘family-style’.

    In addition to meals, we always supply a constant spread of snacks, fresh baked pastries, and organic fruit for guests to enjoy at any time. You can also count on a constant supply of freshly brewed coffee and teas, and an unlimited supply of a large variety of beverages, including: iced teas, juices, various sodas, sparkling water, coconut water, etc

    It’s also our custom to share a few bottles of our favorite local wines with our guests every evening. Wine enthusiasts can expect some of the best pinot noir produced in Northern California.

    You’re welcome to pick up your own supply of beer, wine, or spirits from Mendocino Village (just a few minutes away).

  • Unfortunately, No. Our resident mascots, George and Lilit, two Armenian Gamprs (Flock Guardian dogs) are quite territorial and like having the place to themselves! So for this reason, other dogs or pets are not allowed on the property.

  • Beginners are most welcome. Everyone is welcome to go at their own pace. We have multiple instructors for a relatively small group, so guests can expect individual attention based on their needs and experience level.

    Please contact us if you have any questions regarding your participation.

  • Absolutely not. Our camps welcome participants of all ages, from 20 to 80 years old, and all experience and mobility levels. Whether you're in your 50s, 60s, 70s, or beyond, we've had guests of all backgrounds join us and thrive. Our programs are designed to be accessible and adaptable, ensuring everyone can fully participate and benefit. They’ve all told us that they’ve had the time of their life and wished they hadn’t hesitated to sign up sooner.

    No one is required or expected to “go hard”. You can go at your own pace and sit out any time if you need to.

  • First of all, you can do as much or as little as you want. This is your vacation and we’re not gonna treat you like you’re at a kids summer camp!

    Each day we’ll organize a coastal hike or a trek to the waterfall, but if you’d rather stay and chill at the retreat you’re more than welcome to do so.

    We do Yoga twice per day (morning ‘flow’ and evening’ restorative’). The training is world-class but it’s not “militant”. If you need a break and want to sit out a session, that’s totally fine. Guided breath work sessions are offered daily too.

    We have incredible meals together, prepared onsite by our very own chefs. It’s high-end food but the vibe is very laid back. Feel free to join others around the big dining table in the clubhouse, or out on the back deck with epic wilderness views, or take your dinner plate down by the bonfire… or relax on the clubhouse sofa in front of the fireplace. Make yourself comfortable… it’s not assigned seating :)

    Use the hot tub or the sauna any time (they’re incredible for recovery, and they’re sitting right amongst the redwoods).

    Feel free to bring that book you’ve been meaning to read. It’s good to get some relaxation in between training sessions.

    We’ll likely organize a cold plunge or two in the ocean or at Big River Estuary. Again, join us if you want to, or simply chill out at the retreat if that’s you’re preference.

    It’s hard to put into words what an average week is like at the Retreat — but once you get here you’ll see that it’s magic — every group brings its own unique energy… and a level of community and connection that’s truly special, yet difficult to describe.
