November 12-16, 2026
Step away from the demands of everyday life and rediscover the spaciousness to breathe, reflect, and reconnect.
Stay, eat, rest... we've taken care of the details.
“This was a fantastic, relaxing and yet energizing weekend. It was worth every penny to invest in this reset for myself and to enjoy some much-needed girl and personal growth time. Not just with the women I already knew but with other women I met with whom I am honored to have shared this experience and connection with. The accomodations, the food (omg, the food!) and the retreat setting are on point. See you next year for sure!” — Tanja from Redwood City, CA
What Awaits You
Surrounded by towering pines and the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada near Yosemite National Park, this 4.5-day retreat invites you to slow down, rediscover yourself, and experience life at a different pace.
Over four nights, you'll enjoy yoga, meditation, engaging workshops, restorative practices, nourishing meals, time in nature, and genuine connection with a small community of women.
Some women arrive seeking clarity. Others are ready for growth. Many simply know they need to slow down and reset. Whatever brings you here, you'll discover what you need when life becomes quiet enough to listen.

Every retreat is thoughtfully designed around a central theme, making each year a unique experience while staying true to the heart of reMIND.

Workshop themes vary each year and may include:
The Language of the Body – discovering the wisdom your body has been communicating all along
The Inner Compass – practical NLP tools for navigating thoughts, emotions, and life's transitions
Sound & Stillness – creating space for reflection, restoration, and integration
The Art of Allowing – creative experiences that invite curiosity, self-expression, and new perspectives
The Embodied Self – using movement to deepen awareness and strengthen the connection between mind and body
Yoga for Every Body
Whether you're new to yoga or have practiced for years, every class is designed to meet you where you are. Together, Stephanie and Jena offer a variety of styles throughout the retreat, including Gentle Hatha, Vinyasa, Restorative, Yin, and Focused Flow.
Many classes conclude with a deeply relaxing sound healing experience using Tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls, chimes, and other restorative instruments.
