Unplug & Reconnect: A Weekend Wellness Retreat

One-Night Experience

Dates: Friday, October 2 - Saturday, October 3, 2026

Where: Chaminade Resort & Spa (Santa Cruz, California)

Why This Retreat?

This retreat offers a guided opportunity to step away from daily stress and reconnect with yourself in Santa Cruz, Ca. Set among redwood forests and near the Pacific Ocean, this two-night retreat blends nature, mindfulness, and movement to support stress relief, mental clarity, and full-body renewal. You’ll return home feeling calmer, more focused, and equipped with tools to support long-term well-being.

Most of us spend 90% of our lives indoors, caught in a constant fight-or-flight loop of screens, deadlines, and overstimulation. This weekend invites you to lean into the steady heartbeat of the redwoods and the soothing rhythm of the Pacific Ocean for a lasting reset. You’ll take a deep dive into the proven healing properties of forest and ocean—returning home calmer, clearer, and more fluid in body and mind. You’ll also gain practical, evidence-based tools to manage stress long after the retreat ends.
