Ever notice how the ocean doesn’t fit into a box? Too vast, too fluid, too powerful to be labeled. Same. Out here, we move like water—strong, flexible, and 100% unapologetic. We’ll hike the wildest coastline in California, stretch under open skies, and sink into deep, meditative stillness that’ll have our nervous system sending us a thank-you note. Yoga at sunrise, meditation under the stars, deep belly laughs by the fire—this is a reset, a reunion, a reminder of how good it feels to take up space. No hustle. No hierarchy. Just waves, wonder, and a crew of humans who get it. Pack your curiosity, bring your boldest self, and let’s make some magic!
Some trips take you places—this one brings you back to yourself. On California’s wild Lost Coast, we’ll hike remote trails, breathe deep in oceanfront yoga flows, and sleep under a sky so big it’ll shift our perspective. This retreat is about moving with power and resting with purpose, surrounded by a crew of women and non-binary adventurers who know what’s important. The waves remind us to keep going, the land reminds us to slow down, and together, we’ll find balance in every step, stretch, and shared moment. Pack your strength. Bring your softness. Let’s unite.
We’ll meet at 1pm at the Black Sands Beach parking lot, where the wild Pacific meets the Lost Coast’s untamed beauty. After a welcome circle and wilderness orientation, we’ll take a scenic shuttle to Mattole Campground, settling into the rhythm of the land. As the sun dips, we’ll open our retreat with a grounding ceremony, setting intentions for the days ahead.
Accommodation: Camping
Our journey begins with a hike along the rugged coastline, tracing waves and cliffs to Cooskie Creek. Expect towering bluffs, soft black sand, and the meditative pull of the tide. After settling into camp, we’ll unwind with a deeply restorative yin yoga session, easing tired muscles and connecting breath with the rhythm of the sea. As dusk falls, we’ll gather for a guided meditation under the vast coastal sky.
Hiking: 7 mi (11.2 km)
Accommodation: Camping
We’ll wake to the sounds of nature and ease into the day with gentle morning yoga, breathwork, and eco-therapy practices designed to deepen our connection with the land. In the afternoon, we’ll continue our trek to Big Flat, a wild expanse where the river meets the ocean. Along the way, we’ll pause for a guided meditation, absorbing the raw beauty of the Lost Coast. As night settles in, we’ll gather for an evening sangha, sharing stories, laughter, and reflections by the fire.
Hiking: 8.5 mi (13.7 km)
Accommodation: Camping
A full day to slow down, recharge, and soak in the untamed beauty of Big Flat. We’ll begin with partner yoga, cultivating trust and connection, followed by Thai massage techniques to release tension and restore balance. Throughout the day, we’ll tap into creative expression with ecological art, using natural materials to reflect the land’s essence. As the sun sets, we’ll gather for a heartfelt closing circle, sharing reflections, laughter, and gratitude beneath the vast coastal sky.
Accommodation: Camping
We’ll rise with the rhythm of the ocean, savoring our final moments in this wild sanctuary. Then, we’ll lace up our boots and hike the last 9 miles (14.5 km) back to Black Sands Beach, tracing our journey along the rugged coastline. With each step, we’ll carry the lessons of the land, culminating in a closing nature-based ritual to honor our experience. By 4pm, we’ll return to where it all began—changed, renewed, and deeply connected.
Hiking: 9 mi (14.5 km)
