Coherent Body: Desert Retreat
Dissolve and Rebuild
Joshua Tree, CA
Wed, March 11- Sun,15
The desert has long been a place of introspection and renewal.
Joshua Tree in particular holds a special place in my heart.
I went on my first 10-day silent retreat here over the New Year in 2002.
I went on my first camping trip in Joshua Tree National Park with my then boyfriend, my now husband. We left on a rainy night in 2004 and slept in the car. We woke up covered in snow. Magical.
It is quiet, spare, immense.
I’d love to show you what is possible when you focus yourself to multiple, successive days of diving inwards deeply, and connecting outwards with ancient nature.
Limited to 7 people (one private room, others are shared spaces with 2 types of beds).
Because it will be a small group, I’ll need full commitment before I can reserve the accommodation.
Please email me as soon as you can commit with your choice of accommodation.
We will be in a geodesic dome home just outside Joshua Tree National Park. It can be windy in Joshua Tree in March, so the indoor pool and hot tub are an incredible feature.
