Earth Nourishment Retreat

Immerse yourself in our serene five-acre spa retreat in West Sonoma County for a day of transformative self-care. To begin, your journey starts with a morning of relaxation, including a group cedar enzyme footbath, your choice of a 70-minute massage or a 65-minute custom facial, peaceful walking meditation through our bamboo forest, and guided meditation in our renowned Japanese garden.  Following this, a nourishing lunch, crafted by a local chef with fresh, wholesome ingredients will be offered in a magical creekside setting beneath the shade of oak and bay trees.

In the afternoon, Taylor Houston will guide you to connect deeply with the natural world, your own inner rhythms, and the healing energy of the land. To begin, she will lead a brief educational session that helps you align your lifestyle, eating habits, and self-care practices with the current season. Specifically, she will introduce seasonal herbs, foods, and rhythms that support vitality.

Next, we will activate and support the lymphatic system through gentle movement and by creating your own seasonal salt scrub using mineral salts and lymphatic-supportive herbs. As you blend your scrub, you’ll learn how the lymphatic system supports detoxification and immunity, and how to care for it naturally.

Afterward, we will conclude the afternoon with a guided meditation in communion with the spirit of rose — a plant teacher of the heart. You’ll work with rose flower essence and rose tea, and then reflect on the experience through journaling.

This retreat grounds itself in herbalism, intentional movement, and seasonal nutrition to offer a restorative blend of education, embodiment, and sensory engagement. You will leave feeling deeply rooted, refreshed, and empowered with tools to carry the spirit of the retreat into your daily life.
