Temple of You
Nurturing Embodied Elemental Connection
Somatic Ritual, Nature Play
Sacred Plant Medicine + Sound Healing
Immerse yourself in the healing waters of the beautiful Yuba river surrounded by a nature paradise and supported by a team of expert healers and guides through sacred practices, delicious movement, cleansing foods and supportive community of women.
We gather under the sun, moon and stars to root and blossom, reclaiming our life-force by remembering nature’s harmonious flow. Over the course of five deeply restorative days together we’ll journey to mark the descent into Fall through earth-healing practices, shamanic rituals and embodied movement.

“I hope you will go out and let stories, that is life, happen to you, and that you will work with these stories... water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom.”

Location
​
The retreat is located on a habitat preserve; adjacent to 650 acres of state parkland, along the beloved Yuba River. Just over 2 hours from The Bay Area. Explore creek waterfalls and private trails along the Yuba River.
With the backdrop of nature’s sounds, the aromas of old pine and oak trees, the medicinal plants that live in the winding trails, our getaway is the ideal place for rejuvenation, rest, and reconnection.
Intentional in design, the home itself holds an artistic rustic aesthetic. With a big, sunny deck overlooking the forest, it’s easy to bathe in the simple luxury of feeling the warmth on your skin and attuning to the subtle rhythms of nature around. Every bedroom is made up with organic linens. Each bathroom features organic towels with natural products.
You may book a private king bedroom with your own bathroom, a private queen bedroom with shared bathrooms, a shared queen bedroom {shared households only—please message us to arrange}, a private cabin near the river, or pitch a tent in one of our campsites. WiFi is available at the main retreat house but is very limited in the surrounding area.
If you have any questions about the accommodation, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
