Coastal Redwoods Women's Weekend Retreat

Trip Details

Just north of San Francisco lies a majestic redwood forest tucked away in a serene landscape, ready for us to explore. Join us for a 3-day retreat to Samuel P. Taylor State Park in Marin County. This park offers a peaceful escape with towering coast redwoods, lush ferns, and winding streams. It's a great place to explore the natural beauty of the Bay Area, with a variety of trails that take you through vibrant redwood groves. It’s a wonderful spot to reconnect with nature, and an ideal place for a peaceful day trip or weekend getaway. During our visit, we’ll hike the nearby trails beneath towering redwoods, immerse ourselves in forest therapy, practice yoga stretches, relax and focus on our well-being, and enjoy restful sleep beneath the stars. Redwood trees offer a mix of environmental factors (clean air, natural compounds) and psychological effects (calmness, awe) that lead to a range of benefits for both body and mind.
