Mountain Medicine Retreat
A day to reconnect with nature, restore your body, and quiet your mind.
Step away from the everyday and spend a peaceful day surrounded by the beauty of Big Bear. This intimate wellness retreat combines a mindful mountain hike, meditation, nourishing food, therapeutic massage, and a restorative sound bath for an experience designed to help you slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself.
More Than a Day in the Mountains
The mountains have a way of inviting us to slow down. To notice the fresh air, listen to the sounds around us, and create space to simply be present.
Join Big Bear Hiking Adventures and Indigo Mountain Wellness Center for a thoughtfully designed day of movement, mindfulness, and restoration. Together, we’ll combine the grounding experience of time outdoors with intentional wellness practices that leave you feeling refreshed, renewed, and connected.
Whether you’re looking for a peaceful reset, a meaningful experience with a friend, or simply a new way to experience Big Bear, this retreat offers a chance to step away from the noise and reconnect with what matters.

Guided Mindful Mountain Hike and Meditation
8:30am – 11:00am
Begin your day surrounded by the beauty of Big Bear’s mountain landscape. Shauna from Big Bear Hiking Adventures will guide you on an easy-paced hike featuring moments of mindfulness, meditation, and connection with nature.
This isn’t just about reaching the destination, it’s about enjoying the journey, noticing the small details, and creating space to be fully present.
Picnic Lunch
11:00am – 12:30pm
After your mindful hike, we’ll take time to relax and enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by the peaceful beauty of Big Bear.
Depending on availability, we’ll gather at a nearby picnic table or settle in beneath the trees on a blanket while enjoying a classic picnic lunch and time to connect with fellow participants.
Your picnic lunch includes:
- Sandwich from Jersey Mike’s
- Granola bar
- Bag of chips
After lunch, guests will have time to transition to the next part of the retreat. You’ll drive your own vehicle to Indigo Mountain Wellness Center for your therapeutic massage and restorative sound bath.
A quick note about the massage portion: Since this retreat begins outdoors, your massage therapists know you’ll be arriving after a mountain hike and are prepared for that. There is no shower facility available at the trail location, so we recommend bringing personal items that help you feel refreshed and comfortable, such as shower wipes, deodorant, a change of shirt, or any other personal care items you prefer.
Helpful Tip
You’ll be heading directly from the mountains to your massage experience. Pack anything that helps you feel comfortable and refreshed after your hike.
Therapeutic Massage
1:00pm – 2:00pm
Continue your afternoon of restoration with a one-hour therapeutic massage at Indigo Mountain Wellness Center.
Provided by licensed massage therapists, this personalized experience is designed to help you release tension and support relaxation after your time outdoors.
Restorative Sound Bath
2:30pm – 3:30pm
Close out your retreat with a guided sound bath designed to calm the mind and create a peaceful transition back into your everyday routine.
Allow yourself time to pause, breathe, and fully embrace the stillness of the moment.
