Mountain Medicine
A Day to Experience Big Bear Differently
A guided day retreat combining a peaceful morning hike, picnic lunch, massage, and sound bath in collaboration with Indigo Mountain Wellness Center.
Sometimes You Just Need a Day Outside
There are days when you don’t need another thing added to your schedule. You just need a little space to breathe, a beautiful place to walk, and time to enjoy the moment.
Mountain Medicine was created for those days.
Spend the morning exploring the forest with a guided hike, share a picnic lunch, then continue the afternoon at Indigo Mountain Wellness Center with massage and a sound bath.
It’s a full day in Big Bear designed around enjoying the mountains, slowing the pace a little, and making time for yourself.
More Than a Day Hike
The hike is where the day begins, but it isn’t where it ends.
After spending the morning exploring the mountains, you’ll share a picnic lunch before heading to Indigo Mountain Wellness Center for a massage and a relaxing sound bath.
Each part of the day offers a different way to enjoy the mountains: moving through the forest, sharing a meal, and settling into a slower afternoon. You’ll spend time moving, resting, sharing a meal, and simply enjoying a full day set aside to be outdoors.
Here’s How the Day Unfolds
Guided Morning Hike
We’ll start the day with a guided hike through the Big Bear forest. Along the way, you’ll have time to enjoy the scenery, learn a little about the area, and settle into the pace of the day. It’s a chance to stretch your legs, enjoy the mountain scenery, and settle into the slower pace of the day before the afternoon begins.
Picnic Lunch
After the hike, we’ll gather for a picnic lunch before you make your way to Indigo Mountain Wellness Center. It’s a chance to enjoy lunch, conversation, and a little time to simply sit and take in the mountain setting.
Massage
After your morning outside, you’ll enjoy a massage at Indigo Mountain Wellness Center. Settle into the time to relax your muscles and enjoy the quieter side of the afternoon.
Sound Bath
Indigo Mountain Wellness Center will finish the day with a guided sound bath. It’s a peaceful way to close out your time in the mountains before heading home.
