12:00pm: Check out

As winter releases its hold and the days begin to stretch, we invite you to step away from daily life and shake off the excess noise. Open your spirit to connection, nature, and shared experience.

The Spring Equinox Women’s Gathering is a thoughtfully designed weekend retreat in the San Bernardino Mountains, created for women who want to slow down, reconnect, and experience nature in a supportive, welcoming environment.

This is not about performance, productivity, or perfection.
This is about belonging, presence, and meaningful connection with the land, with other women, and with yourself.

Physical Activity Level

No prior hiking or camping experience is required.

Activities are moderate and adaptable.
Hikes are guided, paced intentionally, and include rest opportunities.

If you can walk comfortably on uneven terrain and enjoy being outdoors, this retreat is likely a good fit. If you have concerns about mobility or health, you’re encouraged to reach out before booking.

Is this retreat right for you?

If you answer yes to at least one of these questions, this retreat is right for you.

  1. Do you crave connection with other women?
  2. Do you want to spend meaningful time in nature?
  3. Do you feel disconnected or overstimulated by daily life?
  4. Do you enjoy gentle outdoor activity?
  5. Do you appreciate shared meals and community?

Full Price: $299

Price includes:

Two nights of tent camping (campground fees included)
