The retreat venue is in an area called La Cresta, northwest of Murrieta & Temecula.

Here are the closests airports:

- ONT (Ontario/LA/San Bernardino) 51 miles

- SBD (San Bernardino Airport) 53 miles

- SNA (John Wayne/ Orange County Airport) 62 miles

- SAN (San Diego Airport) 74 miles

- LAX (Los Angeles Airport) 88 miles

The easiest travel time/most direct route is from ONT (Ontario) about 50 minutes. ONT has direct flights from 26 cities. SAN (San Diego) is the largest/most direct flights airport with the easiest road travel time, 65-80 minutes. Although LAX likely has the most air travel options, it is by far the most challenging due to unpredictable traffic.

*Local Tip: Try to arrive at any airport at or before 1pm (2pm at the latest), otherwise you may be in some unpleasant traffic and arrive late to your retreat.

Options for getting to Ojas from the airports include renting a vehicle or hiring a car service like Uber or Lyft which typically costs $60-$140 depending on location and timing. Or, a service can be hired such as Temecula Air Shuttle or Transit Van Shuttle to transport an individual or group.

We have a private parking lot onsite for our guests. Parking is complimentary.

Inner child work is an approach to recognizing and healing emotional injuries and wounds that took place in early life. By using play and exploration with a ‘beginner’s mindset’ (discovering new things and viewing experiences with a fresh perspective), you can reparent your inner child and heal old wounds. We believe that once you learn to heal your inner child, you can reconnect to your divine feminine and become your truest self.

Expressive arts is a creative, experiential approach to healing that uses movement, art, writing, music, sound, and other forms of creative expression to help you explore and process your inner experience. No artistic experience or talent is required—the focus isn’t on creating something “good,” but on using creativity as a pathway to greater self-awareness, connection, and healing.

NOPE, our wellness retreats are NOT therapy and they are not a substitute for mental health counseling or any other healthcare service.

Our wellness retreats operate under a support model. When we work together in this way, we will be supporting you towards your specific and self-identified goals for wellbeing or self-improvement.

It’s important to note, that while we are also licensed therapists, our wellness retreats are NOT mental health counseling, nor are they considered a healthcare service, and should NOT be used as a substitute for any healthcare service.

If you require mental health support or any healthcare service, we will provide you with referrals for a healthcare provider.

We have been so very lucky to have had incredible women attend our retreats. The women have come from all walks of life and all age groups, but have formed very deep and long lasting relationships. We believe this is because we all come together with the same purpose. We all want to heal and grow and experience transformation. With this being the guiding force leading women to our retreats, we find that everyone can connect, no matter their background.

This retreat is the right fit for you if:

- You have done personal healing work before and want to go deeper, not start from scratch.

- You are familiar with somatic or body-centered approaches and want immersive practice, not an introduction.

- You can hold your own nervous system when things get tender, and you are ready to be in community with other women doing the same.

- You are not only looking for a quiet solo getaway. You are ready to be witnessed, to witness others, and to do that in a small, intentional group.

- You want a container that does not back away from depth, because you are tired of surface-level experiences.

This retreat may NOT be the right fit for you if:

- This would be your first time exploring trauma, inner child work, or somatic practices. We have another retreat designed for that entry point. (See: Courageously Playful at Tender Arrow, LLC.)

- You are in an acute mental health crisis or an early stage of trauma recovery. This work requires a degree of nervous system capacity that takes time to build. Please reach out before registering if you are unsure.

- You are hoping to primarily observe or move in and out of the group process without engaging.

The Soul Of Service Retreat is a shared therapeutic container where your presence matters.

You are always welcome to take space, pause, or step back when needed—this is a trauma-informed space that honors your nervous system and autonomy. At the same time, the depth of the experience depends on your willingness to actively participate in the group process, be present with yourself and others, and engage in the work as it unfolds.

Our retreats are intentionally anti-racist, inclusive, justice-oriented, and affirming of LGBTQIA+ and gender-diverse identities. We ask all participants to arrive with a commitment to respect, curiosity, accountability, and collective care.
