I waited a week before posting a review and am happy to say this was the reset I needed! The entire experience exceeded my expectations and I’ve embraced the learnings , my own personal goals and connections with others. And the food…did I mention the food?? Chef Perla is amazing! Thank you John and team for an incredible experience and amazing memories. Much appreciated!

Attended the Oct 2024 retreat in San Diego. It was a profound experience. The content and flow was exactly right. It's hard to know what to expect going into an experience like this but you will certainly get what you put in and if you spend the time are guaranteed to feel results that you can pull from and look back on for the rest of your life. Really grateful to have had this experience and for Johns facilitation.

I’m so glad I chose SoCal Wellness Retreat as my first wellness retreat for a much needed break and it did not disappoint! What an absolute experience and exceeded my expectations, from the moment I stepped in the location John and Amanda welcomed me with open arms. Everyone was really nice, genuine and supportive and made new good friends. The Yoga, breathing exercises, meditation, cold plunges, group sessions was amazing and truly transformative. My favorites are Yoga, breath works and meditation that I will incorporate in my day to day routine. Oh the foods! Chef Perla is such an angel, thank you for making us all the delicious, clean and nutritious meals. Thank you John and team! I highly recommend this wellness retreat to everyone, I will be back.

Such an amazing, transformative experience! The food was fantastic, and all of the activities were truly transformative. I absolutely loved the breath work, yoga and meditation. I was nervous about the cold plunge, but did it! Everyone was so very supportive. Chef Perla, John, and Amanda are all wonderful, amazing people. I highly recommend and would not hesitate to book another retreat! Thank you so much!

What an absolute incredible experience! A weekend filled with learning new tools for wellness, including breath work, meditation, yoga, cold plunging, and a little therapy work to top it off. Made lifelong connections with some amazing women. And John, Amanda, and Perla were a fabulous team that truly put their heart and soul into it to make it such a special experience for all of us. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to get away and better themselves!

Beyond excellent. I feel like my body and mind have been rejuvenated. The food not only tasted wonderful but gave me so much energy. I can see myself doing this retreat again in 6 months.

I went to the San Diego retreat in October 2024. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it surpassed all my expectations. John & Amanda were wonderful and guided us through the retreat the food was delicious and the whole vibe was very warm and welcoming. And the breathwork, yoga - and even the cold plunge - are suitable for any skill level. Highly recommend for anyone thinking about attending a retreat!

Venue was gorgeous with beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the mountains. Nutrition program through chef Perla was incredible - thoughtful, tasty and a celebration of food and how it contributes to our wellness. Program (cold plunge, breathwork, meditation and yoga) was well timed for a good flow each day - I learnt a lot in a calm, safe space. Overall a very insightful experience, learning more about how to care for oneself in a mindful way. Bonus - connected with a lovely group of people that added to the experience - will stay in touch! Thank you John - your leadership to gather folks and provide a platform for meaningful connection and wellness focus (with the help of Amanda, chef Perla and Ohana (massage)) is much appreciated and had an impact on the whole group!
