This 4-day pilgrimage is structured to follow the rhythm of the Earth and the New Moon cycle. Each day is a blend of deep nature immersion, restorative movement, and sacred ceremony. We begin with a grounding arrival and forest greeting, followed by days dedicated to guided redwood tours, sound healing, and plant medicine ceremonies (Cacao and Blue Lotus).

While the flow is curated to support nervous system regulation, there is ample space for silence, reflection, and optional 1:1 energy healing or bodywork sessions.

Testimonials

info

"It was truly amazing. Sam went out of her way at every turn to ensure my utmost comfort and satisfaction. She and the girls worked incredibly hard to provide me with an experience that was life-changing. From the beautiful homes to the delicious and nutritious meals prepared by Sam, there was no detail overlooked to ensure my experience was beyond my expectations. Absolute perfection."

Jennifer L, United States

Sam runs a great retreat! She is professional, organized, and friendly. Best of all, she is a fantastic cook and cooks most of the meals, procuring fresh food from local farms. Daily yoga, meditation, hiking, swimming, and exploring nature renew the body and spirit. Most rewarding is cultivating community and making memories with inspiring people.

Hathy, United States

Sam is an amazing culinary chef and facilitator of conscious expanding Retreats. I was a guest at her Women's California Redwoods Retreat this year. The location and daily offerings provided an experience of deepening into self while simultaneously expanding. I felt deeply nurtured in all aspects of my being."
