Carlsbad Reset Weekend
A three-day coastal pause for anyone in a season of change.
The experience
A small, slow weekend on the Southern California coast, built for the person who can't afford a full week away but desperately needs to come back to themselves. Ocean walks at sunrise, somatic practice, integration circles, and food that loves you back.

- —
You want depth without the spiritual performance.
- —
You'd rather be by the ocean than in a yoga shala.

A weekend meditation retreat near San Diego
Three days on the North County coast in Carlsbad, about 35 minutes from downtown San Diego and under an hour from the airport. Sunrise beach walks, guided meditation, slow somatic and breath practice, sound, and integration circles for twelve people who need to come back to themselves without taking a week off work.
If you have been looking for a weekend meditation retreat in California, a yoga retreat near San Diego, or a wellness retreat in North County that is not a resort spa package, this is the short-format version: real practice, real rest, home by Sunday afternoon.
Who comes to a coastal reset weekend
People in a season of transition, a move, a breakup, a new role, a hard year, who want depth without spiritual performance. Beginners welcome, all genders and backgrounds welcome, and no experience with meditation, breathwork, or yoga is required.
You leave with a guided plan for your first 30 days home, because the point is not the weekend. The point is what holds afterward.
