Redwood Yoga Retreat for Deep-Rest Yoga Nidra in Spirit Camp’s Magic Meadow
Feel Whole Again—Lie Down, Let Go, Look at Stars
Between Thursday and Sunday, Nov 13-16 2025, Whole Hearted You invites you to horizontal healing: two Yoga Nidra immersions daily plus forest-bathing strolls and campfire lullabies. Reserve your cocoon on the retreat page and survey other deep-rest options on the calendar. Whether you commute from Contra Costa County or further afield, this Northern California deep rest weekend promises profound reset.
Yoga Nidra: From Swami Satyananda to iRest & PTSD Clinics
In 1976 Swami Satyananda formalized the “yogi’s sleep,” guiding practitioners through eight stages from body scan to symbolic imagery. Clinical psychologist Richard Miller later adapted the protocol into iRest®, now used in VA hospitals to ease insomnia and trauma. EEG studies reveal Nidra elicits theta–delta waves akin to stage-2 sleep, boosting memory consolidation and serotonin release. (Review research via the Cleveland Clinic’s meditation blog.)
At Spirit Camp, Rebecca layers soft guitar drones beneath Nidra scripts; Magic Meadow crickets chirp counter-rhythm, weaving nature’s lullaby into neural repair.

Meet Rebecca—Dream-Weaver & Star Whisperer
Rebecca’s bedtime-story tone draws from years of hostel lullaby circles during global peace-building travels. Her Nidra phrasing—“float like fog through redwood leaves”—anchors imagery in place-based magic.
Magic Meadow & Celestial Ceremonies—Life at Spirit Camp
Starlit Fire Pits
Post-Nidra, walk a lantern line to Magic Meadow. Fire sparks coil upward while Milky Way spills overhead; some nights silent, others alive with song.
Cozy Lodging Options
Choose private cabin, bunkhouse camaraderie, or BYO tent (seasonal). All share proximity to Meadow hum—one reason guests call it magic meadow meditation paradise.
Easy Access for Contra Costa Travelers
Skip airport security—drive three scenic hours up US-101, peel onto Hwy 128, and roll under redwood arches. That convenience explains the rise in yoga retreats near Contra Costa County queries each fall.
