Mindfulness Retreat with Meditation & Reflective Writing in Mendocino’s Redwoods
From September 26–28 (Friday through Sunday), Spirit Camp in Mendocino invites women ages 20+ into a circle of reflection, rest, and renewal. Over two nights, this Mindfulness Retreat offers yoga, guided meditation, reflective writing, and gentle group process—all optional, all invitational. The goal is not performance but presence, not output but authenticity.
Reserve your place via the Sacred Feminine page, and browse additional programs on the Spirit Camp Retreats calendar.
This retreat was born out of a desire to give women permission to pause, to sit quietly under redwoods, and to discover what emerges when silence meets the page. If you are longing for a space where your “yes” and your “no” are both honored, this weekend is for you.
