Join us in Joshua Tree, CA

The Slow Retreat

In the desert

brought to you by The Sedona House

Join us for an intimate retreat in the desert of Joshua Tree, CA where the days move slower and the sunrises seem to last longer.

An opportunity to remember how fufilling simplicity is.

Allow your body to recalibrate with the tempo of nature.

An intentional pause

A quieting down of our external worlds

Space

To sleep, laugh, breathe deeply

The Experience

Our intention is to give you the space and the guidance to connect with yourself.

  • Daily meditation, movement and inquiry practices

  • Connection with like-hearted folks

  • Tech break

  • Space

  • Nature

  • Rest

Why Retreat?

We choose to step away from our daily lives, not to escape from them, but to to pause & gather the resources that we need.

To replenish our mind, body and spirit.

A retreat is a reminder

of what is most ESSENTIAL to us.

Our Why

To bring folks together to collectively remember how precious and worth-paying-attention-to our lives are.

The Logistics

A simple retreat.

Pack a bag of comfortable clothes, sort out your travel and we will handle the rest.

  • We will be co-living in an Airbnb.

    The exact location & housing details will be released 30 days prior to the retreat.

  • Attendees will be staying together under one roof in a local Airbnb.
