"WEEKEND WANDERLUST" RETREAT IN Joshua Tree, CA
OCT 4- OCT 6, 2024
Unleash your inner WANDERLUST WARRIOR through ✨CONNECTION✨ and✨DISCOVERY✨ in Joshua Tree, CA!
✨CONNECTION✨
- Connect to Nature 🌵 as you discover the beauty and mystical power of Joshua Tree through group and individual exploration
- Connect to Community... ⛺ The Charming Yurt Village of 28 Palms Ranch offers a unique opportunity to come together as a collective to not only experience community with new friends, but bond deeper to those you bring on retreat with you.
- Connect deeper to your Authentic Self: 🧘♀️ Those that retreat know this is the true "hidden secret" that comes from investing in yourself in this way... To those of you yet to discover that secret, prepare to discover... The deeper sense of self and contentment you feel after a weekend dedicated solely to yourself.
✨DISCOVERY✨
- Exploration: 💫 You will explore the night sky as you star-gaze, the land as you hike through the desert wonderland, and the town as you meander through local art galleries and local-owned boutiques.
- Adventure: ⛺ As you settle in to your cozy Mongolian Yurt, you can take some time away from screens and enjoy an "off-the-grid" experience (there are still a few luxuries of home, including solar-powered USB charging ports, indoor lighting and A/C. There is no Wi-Fi but most Cellular works.)
- Spirituality: 🙏 The Joshua Tree holds a profound spiritual symbolism... They are symbols of resilience and strength, and perseverance in the face of adversity, as they grow and thrive despite the harsh environmental conditions. As you walk amonst these trees, you will be granted the opportunity to harness that spiritual energy, inspiring introspection and self-discovery.
WHAT'S INCLUDED!?
When on retreat, you are always in choice!
A space will be created that is free from judgment and/ or any expectations. All guests are urged to do what feels best whether that means taking an evening to yourself to enjoy the solitude of your peaceful surroundings, or bringing your guitar and sharing your musical talents with the group; the weekend is all about indulging in YOUR authenticity!
Accommodations
The 28 Palms Retreat Ranch is arranged as a community of Mongolian Yurts that can accommodate up to 3 people each. Your Yurt will either be yours alone, or yours to book with your travel mate(s).
