Napa Valley California Yoga and Wellness Retreat

  • This Grain Fall Harvest Retreat is not a bootcamp or spiritual deep-dive.

    It’s a restorative weekend in Northern California designed to help you feel present again.

    You’ll step into nature. Move your body slowly. Share nourishing meals. Laugh. Reflect. Rest.

    It’s a space to honor how far you’ve come, reconnect with what matters, and remember how the smallest act like a single breath, a quiet walk, or a spark of gratitude can shift everything.

    Just like a single grain of sand becomes a beach, or a single seed becomes a harvest, the smallest moments can create a whole new season.

    This women’s fall yoga retreat in Napa will help you feel rested and

    • more connected to your body

    • more rooted in your joy

    • and, more open to what’s next without rushing to get there.

    This isn’t about fixing yourself.
    It’s about celebrating yourself. It’s a yoga and wellness retreat in NorCal designed for women who are ready to:

    • Let go of burnout and rediscover joy

    • Reflect and reset through gentle yoga, forest bathing, sound baths, and seasonal rituals

    • Connect with like-minded women in a meaningful, intimate setting in Napa Valley

Hosted at Enchanted Hills Retreat

Our retreat sanctuary spans 311 acres of private forest trails, sunlit clearings, and quiet corners to reconnect with nature and with yourself.

But this space is more than beautiful. It’s meaningfully operated by a nonprofit that supports the blind and visually impaired. Joining the Grain Harvest Fall retreat directly uplifts the Lighthouse’s mission of accessibility, empowerment, and inclusion. Every moment here supports something greater.

And throughout the weekend, you’ll be lovingly nourished by a team of talented visually impaired chefs, including a head chef who also teaches culinary arts at a local college.

Each meal is rooted in the rhythm of the land and prepared with seasonal ingredients to support your body, your energy, and journey inward.

A delicious reminder that growth doesn’t need to be loud and real. Like nature, you’re allowed to be exactly where you are.

I created the GRAIN Retreat because I know what it’s like to be doing all the “right” things but still feel like it’s not enough. Like there’s always one more thing you need to fix or figure out before you can finally feel at peace and truly content with who you are and where you are.

GRAIN is a pause from that pressure. A place to come back to yourself through nature, presence, and deep gratitude. So you can return to your life with confidence, enoughness, and joy coursing through your veins.

IS THIS RETREAT fOR ME?

You don’t need to be super “into yoga.”
You don’t need to be in crisis.
You don’t need to know anyone else.
You only need to be open to slowness, to presence, and to intentional connection.

    • want to experience a weekend designed to be slow, beautiful, and deeply nourishing

    • you’re doing all the right things, but it still doesn’t feel like enough

    • want to feel joy, gratitude, and peace in your body not just in your head

    • want a weekend that honors all the versions you’ve been and the one you’re becoming

    • feel stretched thin or stuck in “in-between” spaces

    • want to connect & share space with other women who value intentional living, more presence than performance, and more meaning than noise

    • party all weekend with alcohol as the centerpiece

    • dive into intensive inner healing or heavy emotional processing

    • skip group practices or reflection altogether

This isn’t a retreat where you’re expected to follow a rigid schedule or “perform wellness.” Everything is lovingly curated to support your reset and you’re always invited to take it at your own pace. Participation is encouraged (because that’s where transformation happens), but never forced.

Throughout the weekend, you’ll be held by nature, community, and thoughtful practices that invite you to soften, reconnect, and come home to yourself.

You’ll experience:

  • Daily yoga and guided mindfulness to ground your energy and reconnect with your body

  • Sound bath meditation

  • Reflective coaching prompts and journaling to help you slow down and listen for what’s ready to shift

  • A cozy bonfire gathering and s’mores

  • Mindful wine tasting featuring curated non-alcoholic and alcoholic wines that invite presence and pleasure without the pressure

  • Unhurried conversations and genuine connection with like-hearted women (the kind that remind you you're not alone)

  • Open time for you to rest, nap, read, journal, or simply be

  • Access to a peaceful lake for kayaking or paddle boarding

  • Optional dips in the swimming pool for play, movement, or ease

  • Private trails and redwood groves to wander through at your own pace

  • Quiet pockets of nature perfect for solo reflection, stillness, or stargazing

This is your invitation to move slowly, reconnect with what matters, and return home rested and transformed.

What You’ll Gain (Beyond the Itinerary)

This retreat isn’t about changing who you are. You may arrive feeling stretched thin, in-between seasons, or unsure what’s next.
But you’ll return home feeling present, replenished, and rooted in your enough-ness.

It’s about returning to the version of you that’s been waiting beneath the noise.

You’ll gain:

✨ A deep sense of enoughness and gratitude for your path, your growth, your body
✨ A clearer connection to what matters and where you want to go next
✨ Practices and perspectives you can return to long after the weekend ends
✨ A softness in your nervous system, and a quiet strength in your spirit
✨ New friendships that feel like coming home
✨ joy coursing through your veins

This is more than a yoga retreat in Northern California. It’s a turning point in how you relate to your life. This is the kind of transformation that lingers. It’s about returning home to yourself with peace, contentment, and a sense of enoughness that runs deep.
