What to Expect During Your Retreat

Arrival: April 10th, 2027 — the first group meal is dinner.

Departure: April 17th, 2027 — breakfast is the last group meal.

The Wise Effort program begins the morning after arrival, with optional early yoga and the first group meeting after breakfast.

What You’ll Learn

  • Realign your energy.

    You’ll learn the Wise Effort Method: a practical way to notice where your energy is going, what is driving you, and what keeps tripping you up. You’ll identify the patterns that pull you off track and learn how to redirect your effort toward what matters.

  • Reconnect with your body.

    You’ll come back into your body through movement, nourishing food, ocean walks, and deep rest. This is a place where you will completely unwind — along with a community of others who are also ready for a reset.


  • Return with direction.

    You’ll have space for contemplative walks, mid-day naps, and time to reflect on the things daily life doesn’t leave time for. You’ll clarify where your energy is most needed and leave with practices to keep your momentum going when you return home.

Reserve your space today.

Drawing on the science of compassion and psychological flexibility—and a daily yoga practice—you’ll get curious about what’s driving you, open up to what you’ve been avoiding, and focus your energy on what matters. All of it at Blue Spirit, a beachside retreat center on the tranquil end of a three-mile stretch of Pacific coast.

Space is limited by design.
