Our Mission and Philosophies
Other than education, the Center's mission to is to inspire, facilitate healing and help connect you to your higher self. Here we believe there are a variety of means to do that and one size does not fit all. That is why we designed these retreats the way we have. So YOU are in charge of your health and healing journey. With us, you choose your own adventure.
We have 3 primary programs we offer, all with additional services you may sign up for. However, at any time you may opt out of any acitivity if your mind, body or spirit needs to do so. But if you choose to dive in wholeheartedly (which we highly recommend), your retreat will include an adventure & sport component, a yoga component and a reiki or massage component. We connect you to your higher self by also connecting you to this earth and its elements, connecting you to your spirit, mindfulness and moving your Qi through all of it for optimal processing and integration.
FAQ
What transportation is included?
Transportation is included BETWEEN activities. This means we take you from your lodging to yoga, the surf lesson, to lunch and back to the Center for your individual services. One of the reasons we do this is because we do not want to be one of those retreats that sticks you in the same spot everyday. We will try our best between the three locations to find the best surf conditions for that day. And since you may not know the area, we are just going to take you there.
You don't have to worry about logistics. We have you covered! But we do not include transportation to and from Pacifica, aka your arrival and departure transportation. It is your responsibility to book your own flight, bus or cab to our fabulous little surf town we call home.
We can given you recommendations. However, whatever lodging you may choose must be within a 5 mile radius of of the Center and Linda Mar to have transportation included in your package.
Deposits, Refunds, Cancels and Weather
We don't control the weather, therefore (similarly to a ski resort), we unfortunately are not able to issues refunds for acts of nature.
Our standard payment option (via this website) is 50% down at sign up and then the other half upon arrival. The first half is non-refundable. However, we do offer financing and have listings on other retreat databases (such as bookyogaretreats.com) where you can put 1/3 down as your non-refundable deposit. Please contact us directly for financing options.
We have limited spots available and have put our heart and soul into planning these experiences for you and our time is valuable. We understand certain emergency situations will arise and we will deal with those on a case by case basis. If you are unable to attend due to a documented emergency, we will issue you a credit voucher for the next time you are able to visit, or you can transfer your reservation to someone else. Last minute cancels or no-shows without an approved emergency documentation will forfeit their deposit.
Can I opt-out of an activity?
We want to be as accommodating as best we can. Therefore, we can offer you SOME activity substitutions (to the best of our ability) if for some reason you are physically unable to participate in one of our included services. For example, if you have a condition where massage is contra-indicated (very rare), we can substitute that for any of our other ala carte services. However, that does need to be discussed and arranged in advance. As these retreats are planned in advance, last minute accommodations may not always be possible.
Do you include lodging?
Generally speaking we will not be offering lodging for most of our retreats here in Pacifica until the Fall 2022. However, we will be offering 3 premium upgrades ( to include lodging for our July 15-17 dates, and even for our mid-August dates via bookyogaretreats.com
We can given you recommendations. However, whatever lodging you may choose must be within a 3 mile radius of of the our address at the Center and Linda Mar (and between) to have transportation included in your package.
What are the surf lesson details?
Unlike other surf retreats where you get one 60-minute lesson (and for the rest you have to pay extra), our surf lessons are 90-minutes AND includes your wetsuit and board. Not to mention you get 2 lessons included with your package, plus an additional sport lesson of your choice included. We have partnered with Hokali Surf to make all of this possible.
