Deep Rest & Renewal: A Women’s Mindfulness Retreat in Nature

Women identifying practitioners from any and all backgrounds and meditation experience levels are welcome. This retreat is a precious chance to relax into connection and awareness during guided periods of traditional sitting and walking meditation, nature-based mindfulness, and relational mindfulness practices. Led by Juliana Sloane, we’ll spend much of each day outdoors, immersed in the beauty of spring, walking lush trails, and resting in the presence of madrone and oak trees. This retreat is also dana (AKA donation) based so our fees are only set to cover the cost of vegetarian meals and lodging (indoor, glamping, camping and BYOTent).

Juliana received Buddhist Chaplaincy training from the Sati Center and founded a weekly meditation group for those who identify as women. She participated in Spirit Rock’s Community Dharma Leader Program and received teaching authorization from Erin Treat. She currently works as a hypnotherapist and teaches at San Francisco Insight, Spirit Rock, Santa Fe Vipassana, etc.

Off-Grid Retreats is a nonprofit headquartered in San Francisco with the mission of connecting people to nature through a contemplative lens. We support certified teachers to bring their offerings outside so more people can access guided mindfulness / meditation / movement / etc in nature. We offer scholarships and providing sliding scale tickets to our retreats. We also coordinate a nature practice fellowship, rentals and overnights for other nonprofits.
