Off-Grid Retreats is delighted to team up with Retreat Teacher Rochelle Calvert to offer Healing with Nature, a nature-centered mindfulness weekend retreat.

Practice and connect in the beautiful landscape of the southern Sierra Nevada Mountains at River Ridge Ranch. This ranch is amidst the Tule River and a vital ecosystem of a 722 acre nature preserve of oak woodlands.

Through this retreat, explore how nature-based practices, relational connection to the natural world, and somatic healing can support the transformation of challenging or traumatic experiences.

Off-Grid Retreats and Retreat Teacher Kirsten Rudestam are teaming up again to offer Deepening Presence in Nature, a nature-centered mindfulness weekend retreat.

This retreat will take place at Shelterwood Collective, a Black, Indigenous, and LGBTQ-led community forest and retreat center, healing people and ecosystems through active stewardship and community engagement. In the summer of 2021, Shelterwood became the official stewards of a 900-acre forest and former church camp right above the Russian River in Sonoma County, California, on Unceded Kashaya and Southern Pomo territory. There are miles of hiking trails and a couple of streams that run through.

In this three-day meditation retreat we draw from Buddhist teachings, becoming more intimate with nature in our own minds while deepening our relations with nature in the more-than-human world. In so doing, we experience the mutuality of these ways in deepening our relationship with all of life.

Off-Grid Retreats welcomes certified teachers of mindfulness, movement, contemplative and therapeutic practices to our first annual Teacher Gathering! We’re specifically seeking teachers with experience, skills and/or interest in leading retreats and workshops in nature.

This gathering includes an evening and day of hiking, wandering, talks and activities at Shelterwood Collective, a Black, Indigenous, and LGBTQ-led community forest and retreat center.

Various lodging accommodations and locally sourced vegetarian meals will also be provided (all FREE of charge!) to showcase our glamping tents and other offerings.

There is a limited capacity, so to inquire and/or reserve a tent please contact us (info@offgridretreats.org) for availability. And feel free to click the image to learn more.

This retreat is an opportunity to slow down and settle into a rhythm and quality of presence that supports us in remembering what is most important, what nourishes us and allows us to more freely bring ourselves to this life.

Kirsten Rudestam is the guiding teacher of this retreat. People from any and all backgrounds are welcome. No meditation experience is required.
