Vacation with Meaning is a vacation of a Lifetime
The house location of the retreat is walking distance from the Ocean Cliffs and Beaches, Mendocino Village (a darling coastal town with much to see and do.), and is a perfect summer vacation get away with temperatures of 73 daily high and 53 daily low. The Mendocino headlands is an untouched state reserve. Tyaga of SHE will be taking time to guide hikes into the cliff ocean coast in which is home to protected species of sea creatures in tide pools. The Headlands are known for the Ocean fog covering the sea. Soma Tattwa or “negative ions,” are more abundant on the coast and just breathing the air alone is a healing experience. Furthermore creating a vacation with mindful meditative intention is to have an experience that lives with you the rest of your life!

Permaculture Design and Yogic Wisdom
During the middle of the retreat, Tyaga leads a tour of Mendocino Ecological Learning Center or MELC, an “off-grid” Permaculture Research Institute created by Permaculture Legend, Max Meyers. Max has educated over 300,000 Permaculture Graduates and has lived off-grid in an Enchanted Mountain town called Willits for 30+ years. On site is an Aquaponics Greenhouse attached to his house, Solar Array, Well Water, Raincatchment ponds, Food Forests and more. Touring an established Permaculture site is the best way to immerse in and be inspired by Permaculture Design. The Holistic Mindfulness cultivated through Permaculture Design is in tandem with Yogic Wisdom. On the way to MELC we drive through a Coastal Redwood Forest Preserve!
