The Soothing Path: 3-Day Retreat at Green Gulch Farm


  • Green Gulch Zen Center 1601 Shoreline Hwy Muir Beach, CA USA (map)

Join me for a serene 3-day retreat at Green Gulch Farm, a Zen center with a vast garden, Japanese-style accommodations and a fully equipped yoga studio nestled between the trees and ocean. This retreat is designed to help you break away from everyday life and drop into a quiet place, connecting with your body, breath, and inner landscape.

What to expect:

  • Daily Yoga Sessions: Experience Margi’s signature style of yoga, with a focus on breath, alignment, mindfulness, and JOY! All necessary yoga props will be provided. The practices will be designed for those who have been practicing yoga for at least one year. Exceptions can be made with Margi's permission.

  • A sound bath on Wednesday night with Jodi McLean

  • Guided Meditation & Pranayama: Delve into deep stillness and clarity through guided attention and breath practices. There will also be the opportunity to sit with the Zen community at Green Gulch.

  • Nature: Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Green Gulch Farm, with opportunities for hikes and peaceful walks through the Zen center’s extensive gardens and farm. Gorgeous Muir Beach is an easy 20-minute walk from the property, a perfect spot for a cold plunge in the Pacific. Additionally, there is an infared sauna on the property for further relaxation and rejuvenation.

  • Six vegetarian meals made by the Green Gulch chefs, with ingredients sourced mainly from the farm. First meal is Wednesday dinner and the last will be Friday lunch.
