Winter Treasure Hunt Retreat: Yoga, Nature, Creativity
January 24-28, 2027
with Melina Meza at Sanctuary Resort | Monterey
Start the new year with a few days of quiet, creativity, and connection by the sea.
Join me for a winter retreat at The Sanctuary Beach Resort, a beautiful seaside hideaway nestled among the Marina Dunes along Monterey Bay. With private beach access, ocean views, luxurious accommodations, a heated pool and hot tub, beach bonfires, and an on-site spa, this is a place designed for slowing down and reconnecting with what matters.
Our days will have a gentle rhythm: yoga, creativity, nature, good food, and a little adventure.
There will be plenty of spaciousness and opportunities to explore some of my favorite Central Coast art galleries and eateries.
