Zen Mountain retreats have been great opportunities for me to unplug from all the distractions of "every day" life. By unplugging, I allowed myself to put the focus on me. It can be very easy for me to focus on work, people, and other external items, rather than look inside and figure out what I need to do to grow as a person. Maria provides a great opportunity and an amazing environment to do just that, grow as a person. Being surrounded by people with a similar focus adds a special element to the retreats. Maria fosters meaningful connections with the other attendees and allows me to strengthen the connection with myself. I have been on multiple retreats and have gained something special from each of them. I am extremely grateful for the opportunities Maria as provided me on these retreats and thankful it has allowed me to grow.” — Joseph https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee65f7c848adc46b16b7c9c/1598667184077-3J422HCWL3JR1S5ALIYK/IMG_3007.jpg Testimonials - “The retreats Maria organizes are a bootcamp to speed up emotional and spiritual growth. I have learned so much from them, immersed in the beauty of Idyllwild, and always came back invigorated, ready to tackle life challenges.“ — Emilia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee65f7c848adc46b16b7c9c/1598580674182-MI1UZNG9DWMX4O4ZB5ZQ/IMG_4390.jpg Testimonials - “ The Reawakening the Chakras retreat was incredible. It's unlike anything I've experienced before. The amount of healing that I undertook in just one weekend was unfathomable. I walked away a different person, with a different mindset, and with a group of people who trusted each other through the journey. I highly recommend it." - Gregg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee65f7c848adc46b16b7c9c/1598571642233-NV2GOTM7BAPLCPX1H4DC/IMG_4362.JPG Testimonials https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee65f7c848adc46b16b7c9c/1598580641362-IB9475YA43KL1WB338KA/IMG_4874.jpg Testimonials - “ I had a life changing experience at the Reawakening the Chakras retreat. I was not familiar with Chakras and a bit nervous, but Maria made me feel loved and accepted right away. In a two day timespan, I walked away with lifetime friends who love and support me, a new perspective on life, and an unforgettable experience. ” — Kimmie https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee65f7c848adc46b16b7c9c/1598666898765-MF62N1PK90KW397SQNN2/3B73CE21-434F-4B5A-BE14-65B38D2BC76F.jpg Testimonials - “Zen Mountain Retreats was the reset that I needed in my life without knowing that I needed it. I was “busy” every day, running faster and faster on the hamster wheel while feeling worse and worse. I was depressed about the past and anxious about the future. Zen Mountain Retreats showed me that I can actually live in the present peacefully and fully enjoy life. I have been to three separate retreats with them and each was magical in its own way. It was a weekend disconnected from all of the noise of the daily routine where I got to know myself and others. To this day, a few of my best friends were people I met on the retreats. Not only was the weekend one of the best weekends of my life, but I received tools to make my life better every day moving forward. I did this for myself, but the biggest surprise to me was how much it has impacted everyone I know and interact with including my family, coworkers, friends, and my relationships. This was a highlight of my life and priceless and I would recommend this to everyone.” — Jeff https://www.zenmountainretreats.com/about daily 0.75 2025-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee65f7c848adc46b16b7c9c/204634d5-46fd-4c1f-ae5e-3942fb0175d5/reunion+photo.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee65f7c848adc46b16b7c9c/ac69f2e0-7b98-44c5-8337-2a021ca56c08/IMG_4639.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee65f7c848adc46b16b7c9c/60ae2a11-3064-49de-8dab-70b4d2aa25fe/IMG_5429+%282%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee65f7c848adc46b16b7c9c/3f972982-5107-48ad-890a-a6dfd56a61ef/group+pic+idyllwild.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee65f7c848adc46b16b7c9c/15200a6b-a549-4e4c-8599-4b7295f77857/IMG_7597.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee65f7c848adc46b16b7c9c/e647e90f-efd3-4670-8027-5da9f6b99dcf/yoga+idyllwild.jpg https://www.zenmountainretreats.com/location daily 0.75 2025-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee65f7c848adc46b16b7c9c/1598473992639-R6AJGRPHH01WYI7TO06C/IMG_1850.JPG Location Being among the pines rejuvenates and cleanses your mind, body, and spirit. From the moment you step onto the mountain, the transformative process begins. Energetically, you will feel lighter, freer, and more alive. Mentally, your mind will become clearer, more engaged, and fully aware. Spiritually, you will begin to open, attuning to the gentle whispers of your inner child, embracing the divine light within, and finding deep gratitude in all that is beautiful and sacred. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee65f7c848adc46b16b7c9c/1598293492075-60DDSABYGPX3P3Q2SJ2G/IMG_7446.JPG Location In addition, nearby access to exquisite nature trails offers the perfect opportunity to connect deeply with the earth. For the avid hiker, there are more challenging paths, while gentler trails invite serene strolls, ideal for photography or simply breathing in the crisp mountain air. The Zen Mountain Retreat is cozy, comfortable, and welcoming, providing a nurturing space for reflection and renewal. At night, the starry sky is breathtaking, and during the day, the stunning blue jays bring a sense of joy. Learning the art of "presence" becomes a gift as you immerse yourself in the awe and wonder of the mountainside. Presence also unfolds in those sacred moments when vulnerability is expressed and shared, creating deeper connections within and around you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee65f7c848adc46b16b7c9c/1598580889286-3UREBXXKIK7RTDOYOX12/IMG_6338.jpg Location - And don’t miss the chance to meet Idyllwild’s beloved furry mayor, Mayor Max!
