Let mountain views make room to breathe
Mt. Helix sets the tone at Casa De Oro: broad mountain views, green surroundings and fruit trees give this La Mesa retreat a distinctly outdoorsy character. Patrick Sperry’s sanctuary is framed less by a named meditation lineage than by its landscape, making the setting itself the clearest part of its appeal. The grounds suggest room to slow down and notice the natural rhythms around you, with the San Diego region close at hand. The specific practices, daily schedule and lodging arrangements depend on the retreat being offered, so check those details before making plans. This is a paid retreat; ask Patrick Sperry about current rates and what a booking includes. Come for a landscape-led setting of greenery, fruit trees and open views, rather than expecting a prescribed routine tied to a particular tradition.
