Spirit Camp
Redwood quiet, room to reconnect
Redwood paths, a glass temple and a sauna give Spirit Camp a distinctive rhythm: it is as much a place to gather and explore as to pause for practice. Set on Mendocino’s coast in Little River, this retreat venue pairs a forest trail loop with a yoga studio and cozy, considered interiors. Retreats and gatherings vary across the calendar, with themes that can include yoga, emotional well-being, creativity and family connection; the setting leaves room for shared work and unhurried time outdoors. Linen bedding, a kitchen, coffee and tea, and free parking make the practical side feel straightforward, while listed dietary options range from vegetarian and vegan to gluten-free and dairy-free. Spirit Camp suits groups who want nature close at hand without giving up comfortable amenities. Check the specific event for its schedule, meals and accommodation details, since these can differ by gathering.
