Gibbous Retreats
Make room to return to yourself
The San Bernardino Mountains give this women-focused retreat room to slow down without turning the experience into a rigid program. At Gibbous Retreats, guided sessions sit alongside yoga, creative practices, music, nourishing meals, and stretches of unstructured time outdoors. The emphasis is on restoration and reflection, with space for each guest to choose what helps her reconnect rather than follow a single prescribed route. Rustic character and modern comforts share the setting: rooms have air conditioning, while a yoga studio, Wi-Fi, towels, and free parking make the stay more straightforward. A private chef prepares meals, with vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free options noted. Led by Jaclyn and Brittany, retreats are designed for women wanting a pause from everyday demands and a little room to listen inward. Prices start at $1,650; check retreat dates and details with the host.
