Moments without Self Retreat
Make room for a quieter moment
Joshua Tree’s wide-open desert setting gives this three-day retreat a natural pause from the pace of everyday life. Moments without Self is framed around stillness, reflection, mindfulness, and presence, with space to reconnect and attend to what is happening within. The tradition and session format are not defined, so the experience may suit travelers who are curious about contemplative practice but want to ask the host what each day involves before committing. The property lists a yoga studio, spa, sauna, and pool, as well as free Wi-Fi and parking. Vegan dietary options are noted, though meal arrangements should be confirmed directly. Rooms have air conditioning, a useful comfort in the warmer months. The retreat runs by donation, making it a less conventional option for people who prefer to contribute rather than book at a stated set price. Ask the host about dates, lodging, and the practical details of the three-day stay.
