Join us for a spiritual, vegan, weekend retreat in the beautiful Tehachapi Mountains!
ACTIVITIES: Meditations – Peace Manifestations – Spiritual Healing – Nature Walks – Camping –
Enlightenment Presentations – Stargazing – Socializing
The retreat will occur in a large, private residence in the beautiful Tehachapi Mountains of California! The exact retreat location will be disclosed to attendees when they arrive at the meeting
location.
We'll meet just outside the main entrance of Love's Travel Stop at 2000 E Tehachapi Blvd, Tehachapi, CA 93561 on Saturday between 10:30 AM and 11:00 AM.
Please plan for the possibility of bad traffic and aim to arrive at the meeting location early. We'll leave the
meeting location soon after 11:00 AM.
The group will then drive in convoy to parking areas close to the retreat and shuttle people the remaining
distance.
There are long stretches of road in the desert areas around Tehachapi with no gas stations at all.
Therefore, please fill up with gas before you drive towards the retreat.
DIRECTIONS: Google Maps sometimes takes people on crazy routes along long, windy, mountain roads.
Therefore, if you’re traveling from LA, we recommend overriding Google Maps and following this basic route:
i) Take the 405 North from LA.
ii) Merge onto the 5 North.
iii) Take the 14 North through Lancaster.
iv) Stay on the 14 all of the way to Mojave.
v) Take the 58 West to Tehachapi.
ACCOMMODATION:
- Option 1: Bring a tent, camping mat, and sleeping bag and camp outside on the retreat grounds.
- Option 2: Bring a camping mat and sleeping bag and sleep on the floor in the retreat building's communal
areas. (You'll be sleeping on the floor in the same room as other people. There'll be a Ladies' Loft just for
women, a sleeping area just for men, and a mixed area for anyone who doesn't care!)
- Option 3: If your vehicle is large enough, sleep in your vehicle just outside the retreat.
- Option 4: Get a hotel, motel, or Airbnb in Tehachapi. The Best Western is probably a good option (at 420
W Tehachapi Blvd, Tehachapi, CA 93561).
MEALS:
All Vegan and Gluten free meals are included with your ticket price.
All meals are prepared by Annie {Vitality Cuisine}, Raw and Whole Foods Plant Based Chef.

RETREAT LOCATION RULES:
- No drugs, alcohol, smoking, or vaping.
- No fire or flames indoors or outdoors.
- No outdoors shoes are permitted inside. (You may bring slippers or indoor-shoes if you like.)
- No colored drinks are permitted on or over carpeted areas. Drinks sometimes spill, and colored drinks are
really bad for the carpets!
- No loud sounds or loud music are permitted outside.
- You may bring snacks or potluck items with you if you like, but please don't bring any smelly foods because
they could easily distract people during our meditations.
WHAT TO BRING:
Up in the mountains, the weather can be a bit unpredictable. When sunny, it can get very hot. In the
evenings, it can get very cold! Therefore, please bring clothes for both warm weather and cold weather! For
our nighttime stargazing activity, please bring some warm layers with you!
If possible, we recommend bringing a yoga mat, camping mat, cushions, or pillows to sit on or lie on when we
meditate.
A camping mat, a sleeping bag, and a pillow. A tent if you’re camping.
Snacks.
