Dessert Hot Springs Retreat

Food by Flannery Klette-Kolton
ABOUT THE RETREAT
Join Christopher Golden and chef Flannery Klette-Kolton for three nights of dessert relaxation. Along with the daily yoga, meditation and nourishing meals there will be ample time to soak in the natural hot springs or hike in Joshua Tree. We will be staying at Miracle Manor Boutique Hotel & Spa. It is is nestled amidst the serene landscape of Desert Hot Springs, a renowned destination for its naturally occurring mineral hot springs. These geothermal waters have been revered for centuries for their therapeutic properties and ability to promote relaxation, healing, and rejuvenation. Leading up to the retreat we can arrange spa treatments.

Practice
We will practice outside under the covered pavilion (if weather necessitates we will go inside). You can leave all your props at home as Miracle Manor provides mats and everything we need. That said, if you have a strong preference for the type of yoga mat you practice on you are encouraged and welcome to bring your own.
Getting Around
You will most likely want a car so that you can take full advantage of all that the dessert has to offer. Once the group is confirmed I will connect those who are interested in sharing a car. Please confirm with me if you plan on renting a car or driving your own.
