4 Day Five Senses Detox & Rejuvenation Retreat in California Hot Springs

The Five Senses Detox & Rejuvenation Retreat is a 4-day weekend retreat at Still Mountain Wellness Retreat in California Hot Springs, designed to help guests recover from sensory overload, digital fatigue, mental clutter, digestive heaviness, and stress through Ayurveda-inspired daily rhythm, gentle yoga, breathwork, Shinrin-yoku forest bathing, clean vegetarian meals, and a practical integration guide.

Return to Inner Stillness

Modern life asks the senses to carry too much: screens, noise, hurry, processed food, poor sleep, and the constant pressure to stay available. This retreat creates a quieter rhythm. Over 4 days, you will step away from digital overload and return to the simple medicine of breath, movement, clean food, nature, and rest.

SHINRIN-YOKU FOREST BATHING

Let the forest quiet what the world has overstimulated

Nature and Shinrin-yoku Food is not separate from the retreat. It is part of the healing container. The meals are vegetarian, clean, and easy to digest, prepared to support the body rather than burden it. This gives the digestive system a pause and helps the rest of the practices go deeper.

Guests will also learn simple daily detox habits that can be brought home without making life complicated. The emphasis is on what can actually be lived: cleaner food choices, steadier timing, better rest, and more conscious boundaries with

For those who feel full, tired, scattered, or overstimulated. This retreat is for people who know they need to pause but may not know how. It is especially suited for those experiencing screen fatigue, mental clutter, digestive heaviness, poor sleep, stress, burnout, or a feeling of being disconnected from the body. No prior yoga, Ayurveda, or breathwork experience is required. The practices are guided, gentle, and adaptable. Come as you are, with no need to perform.

Set at Still Mountain Wellness Retreat in California Hot Springs, near the quiet beauty of the Sequoia forest, this weekend is designed as a reset for the body, mind, senses, digestion, and daily rhythm. The work is gentle, but it is not passive. We slow down enough to notice what the body has been carrying, and we begin to choose a different way of living.

The retreat is held near the Sequoia forest, where nature becomes part of the practice. Through guided Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, you are invited to slow down and meet the forest through the senses: the light between the trees, the sound of wind and birds, the scent of earth and bark, the feeling of each step, and the breath moving through the body.

This is not a hike to complete. It is a way of remembering a slower rhythm. The forest offers a kind of instruction that does not need many words: be here, soften, listen, and let the nervous system receive the quiet.

Not a harsh cleanse. A return to balance

This retreat is not built around deprivation or intensity. It is a guided reset rooted in Ayurveda, Yogic sciences, clean nourishment, sensory awareness, and the quiet intelligence of nature. Instead of forcing the body, we support it. Instead of overwhelming the mind with more information, we give it space to settle.

The five senses become the doorway. Through sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch, you begin to soften the habits that keep the nervous system strained. The goal is simple: to leave feeling lighter, clearer, more rested, and better prepared to protect your energy at home.

Healing begins with what we notice

The senses are often the first place we become exhausted. They are also one of the first places we can return to balance. During the retreat, each sense is gently invited back into a more natural relationship with the body and the world around it.
