Redwood National Park Retreats
We breathe deeper. We feel our shoulders drop. We remember how it feels to belong — to a place, to people, to ourselves. We give back to the places that hold us, and we carry home simple practices to keep us connected.
This summer we gathered twice in Redwood National & State Parks, held by “parknerships” with Redwood Parks Conservancy and Park staff. We opened at HQ, settled into camp, and walked at the pace of presence.
In June, our service day took us to Crescent Beach, where we sanded and sealed the overlook deck so visitors can stay in wonder longer. We shared meals, learned the rhythm of this coast, let our voices rise at the bluff, and met the cold clarity of Mill Creek. We wandered among old ones in the Grove of Titans, stepping through a tunnel of roots like a threshold.
In August, we returned to tend the Yurok Loop on the Coastal Trail with the trail crew — brushing back growth, clearing sight-lines, making space for visitors and locals to enjoy the space. Same heartbeat: slow hiking, creek time, campfire circles, gratitude for the people who keep this place welcoming.
We’re already dreaming into 2026: more time with water, more hands-on stewardship, more ways to weave reflection and reconnection so the learning lands in the body. If you’d like to join us in the redwoods, add your name to the waitlist and we’ll meet you under the canopy when dates are live.
What happens when we let the redwoods set the pace?
📍Yurok and Tolowa ancestral territories include landscapes and resources now contained within Redwood National and State Parks. Tribal Councils and Park management work together on myriad of government to government programs like habitat restoration, the returning of California condors, protection of archeological sites, the use of prescribed fire, and the beneficial sharing of staff and agency resources. Curious about the history of the land where you work, live, and play? Native Land is a great starting point for additional research.

Redwood Parks Conservancy
RPC’s mission is to foster understanding, enjoyment, and stewardship by providing support to their partner agencies – the National Park Service, California State Parks, Bureau of Land Management, and the U.S. Forest Service – who are entrusted with the care of northern California’s public lands.
Event Pillars
Environmental Stewardship
We include environmental stewardship projects in our wilderness wellness retreats to foster a deeper connection to nature, empower participants to give back to the landscapes that inspire their healing, and cultivate a sense of purpose and responsibility for preserving these spaces for future generations.
Mindful Movement
We center mindful movement in our wilderness wellness retreats to help participants reconnect with their bodies, enhance their presence in the moment, and deepen their experience of nature as a source of healing and restoration. We move at the speed of our breath and no hiker is left behind!
Self-Discovery
Each retreat has a theme to help you connect the dots between the wilderness within and the wild areas we are exploring and conserving. In the redwoods we explore Reciprocal Resilience. We draw inspiration from our surroundings in Redwood National Park and take the wisdom of the wilderness home with us.
