Resting in Your Future Self Retreat
with Tracee Stanley
Topanga, CA // March 7-9, 2025
Join teacher and author Tracee Stanley for a weekend of deep rest, yoga nidra, journaling, and connecting with your future self.
Our weekend together is dedicated to rewriting your future to align with your true purpose. Discover antidotes to obstacles in your life, connect to your inner knowing, and illuminate the north star that will guide you to your best self.
Yoga Nidra is the practice of cosmic sleep that allows you to fall asleep to your ego and awaken to the light of the soul. Yogic philosophy tells us that within each of us is a luminous place beyond all sorrow, free of doubt, and eternal. When we practice Yoga Nidra we not only get to rejuvenate the mind and body but also taste the effulgent power within. It is our birthright to know and cultivate a relationship with this part of ourselves and live from our rested, best self. Join us for a weekend of releasing doubt and fear and stepping fully into your power.

Our Playground
At the end of the end of the end of a road, perched atop a remote valley of the Santa Monica mountains, sits Topanga Commune: 10 acres of meandering paths, oak trees, palms and gardens abutting state land. You won’t believe you are less than an hour from the heart of LA.
The property has a main house, a guest house, four tea house private rooms, three sweet A-Frame cabins, and plenty of space for camping. Sleep on organic mattresses and linens and enjoy the bounty of LA’s best local farmers for every home-cooked meal.
The property also has a sauna, hot tub, plunge pool, basketball, badminton, and a plethora of hammocks.
Songwriter Neil Young lived on this property for many years and was deeply inspired by this magical spot. If there is anywhere in the world to find “a heart of gold,” it may be here.
“I want to live, I want to give. I've been a miner for a heart of gold. It's these expressions I never give that keep me searching for a heart of gold.” ~ Neil Young
