Creative Journey Retreats and Vegan Retreats at Stanford Inn by the Sea
On the Mendocino Coast, the Stanford Inn by the Sea is hosting two very special retreats this spring focused on improving guests’ physical and emotional well-being. Led by registered art therapist and author Joan Stanford, the Creative Journey Retreat features “playshops” which offer profound opportunities for self-expression and discovery using collage, art making, writing, and more. The retreat will be held May 8-11, 2025, and includes three nights lodging, three breakfasts, three dinners, five creative experiences, open studio time, and a complimentary copy of Joan’s book The Art of the Play. The cost is $1,910 for single occupancy stays or $1,310 per person ($2,620 per couple) for double occupancy stays (excluding gratuity).
For those who are vegan-curious (or already vegan), the resort’s Wellness Director, Sid Garza-Hillman, will lead two Vegan Retreats this spring for participants to learn the joy of plant-based living. The Vegan Retreats will be held March 6 – March 10, 2025, and May 15 – May 19, 2025. The retreats include four nights’ lodging, four dinners, four breakfasts, two vegan cooking classes, a nutrition class, and much more. The cost is $2,218.50 for single occupancy stays or $1,572.50 per person ($3,145 per couple) for double occupancy stays (excluding gratuity). To book either retreat, please call 707-937-5615.
