Willow Pond is located in Arroyo Grande, bordering San Luis Obispo, on California's Central Coast. It's about a 10-minute drive from the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport (SBP), or roughly 3.5 hours by car from Los Angeles or the Bay Area. 

Your non-refundable 25% deposit will be due at the time of booking for this retreat.  

Your total retreat price is based on which type of accommodations you choose.  

We offer retreat guests a payment plan of four monthly payments. All payments are non-refundable.

For shared rooms:
If you are sharing a room, please let us know your roommate's name. If you would like us to pair you with another retreat participant, indicate that on your booking registration.

We cannot guarantee that we will be able to find you a roommate, and you will be responsible for the single accommodations price if we cannot, but we do our absolute best to accommodate all requests and it's usually not a problem for us to find you a roommate.

The per person retreat price includes 7-nights of lodging at either Willow Pond or Arroyo Grande Canyon Villa, 7 breakfasts, 5 lunches and 6 dinners. It includes all painting workshops, three mornings of yoga and our wine tasting/live music evening excursion.

Availability is limited and our retreats have sold out very quickly in the past, so don't delay.

Reserve your spot, today.
