Retreat Announcement 2027
JOSHUA TREE - Wild wonder
Mantra , Meditation & Magic
Find your center where the desert meets the sky during a weekend of intentional rest and rebirth. Experience the magic of a spring awakening at Gaia Villa—your space to breathe, bloom, and begin again.
Rosie Sharkey and I invite you to join us in Joshua Tree during Spring 2027 - a space to connect, reset, ground and bloom.
Dates : April 14 - 18 2027
Join us for a transformative spring awakening at Gaia Villa, a stunning sanctuary nestled right against the border of Joshua Tree National Park.
From April 14-18 , we will gather in this high desert oasis for a journey of deep renewal, featuring twice-daily yoga sessions, guided optional hikes through the ancient landscape, a special soundbath and intentional downtime to soak in the desert sun.
Your stay includes nourishing catered meals, and while most of our boutique rooms offer shared bathrooms to foster a sense of community, the villa provides ample space for private reflection.
Each day is woven together with the sacred vibrations of mantra , movement and meditation, offering you the tools to ground into the stone and bloom with the season
YOUR Room AT GAIA VILLA
You can choose from spacious shared rooms featuring twin beds or custom bunk configurations, or opt for a single-occupancy setup in one of the versatile rooms that can be converted into a private king suite.
Gaia Villa features three well-appointed bathrooms, including a primary ensuite with a soaking tub and a convenient downstairs half-bath, all stocked with premium toiletries and hair dryers for a seamless stay.
All rooms share bathroom facilities with just 3–4 other participants — a setup that, in our experience, tends to spark some of the best conversations and deepest connections of the entire retreat.
We know the idea of sharing a space can sound more daunting than it turns out to be, but in the natural flow of retreat life — between pool time, outdoor showers, and morning rituals — it feels easy, intimate, and very much part of the collective magic.
One of the most beautiful things about a retreat is watching a group of strangers become a close-knit community, and these small, shared moments are often where that transformation begins
meet the teachers
Rosie and Nicole met while teaching yoga in Sonoma County and quickly discovered their shared passion for movement, mindfulness, and community.
With a down-to-earth approach to both yoga and life, they believe in keeping the practice accessible, grounding, and joyful.
Their similar sense of humor and love for adventure have not only shaped their friendship but also inspired them to create experiences that blend deep practice with playfulness and exploration.
It was only natural that they decided to lead their very first retreat together in 2025. This retreat will be the 4th container they create together - with many more to come.

Deposit & Policies:
A $550 deposit is required to secure your spot. This deposit is fully refundable if the retreat is not confirmed by the end of May; however, once the retreat is confirmed, all payments are non-refundable.
Please note that all bathrooms at the retreat center are shared, regardless of room type. Whether you are in a single or shared room, bathroom facilities are communal spaces. We trust this will be held in the spirit of community that makes a retreat so special — a little vulnerability, a little grace, and a lot of good company.
