DESIGNED FOR RETREAT LEADERS, BY A RETREAT LEADER.

As a retreat leader, I often walked into beautiful Airbnbs that felt... stale and... disorenting. Staged to the point of lifeless. I’d end up hauling in fuzzy rugs, candles, and a ridiculous amount of supplies just to create the energy I needed.


After years of hosting retreats at many airbnbs and VRBOs, I promised myself I’d one day create something different— a home with the soul of a mini retreat center. 

A space where leaders can focus on what matters: facilitating transformation — not shifting the energy or packing your whole altar to get there. 

I knew that if I longed for a place that felt sacred the moment I walked in, others longed too. I never found that place—so I created it. And now, it’s ready for you! 

If you’ve found this page, you’ve discovered something rare. A hidden portal on California’s Central Coast—ready to become one of your favorite places on Earth.

My Enchanted Acre—the Land, its 44 trees and many Creatures—and I (a 6th-generation Curandera) are ready to receive you and your beloved guests.

The Land

A sacred acre held by 44 trees, panoramic views, and natural gathering spaces shaped by the Earth herself. Every corner invites awe—sunrises over the mountains, golden light through the valley, and starlit skies that feel close enough to touch.

From a flowering tree canopy to a courtyard built for movement and ritual, and a still-living fallen tree known as The Cave, the land offers built-in spaces for connection, ceremony, and quiet transformation.

This land doesn’t just support your retreat—it co-facilitates it.

Retreat Facilitator Gifts!!!

Yes — I have special gifts just for you, the retreat facilitator. The following are all included with your retreat booking:

  • Welcome Nourishment + Sacred Arrival
    You’ll be greeted with nourishing food, gentle music, a welcome altar… and if you wish, a hot bath drawn for you in the soaking tub.

  • Complimentary Hot Springs Soak
    Enjoy a rejuvenating visit to the local hot springs — on me. Use it anytime during your stay to refill your own well while you hold others.

  • Land Acknowledgement & Gratitude Ritual
    Offered by me, a 6th-generation Curandera. This can be a private ritual just for you, or something you share with your guests to honor the land.

  • Personal Charcuterie Tray to Go
    No need to rush out the door hungry. I’ll send you off with a delicious, nourishing tray and late check-out vibes — so you can ease into re-entry.

Local Referrals & Optional Support
Want extra help during your retreat? I can refer you to trusted chefs, bodyworkers, photographers, and support staff — or step in myself...

Want to arrive and already feel held?

As your House Enchantress, I can also provide (by request). These add-ons are available for an additional exchange and customized to your retreat needs.:
– Meal prep, cooking, wellness smoothie bar or juicing bar
– Ritual space setup (inside or outside)
– Sunset Embodiment Ritual or Befriend The Land Walk (these are perfect for when you head to the hot spring to rejuvenate!)
– Energetic tending & prepping throughout your stay

Proximity and Accessibility

  • Downtown Charm: Just 4 minutes from your retreat house, downtown invites exploration with its boutique shops, art galleries, grand brick architecture, and town square with over 80 HUGE trees!​

  • Location!
    About 3 hours drive from LA, SF, and Silicon Valley. 

  • Convenient Travel: San Luis Obispo Airport is a 40-minute drive, ensuring easy access for you and your guests. 

I'm Crystal, your house Enchantress

I’ll be here to greet you, feed you something nourishing the moment you arrive, and—if you wish—draw you a bath before your guests even unpack.
(This is my thank-you gift to you for choosing this land.)

From there, it’s entirely up to you.
You can lead solo—or invite me in.

During your stay you will also get a complimentary soak in the local hot springs - a quick 7 minute drive! I know the exertion it takes to provide transformation for your guests and I want to make sure your body is tended to while you facilitate that! My desire is that practitioners like you are well resourced so you don't burn out and can continue to serve. 

I can easily be folded into the background so you can focus all your energy and attention on your people. I can cook, tidy, set up ritual spaces…
or offer a mini workshop (so you can take a break!), like a Tour of the Land where I point out sacred spots and teach how to befriend the Land or Embodied Affirmations at Sunset so you can rest after dinner.
(See the section on "add-on services" for details.)  

And the last day, before you go, I’ll send you off with a personal charcuterie-to-go and a simple Land Gratitude Ritual to thank Mama Earth as she holds you on your journey forward.
(charcuterie and ritual are also already included with your stay—my way of closing the circle with care and ritual.)

And whether you call on me directly or not—
know that I’ll be in the background, weaving unseen rituals, tending the energy of the home, tending to anything that comes up so you don't have to, and holding your retreat with love. Nobody wants to be dealing with a broken anything while hosting retreat - I'm already here to handle that for you!

As a 6th-generation Curandera, this isn’t a job.
It’s a way of life.

And PS. Every penny you pay to host your retreat here goes directly back into the Home and especially The Land.

The house helped me have retreat magic—without the overwhelm of dealing with Airbnb. 

~Renowned Therapist

A true sanctuary—I felt held and that someone remembered to take care of me - which made it exponentially easier to hold everyone else!

I PRIORITIZE YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM

Private hot springs tubs & day spa (photo). A soak will be provided for you as the retreat facilitator (one of the many gifts from me, included in your stay!). A quick 8 minute drive from the Retreat House!
