Sacred Springs Mountain Retreat

I’ve been struggling with pretty severe anxiety and depression issues for many many years, and a recent situation in my life brought it back like a pile of bricks on me. I went to Sacred Springs for 7 days, and it was a beautiful experience. I found strength and independence within myself on Day 1. I was supported by Anjay and some wonderful healers with my grieving process, they were there every step of the way and so very comforting. Anjay really helped me start to unravel my anxiety problems. The meals made by Hannah and Ashley were incredible and nourishing. The different types of yoga, and meditation, with the breathwork and massages were heavenly. We even went to Indian Springs Spa one of the days, and got a volcanic ash bath and got to swim in the hot springs, it was a great experience. This was a last minute decision for me, and I am so glad I found Sacred Springs, it helped me heal and I can’t wait to go back again someday.

I went to visit Anjay about 6 weeks after I lost my spouse to cancer. With 3 young children and a mountain of grief, I didn’t expect transformation. My tears and heartbreak were met with care and love. I came with an open mind — that helped, but as a result of Anjay’s counseling, yoga, breathwork, dance, beautiful environment, and healing foods, I did leave transformed. I saw that the death of my dearest was a portal to a new place. I would never, ever have been able to achieve that without my time at Sacred Springs. I’ve brought home a renewed sense of health, changes to my diet. I’ve added meditation and yoga to my daily life. I will return to Sacred Springs and it won’t be soon enough.

The property looks nice but I had a bad experience with their communication and customer service. I ended up going elsewhere. They lack professionalism in comparison to other places.

I had been feeling essentially broken, living under a dark cloud with my head wedged firmly up my ass, when I came across Sacred Springs and booked a last minute week of much needed self-​care. I am still in awe that such a short period of time could result in the transformation that it did. Anjay and everyone else at Sacred Springs are so kind, supportive and genuine. I felt completely nurtured and nourished in body, mind and spirit. Everyone in the world should treat themselves to this week!

Going to Sacred Springs Retreat was the best decision that my mom and I have ever made in our lives. This place and the people there have impacted our lives and given us so much. I have never seen my mom as happy as she was during our time there. Anjay, his family, and everyone else at Sacred Springs are some of the greatest, most kind-​hearted people we have ever met and helped us transform in so many ways. We not only learned so much about ourselves, but we have new perspectives on our lives and the world around us. We have a new appreciation for life and are already living more fulfilling and happier lives. We feel so blessed to have found Sacred Springs and to have had the privilege of such a positive, life-​changing experience.

I was blessed to do the 7 day holistic healing retreat at Sacred Springs and a month later I still feel the gifts of this transformative experience. I chose Sacred Springs at a time in my life when I was in great need of a ‘reset’ from the inside out. The level of skillful and soulful accompaniment that Anjay and the team of practitioners/​healers offered is unmatched! This is not some ‘Woo Woo’ scene — –from the guided conscious (clarity) breath work, to reiki, massage, counseling, watsu — -the practitioners support wherever you are —creating a container of safety, acceptance and unconditional love and openheartedness. They support integration of whatever emerges for you and you have plenty of time to be with yourself, hike, journal, rest, swim, do whatever to integrate on your own. I juiced 4 of the 7 days and ate one delicious raw foods meal (in addition to juicing) for the remaining 3 days. (still making some of the delicious juice and raw foods recipes I learned there) I did not feel hungry — quite the opposite — I felt full from all the nourishing and nurturing time, the setting, the healing sessions. The rustic, simple setting allows you to connect with the earth. This is not a ‘spa’ — –it is a journey. If you are wanting to slow down and reconnect with yourself and what matters most to your soul, this is the place. I’ll be back!

I went to Sacred Springs trying to troubleshoot some major anxiety problems and found that I got much more from the experience than expected. Walking away with important life lessons, perspective and holistic tools to cope with the complexities of modern life was well worth the price of admission.
Highly recommended to those that consider yourself as your most valuable asset.

I just returned from 10 days at Sacred Springs where my mom and I did the «personal transformation retreat». It was AMAZING — by far one of the best decisions and experiences of my life. I was a little nervous about going because I had never done a retreat like this before, it’s quite a financial investment, and also there were a few recent negative reviews, but I am SO glad I trusted my intuition and Anjay and his friendly staff to take care of me– I wish everyone could experience a healing retreat like this! They are so thoughtful and loving and went above and beyond to make our stay the best experience possible.
I came on this retreat to get some quiet time to rest, be in nature and to focus on healing my mind, body and spirit after a year of many health challenges including severe adrenal fatigue, depression and insomnia. During the 10 days I literally felt my body becoming healthier and stronger, my vitality coming back and my emotions stabilizing, and was able to access my inner resources for healing in a deep and profound way. I did daily breathwork /​spiritual counseling sessions with Anjay and Yvanna. I have worked with many therapists in my life already, but Anjya and Yvanna are by far the best! I was surprised by how deep we were able to go in just 60 minutes through the practices of deep breathing and reflection/​talking together! Their specific style of therapy with breathwork was something I had never done before and I am so inspired and impressed with the results that I am looking into doing an intensive training in it later this year. My reflexology session was very therapeutic in moving deep energy blocks, and the massage felt wonderful and grounding.
The morning meditation helped me create a new habit of starting my day off with conscious breathing, mindfulness and gratitude. I have done several meditation classes (Art of living, Zazen, MBSR programs) but Anjay is the best meditation teacher I have ever studied with. I was really able to deepen my commitment to my daily practice and reach new levels of joy, energy, clarity and relaxation in my meditations during the retreat.
The daily yoga, dance or qi gong each morning were just what I needed to gradually start exercising again and begin to regain my confidence and strength– which had not been possible for me most of this year because of my health issues.
We stayed in the Moon cabin which I loved and it’s got great art and character which made me feel right at home. Beautiful views of trees out every window –it felt like I was staying in a treehouse! The property is beautiful, the natural spring water is delicious and the wildlife is abundant. I love connecting with Mother Earth and all her creatures so this was a treat to be here on this beautiful land surrounded by wilderness. The buildings are rustic and have an interesting history, but at the same time you have all the things you need to be comfortable and sleep well.
The food was so delicious! Kate and Ashley are excellent chefs and they put so much love into all the gourmet meals they make. Before arriving, I was worried about how the food would be for my body, because I have many diet restrictions/​intolerances and special requests, but Kate was so thoughtful and friendly about all my requests, she made me feel so cared for and right at home. They beautifully prepared a combination of cooked and raw food for breakfast, lunch and dinner and per my special request made me 1 serving of meat per day. They are also very knowledgeable about how to eat healthy and they are happy to share their recipes and tips for how to cook at home for optimum health.
This felt like the best investment in my health I have ever made. By supporting my own ability to access my inner resources for healing on a deep level I was able to regain trust in my body and connecting to my own resilience again. I really do believe that what I have learned (or relearned) on this retreat in terms of self care, healthy eating and movement, self love, meditation, compassion and the power of being present, are already improving my health and quality of life and will continue to provide that foundation that will allow me to live my life to the fullest.
I can’t wait to go back.
If you are saying «YES!» in your heart, but have some hesitation in your mind, follow your heart and take the leap of faith on this one –you deserve this investment in yourself. it will definitely transform your life !

I spent 3 days at Sacred Springs. I can’t believe how much I changed in just 3 days. I was looking for a place to help heal and spend some time reflecting.
First, the place is just gorgeous. It’s very easy to fall in love with the place. It’s peaceful and I quickly felt connected with nature. My cottage was private and furnished with very earthy and comfortable furniture. The bed, comforter and pillows also very comfy. (All down) I chose the juice fast and it was great, I was not hungry when I was there.
Anjay was great, besides taking me on a wonderful and challenging hike ending with a beautiful waterfall and giving great yoga classes and guided meditation– He enlightened me and help awaken a part of me to help me self heal. He has a way of showing you through through your emotions. I can say that it changed my life. I feel more aware of my self and others.
I am now going to make this type of retreat part of my lifestyle to keep my mind, soul and body in tune. Namaste

The reason I picked Sacred Springs was because of all the amazing 5 star reviews. I’m not sure if my expectations were too high, the previous reviewers were paid or things have changed drastically since 2014, but I was super disappointed. We sent back our questionnaires promptly but never heard a word from anyone until I called on our way up. The extra services my friend ordered were never confirmed, in fact Anjay told her when we arrived that he’d have to check and see if he could get someone, like it was the first time she asked. Then he didn’t communicate that he’d ever arranged it until the day we were leaving. There was no staff around anywhere if you had a question and there was no one on the property at night which was kind of scary. We did 2 days of juice and 1 day of raw food but because the other people there were doing raw the day we arrived, we had no choice but to make that our food day. So we didn’t get breakfast and because we were juicing the next day, we didn’t get what the others got for dinner. The whole retreat just lacked any type of organization or communication. The beds were so uncomfortable that neither of us slept well. The whole place was kind of dump except for new building which wasn’t in use. The breath work was amazing, best part of the retreat. I think if you are going to charge that much money, you need to do a better job overall. Next time I will fly to Palm Springs and go to WeCareSpa which is truly wonderful.

This was my second time at Sacred Springs and the experience was even more amazing than the first. The setting is tranquil and unadorned, the hosts are wise and nurturing, the delicious vegan meals are lovingly prepared and guests are encouraged but never pressured to participate in group meditation, discussion and other activities. I found such peace there and met wonderful people. What a gift this place is!

3.5 stars. I’m really struggling on whether to give this place 3 or 4 stars since there are a lot of pros and cons.
I was looking for a yoga and meditation retreat. When I made my reservation, I stated that I wanted a yoga retreat to recharge. In addition, per the website, you are allowed one session every day and can choose between a juice cleanse, raw food diet or cooked food. I was staying there for three days/​two nights. I stated I wanted nutritional counseling and a massage as my sessions and a raw food diet. Unfortunately, I got none of the above. I got breathe work and reikki as my sessions and cooked vegetarian meals (meals were good though). In addition, we did zero yoga, it was mostly meditation and dancing/​movement type stuff.
On a positive side, I really didn’t want to do breathe work but it was extremely helpful. It was pretty amazing. I went in feeling like nothing was wrong with my life and left realizing that I have issues and just repress them… which is the primary trigger to my high blood pressure. After my session, I felt like a new woman. Surprisingly amazing since I really hate breathe work and meditation.
The staff was extremely friendly but I really wish they were a little more organized with my reservations. They are pretty relaxed with the schedule so I tried to «just go with the flow» while I was there. But, when I returned, I was bummed since I paid $ 1,000 and didn’t get any yoga or a massage, something I paid for and was expecting.
If you are looking for a meditation retreat, this is probably the place for you. If you want a specific session, you should probably remind them while you are there, don’t assume they’ll remember what you signed up for.

As a doctor, I know there is no medicine that can create personal growth like this retreat. I could feel and see the personal transformation in myself and the other guests by day 3. It made me really happy to see that.
Anjay and his staff are extremely thoughtful and caring.
It is a true vacation in which you can relax and feel nurtured.
What an amazing opportunity.
The grounds are lovely. The drinks and food were wonderful. The afternoon sessions are very special.
Sacred Springs is a gem.
When I return, I am going to bring a blanket from home so I can carry those good vibrations back for my daily practices.

I can’t recommend Sacred Springs enough — It’s truly a magical place.
I was looking for a yoga or meditation retreat near San Francisco and stumbled across their website — They had everything I was looking for and more.
Unfortunately I was only able to stay for three days but I was amazed how much I got out of the experience. Hiking, quite time, meditation, Reikki, breathwork, yoga, and a juice cleanse? I was in heaven.
The location is beautiful and remote, utterly breathtaking. The facilities are modern and updated, but still with a rustic feeling. The juice & food are wonderful and refreshing. And the staff is warm, welcoming, helpful, and 100% there to make sure you’re getting whatever you need.
Don’t wait another minute — Book a retreat now and change your life!

The most beautiful and transformative retreat I have ever been to. Dont put it off, just do it! Anjay is so enlightening and the land here is so tranquil. Many light years of gratitude.

I spent a week with Anjay and the Sacred Springs family and it has forever changed my life. I have never been to such a peaceful and relaxing place. The lessons that I learned during my time at Sacred Springs are ones that I will cherish and implement to improve my life. The juicing cleanse is great, I was never hungry and to be perfectly honest, I had more energy on the cleanse then I do back to my normal vegan diet. I can’t wait to go back to Sacred Springs and further my path for spiritual growth.

I absolutely loved this place: Serene, peaceful and rejuvenating. This is the best type of vacation. From this you don’t need to relax, you come back home and want to continue (with uplifted spirits) what you do daily and see the changes within you. :)

I have been to Sacred Springs 2 times in the past year. The retreat has helped me start to truly change my life. The juice cleanse is wonderful and healing. Spirituality, meditating and breathwork are part of the daily practice. I am emotional and have conflict in my mind. I finally am thinking clearly and changing my life. I understand the connection between the mind and body and would not have without the help of Anjay. Meditating has become a daily practice, juicing a way of life and clear thinking a gift.
Anjay is truly like having a personal Yoda helping you understand life and how your thoughts affect your life. With Anjays coaching I am able to break through the clutter in my mind. I would recommend Sacred Springs to anyone who wants to relax, detox, decompress, energize their lives and truly find out who they are and who they want to be.
Namaste

I had the pleasure of working with Sacred Springs Retreat on a three-​day personal retreat, and I cannot express how valuable this time was to me. I am so grateful to have had Anjay, to guide me back to the inner peace and happiness that I have been missing for so long. Each session was cathartic and intense in its own unique way, and I know that the discoveries I made will remain with me for a lifetime.
I truly believe that these three powerful days have given me the tools to deal with both major and day-​to-​day difficulties in a healthier and more constructive manner. I am so happy to have been able to connect spiritually with such caring people who understood what I was going through and how to get me through it!
So whether you are in need of deep spiritual healing, guidance during a challenging time, or a stronger connection to Spirit, I have every confidence that Sacred Heart Retreats will help you reach that goal. Thank you!

I came to Sacred Spring for my birthday in March and it was a truly wonderful experience. I needed to go somewhere to unplug, recharge, and refocus and this retreat offered the perfect setting I that. The 3 day retreat included an awesome juice fast, lots of yoga, great meditation and spa services. It’s a very low-​key spot, so come as you are and just be open to the experience. Andrzej and his team are really fantastic and I just can speak highly enough about Spirit Springs.
