The retreat is located in the town of Hyampom, an a beautiful valley along the wild and scenic South Fork of the    Trinity River in Northern California. We are surrounded by 500,000 acres of wilderness and the Trinity Mountains. This setting encourages deep contemplation and meditation.

There are wonderful hiking trails along the river and just out the back door.
The river is our dearest companion; the waters are beautiful, clear and clean great for swimming June thru September and otherwise enjoyment all thru the year




I specialize in creating and blending massage oils using sun infused herbal oils along with essential oils for health and wellness, tailored to the specific needs of each individual. I use plants grown in our garden to which I personally tend throughout the year or I collect wild flowers here in the mountains.

Staying in the Retreat Cabin by Hope Woodward:
In the spring of 2015 during the blooming of wisteria and red bud, Christine invited me to sleep in the new retreat cabin. I was in need of peace, relaxation, and reflection. The simple accommodation greeted me without distractions, wooded interior and wide windows opening to the starlit sky, Orion, and the sounds of springtime. Wrapped in cotton and wool bedding, I felt suspended in time, stripped of my "baggage", and free to reinvent myself while honoring my past. Needless to say I slept peacefully and awoke as if feeling renewed with a sense of wonderment as the morning unfolded. Such is the space that Christine provides for those coming on an herbal or healing retreat. I feel grateful to her for giving me such a blessed experience and am happy that it is there for others to enjoy
