Retreat with Hannah at Esalen!
Located in dreamy Big Sur, California, Esalen is a world renowned holistic learning and leading global retreat center for guests and faculty to explore and realize their human potential through experience, education, and research. Esalen resides on land where three sacred waters—the ocean, river, and healing hot springs—meet. It was historically inhabited by the Esselen Tribe and is currently co-stewarded with the Esselen Tribe of Monterey County.
Hannah is a faculty member and would love to see you at one of her upcoming retreats!
Our days will follow a nourishing schedule of experiences and reflections balanced harmoniously with relaxing meals, community connection, and starlit soaks in Esalen’s healing baths. Music, nature, poetry, shadow work, journaling, breathwork, and ritual will all be artfully woven into our time together.
From a past participant ::
“I am so grateful I was able to attend Hannah’s retreat. It was exactly what I was hoping for and so much more. The stories and story time were perfection—she’s a true sage. I felt so seen and heard by the whole group; I want to hold that in my heart forever. Thanking Hannah deeply.”

“When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?” —Gabrielle Roth
Your life is not simply a task to be managed but a mythopoetic mystery to be lived. Take a break from the mundane and let yourself be enchanted again. This workshop offers a profound opportunity to commune with the deeper aspects of Self through movement, inquiry, and mythology. To dream. To play. To feel alive.
Since the beginning, humans have looked to stories to make meaning of our lives. Revered mythologist and 1960s Esalen faculty Joseph Campbell wrote, “Mythology is the penultimate truth — penultimate because the ultimate cannot be put into words. It is beyond words.” On this retreat, we’ll engage with daily stories that have the power to help us make sense of our lives, nourish, teach, inspire, empower, and heal us.
Experiential practices include:
Archetypal wisdom and nondual yogic mythology
Breathwork and meditation
Yoga (all levels), dance, and somatic journeys
Self-inquiry and writing
Rewilding, song, and nature ceremony
Music, nature, poetry, connection, and ritual are exquisitely curated for your hero/heroine’s journey. Our nourishing schedule is balanced harmoniously with relaxing meals, community care, and soaks in Esalen’s healing baths.
Whether you’re searching for renewed meaning in life, navigating life’s complex transitions, or simply enjoy being enchanted, this workshop will help awaken your spirit to courage, gladden your heart, calm your mind, and widen your perspective to vast possibilities. You might just fall in love with existence again.
Grace awaits.
