About this trip

Snuggle up with Mother Nature in the Magical 108 acres of Rolling Range Ranch. Bring your tent and sleeping bag to camp fireside on the super soft grass under the open sky. 


Not sure if you’re a camper? We have ADD-ON options to sprinkle in a little more lux if you like! See details down below. *


OUR WEEKEND!

Along with a weekend in the hills & vales of Rolling Range Ranch, you can expect GORGEOUS, farm-to-table gourmet meals by Chef Kali Carson. Her food is seriously beautiful... like a warm hug and will make your heart & hormones sing. Enjoy Kali’s divinity for all your meals from dinner Friday through brunch Sunday, plus no meal planning, cooking or dishes!


As always we are bringing in an awesome special guest educator.. We can’t wait to work with Janel Anderson, hormone specialist, Doctor of Natural Medicine and Certified Functional Nutritionist (among many other degrees and titles). Janel is a wealth of knowledge and truly passionate about helping women understand their bodies and thrive as they approach midlife and beyond.


In between Kali’s magical meals, Janel’s enlightening offerings, and plenty of freetime, we’ll explore a range of yoga, Qigong, music, meditation and more, led by your Two Little Birds,  Nicole Koch & Beverly Jane Peatross.


This dreamy Summer Solstice weekend campout is an invitation to slow down and to prioritize your holistic well being in an open-hearted, playful, peaceful way. Think light, love and connection in nature. Nurture your body+heart+spirit, find quiet reflection in the countryside, and open up to the lost art of free time. Just be - with the hawks, the hills, yourself and one another. DELICIOUS!


Plan ahead to bring your own tent (unless you nab an ADD-ON) to set up upon arrival Friday. Pitch a little solo tent or bring a family sized and share with friends… totally up to you! Campers or RVs welcome also, (but no hookups).



*FEELING MORE GLAMPY THAN CAMPY? We've got ADD-ON options just for you. Comfy yourself up a smidge. These are limited and first come, first served, so if you know you're gonna want one of these, best to reserve it ASAP.



If you love the idea of camping but don’t wanna deal with the tent?

OPTION 1: Reserve a GLAMPING TENT.

Enjoy it on your own, or invite a couple more friends to share. It sleeps up to 4 comfortably.

Priced by the TENT: $120 ADD-ON, split 1-4 ways depending on what you choose. (4 available)



If the great outdoors isn’t your thing, snag a bunk bed in our cozy, shared Bunk House Bungalows.

OPTION 2: Reserve yourself a TWIN TOP BUNK.

Priced by the BED: $120 ADD-ON (3 available)


OPTION 3: Spread out in a FULL SIZED BOTTOM BUNK.

Priced by the BED: $150 ADD-ON (3 available)

Tuition

HOW TO SIGN UP!

EACH RETREATER selects the SOLSTICE SLEEPOVER package to reserve their space in the retreat. 


Your tuition covers ALL of the amazingness you'll see if you scroll down below. If you want to join us but can't swing the full tuition up front, please reach out ASAP, and we will work out a pricing plan.


ADDING-ON UPGRADES

GLAMPERS: AGAIN, ONLY ONE person per glamp tent will need to reserve the tent as an ADD-ON item in registration, then you may split the added cost amongst your tent-mates. Up to 4 people fit comfortably in each glamp tent, depending on how much wiggle room you like. Please have your sleeping buddies in mind before you upgrade, as you will be responsible for the cost of the glamp tent once you've reserved it. There are only 4 such tents, and they will be allotted on a first-come, first-served basis. BYO camping mat/mattress and sleeping bag.


BUNK BEDS: ADD-ON IS BY THE BED (TOP OR BOTTOM BUNK, TWIN OR FULL). Note that you’ll be sharing a room with another retreater. We will do our best to accommodate any sharing requests, but it will be 100% dependent on you AND your requested bunkmate reserving those ADD-ONs ASAP.


PLEASE NOTE

We are not able to offer refunds, and all payments are final. In the case of an EMERGENCY, please contact us directly at [email protected]. Please check your cal, your family cal, your work cal, your sports cal, all cals BEFORE booking. :)

Nicole and Beverly Jane’s collision course toward yoga destiny happened over an extended playdate with their then kindergarten boys. Both yoga instructors, with a penchant toward non- chalance, the two got along famously. When Nicole moved to Nosara, Costa Rica and started working at Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort, she knew a retreat was in order. And Beverly Jane proved to be the perfect partner. While quite different from the outside, Beverly Jane and Nicole both share the same attitude toward life, love and yoga. They have been told (more than once) that their yin/yang combo, individual teaching styles and unique passion for how and what they teach create a beautiful and cohesive blend. This happy confluence of talent and energy already has and will continue to result in a beautiful, lively, introspective and yes, potentially life altering retreat experience. For more info, enjoy pursuing their individual bios and websites on our main trip page.

I had the gift of an experience that was deeply nurturing—filled with breathwork, yoga, nourishing food, meaningful connection, and hiking in nature. Camping under the stars with Beverly Jane and Nicole and other amazing woman added so much magic. It was grounding, restorative, and something I’ll carry with me always. So grateful.

Amazing programming, people and experience. Deeply thought through and intentional content and itinerary created by truly experienced, hard working, gifted and natural leaders Beverly Jane and Nicole. They think through the theme and related yoga, energy work, activities, connection to nature and culture and land, and weave together a cohesive and yet flexible experience that cannot be matched. If you are looking to really connect with yourself and practice whatever you're practicing, while getting some gentle guidance, inspiration, camaraderie tons of fun at the same time, this is the retreat for you.

BEST TRIP EVER
By Nicole Koch & for Sierra Soul WINTER 2025 on Feb 19, 2025
Nicole and Beverly Jane are an amazing duo to get the most out of your retreat with them. I always leave their retreats with a great reset. I was nourished with good food, my spirit was nourished with dropping in and tapping in and my energy pathways were opened up with chi gong, wild river cold plunging in the Yuba river (38 degrees!), yoga and breathwork. ❤️ Plus, I connected with amazing ladies and my old friends from past retreats. We all need this from time to time and boost the ability to integrate into your daily life.

A long-time OG retreat fan of these two, hard to pass their offerings up. Each and every retreat exceeds expectations. For me, It’s been all about the expansion, the love & the practices that invite us to push our edges just enough to experience a sense of release. Best part? You don’t have to be a super nimble yogi or a seasoned journaler (in fact there’s a line in a poem Nicole likes to recite about how she “didn’t journal about it, she just let go…”). So don’t journal about it, or buy a bunch of new yoga outfits, just LET Go, and gooooooo…..
