"Restoration and recharge for the new year"

Pete was an incredible teacher and integrated buddhism principles and practices into the yoga and meditation sessions.You can tell he put a ton of thought into the curated experience--from his curriculum to even the music choices! He's also a skilled facilitator, designing experiences that helped us process and let go of that which no longer serves, deepen our relationship to ourselves, and invite in space for connection and joy. I also ADORED the setting: a beautiful, active buddhist temple in the redwoods.

"This retreat was something I was deeply craving"

Not only did I get the juiciest physical yoga practice but I found meaniful connection and inspiration here. Pete was incredibly knowledgeable and helped me get into poses I haven't been able to yet in the 8 years I've been practicing yoga. He explained poses in a way that make them easier and less of a struggle and less risk of injury for me. The meals were delicious and the rooms were warm and cozy. The people at The Land of the Medicine Buddha were incredibly generous and kind and my new friends that joined me on the retreat were special, unique and real. I left feeling uplifted and strong. It's people like Pete that make me fall deeper in love with the yoga community. This retreat was an absolute treat!

"Wonderful Yoga Retreat to start the New Year!"

The retreat was wonderful. Just what I needed to refresh and reset for the new year. Family and pets friendly is also a plus :) Our Instructor Pete strives to make everyone feel welcomed and comfortable, creating a safe space for us to share and open our hearts to each other. From the pre-retreat communication, throughout the yoga classes, meditation sessions and hiking trips, the retreat is thoughtfully organized, also leaving enough break time in between each activities. It was a special group that came together and I truly treasure the environment created and new friendships forged. Looking forward to the next retreat with Pete and his wife daughter team already!

"Great New Years Experience"

The yoga was excellent and fun. Pete has a great sense of humor, down to earth and authentic to the core. The food was consistently good and nourishing for the activities we did. The room was charming but small bathroom for three people.

"Loved loved Lassen"

Lassen National Park is a must see. It's so beautiful there. I brought my daughter Ciera to her first yoga retreat. I had an amazing time doing the things I love: meditation, yoga , hiking and being in nature. The vegetarian food was delicious. Pete and Stephanie made us feel so welcomed right away. Our last night with the talent show was so much fun. We really enjoyed connecting with others. I highly recommend it.

"Amazing Time "

What an amazing experience this retreat was. I walked in not expecting anything but wanting it all. I was searching for peace and love and that’s exactly what I received and a whole lot more. I can not wait to tell everyone about my experience.

"A lifelong memorable experience"

It's hard to use a traditional travel site review rating system to do justice to Pete's new year retreat. Because it's very spiritual. As someone walking in with barely any yoga and absolutely no retreat experience, I managed to fully engage and open my heart and mind right away. From then, every moment was beyond expectation, including the sharing, meditation, yoga, hiking, and all the small chats/laughters here and there with everyone else at the retreat. It's sincere, but no serious; it's authentic but casual. Thankful...

"Wonderful way to start the year!"

The land of medicine Buddha is beautiful and calming. The rooms are simple but comfortable. The vegetarian food was flavorful and filling with Gluten free and vegan options. There is a fridge if you have to bring your own food. There are always a nice tea selection.

The retreat with Pete was everything I was looking for: Meditation, Yoga, hikes, personal exploration and lots of laughter.

Many of the attendees (about 25) were from the Bay Area and have taken classes with Pete for years. There were a few out of town people. Everyone is very welcoming and supportive.

I would consider the yoga intermediate level but Pete is always there for modification and instruction. There were a few people new to yoga.

The weather is cool and damp (it is the area’s rainy season) but the yoga is in a heated room

"Yoga bliss in the sacred woods."

The retreat was meticulously planned and implemented, the site was beautiful, and the staff was excellent.
