OF TWO MINDS Retreat for Female Founders at Zaca Lake November 13th-16th

Thursday November 13th - Sunday November 16th

Zaca Lake 8000 Foxen Canyon Los Olivos, CA

The Of Two Minds retreats for women founders, co-hosted by PALMA Colectiva and State of Feeling, is a thoughtfully curated experience for founders seeking to further align their businesses with their heart's calling. The name, Of Two Minds, speaks to the duality between reconciling one's spiritual calling with their life choices and chosen career path. It can be described in many ways, like the call to evolve outdated systems and the tension between being and doing.

This retreat invites us to return to ourselves and the land, embracing uncertainty as a gateway to opportunity—fueling creativity, resilience, and ways of understanding that transcend the day-to-day grind. In the quiet of Zaca Lake, we'll find spaciousness in reflection, grounding in community, and strength in vulnerability. We'll embrace the full spectrum of what it means to be a woman founder, a leader, and a human in these challenging times. With space to pause, we'll reconnect to the truth that all we need already resides within us—and from that place, the future vision for our lives and businesses becomes clearer.

Zaca Lake is a 320 acre private sanctuary surrounded by the Los Padres National Forest. Located less than an hour north of Santa Barbara, Zaca Lake is just off of Foxen canyon road, one of the most distinguished wine trails in Santa Ynez Valley. Gentle rolling hills dotted with ancient oak trees lead you to the entry of Zaca Lake — the gateway to the San Rafael wilderness. A rare, natural spring-fed lake is at the center of the property. Once believed to be created by the supernatural, this ancient body of water can be enjoyed year-round by guests. Nestled under a canopy of redwoods, a series of cabins line the north side of the lake. Every building has been meticulously restored to bring comfort and luxury to all guests.

The days will support an organic flow of mindfulness practices, workshops, communal activities, and nourishing meals. Combining leadership coaching and spiritual practices, we’ll set our intentions, release our limiting beliefs and reconnect with our personal and business purpose to visualize a more aligned future for ourselves. Each day will flow from spiritual work to practical, leadership-centered workshops, to nourishing meals, to movement and ceremonies that connect us to ourselves, the group, and the land around us.

Each wellness activation will be mindfully planned to enhance and integrate the theme of the workshops. We will begin each day with a gentle Kundalini practice with Abigail Lorick of Align From Within. Abigail’s approach strays from the traditional sense as she organically blends breath, mantra and yoga with ceremonial music and practices. Other rituals throughout the retreat include a Cacao Ceremony, Breathwork and Sound Bath. One evening we will get to indulge in holistic treatments at the Lavender Barn Spa at The Inn At Mattei’s Tavern, an award winning spa with a thermal experience of sauna, steam, hot tubs, cold plunge and outdoor baths. Each guest will choose either a 60 min massage or facial.
