The Oaks is a Southern California retreat center that hosts in-house programming and private property rentals. Guests enjoy great food, modern accommodations, personalized hospitality, and thoughtfully curated experiences. Our stunning 240 acre property and flexible indoor/outdoor gathering spaces are all yours to enjoy. 

Lots of places have agendas, but our intention is simple: make the people who come feel loved. In your busy life, we know you need rest and a little margin to reconnect with the things that make life meaningful. We’ve created a property and a process to give you exactly that.

The Oaks will be your backdrop for decades of life change, the birthplace for countless new adventures as you return season after season to create, rest, and celebrate.

Retreat begins now.

Retreat Vouchers are now available .

A Flagship Retreat (also known as a self-guided retreat) is an intentional break from your daily routine to rest, recharge, and reflect on the things that make your life meaningful.

Removing yourself from the daily demands of life from time to time to pay attention to your spiritual, physical, and mental health is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself and the people around you.

Purchase a voucher to give as a gift or to reserve your seat at any of our Flagship Retreats in 2021.

Individuals, couples, and small groups are welcome.
