Authenticity, Intimacy and Freedom
Women’s Retreat with Alaya Babineau of Wilderness Within
Harbin Hot Springs was the home for us both for almost 20 years. This land and the community provided a lifestyle very close to the earth. A life that valued freedom. As we mature we have both discovered that true freedom is inner freedom, the freedom to discover and be who we are in a real way. Our lifes at Harbin invited walking barefoot, carrying our water, sitting in many women's circles for moon ceremonies, sweat lodge, singing, dancing and celebrating diversity. We together learned the way of the earth from the community's grandmother, Lorindra Moonstar.
We are so delighted to invite you to join us on this volcanic land and nourishing embrace of the warm waters to explore authenticity – the teaching of being real, being who and what we are. Each one of us is unique and precious. Exploring intimacy with the land and with our heart. What is in the way? What wants to be expressed? What wants to be held in silence? What wants to be known? Can I let my vulnerability be visible?
Discovering and sharing our authentic expression and truth in any given moment can be very challenging in a culture that does not always value vulnerability and honesty.
To claim our true power as sovereign beings and share our unique gifts with awareness of the interdependence of life, requires a safe space to cultivate vulnerability and true expression.

“What an amazing retreat with Satya at Sierra Hot Springs! This was my first time working with Satya who came highly recommended, also my first time at Sierra Hot Springs and both exceeded my expectations. Satya's healing energy mixed with being in nature at the hot springs made the weekend magical. I am looking forward to doing more work with this beautiful yoga practitioner.” - Retreat Participant
“Satya is such a special individual and it’s an honor to have any time at all in her presence. Add in therapeutic hot springs, yoga, meditation, chanting and the intimacy of a small group in a beautiful natural environment – at the end of the weekend you pretty much feel like you’ve “gone to the moon.” I can’t recommend this retreat highly enough for anyone wanting to s-l-o-w, move more inward and come home to themselves”. –2019 Retreat Participant
