Come to a Mystic Maker retreat in San Diego from May 17 - 20.
Get ready for one of your favorite weekends ever! For the first Mystic Maker retreat, we’ll be in San Diego, CA at a beautiful 2 story home (professionally managed by Marriott Home & Villas).
Our stunning venue is the perfect getaway to start the spring season. We will be immersed in striking views of the Pacific Ocean from the second-floor balcony of our San Diego home.
The backyard is an oasis of seclusion, allowing you to lay back in your hammock under the Californian sun. The interior flaunts an open floor plan with high-end finishes throughout including an awe-inspiring kitchen, and hardwood floors. The exterior features an outdoor dining area that rests under fairy lights providing the perfect setting for relaxing and enjoying meals together.
This weekend will leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated , complete with great crafts, magic and new friends.
Want to come but can't get your friends to join? Our retreats are solo traveler friendly!
