Alkalign Studios - Rancho La Puerta
Types of Events:

October 11-18, 2025

Making time for and healing yourself in many ways is something you owe yourself and those who rely on you — family, friends, coworkers, committee members and/or your boss. You cannot give from an empty cup and it is important to listen to your needs in order to renew, reflect or redirect your life. Rancho La Puerta helps you find new paths to healing as well as new ways to move and nourish your body. 

Join and reunite with your Blue Crew this fall for our Fall Retreat at Rancho La Puerta! This amazing resort immerses you in so many ways to hit your reset button and gives you the space to breathe and nurture yourself. RLP is the world’s oldest healing resort and the perfect escape from life’s stresses and distractions, allowing you to experience a transformative vacation that empowers you to live your best life. 

The resort is set on a private 4000 acre nature preserve in the proximity of sacred Mount Kuchuma. Every view from every casita is breathtaking. Plan your day from a variety of activities including sunrise hikes, fitness classes (including Alkalign!), healing and spa therapies, workshops, cooking classes, pickleball/tennis, swimming or rest and rejuvenate in one of the 3 dozen hammocks or 3 pools surrounded by the aromatic and healing plants and herbs found throughout the resort. Don’t forget to book your day at the spa and enjoy a heavenly massage, facial, acupuncture or Watsu therapy. 

Between activities and rest, enjoy healthy, healing, international cuisine that will make your taste buds happy and give you the health boost your whole body needs. Meals are largely vegetarian and RLP uses their “slow food” principles  of using fresh, local and seasonal produce farmed from the Ranch’s own gardens.
