As we’ve been listening to educators—especially those in OUSD and across the Bay Area—we realized that the original dates landed right in the heart of one of the busiest and most stressful times of the school year. To honor the realities of potential strike, end-of-year events and the emotional fatigue that comes with March, we’ve shifted the retreat to a weekend that aligns better with the OUSD school calendar and gives folks more breathing room.
New Dates: May 31 – June 2, 2026
A spacious window to reconnect with your body, with nature, and with community
CEUs available for mental health professionals
We hope this new timing supports more of you in joining us for a restorative, grounding, deeply needed pause at Alliance Redwoods. Your wellbeing matters—and we’re here to make space for it.
