Mindful Birthing Residential Retreat & Summit 2026
A Gathering for Practice, Learning, and Community
Mindful Birthing and team warmly invite you from October 16 to 18, 2026 to the
Mindful Birthing Residential Retreat & Summit.
Join us for a three-day, in-person gathering bringing together faculty, alumni, staff, board members, and invited guests.
Set on the beautiful Asilomar State Beach & Conference Grounds, Monterey Peninsula , this will weave together practice, dialogue, learning, and time in nature, creating a container that supports both professional development and personal nourishment.
Let's come together as a community of practice, to learn from one another, to reconnect with what matters most, and to spend time in a setting that supports reflection and renewal.
What to Expect
The retreat will include a blend of structured and spacious offerings, including:
-
Mindfulness practice sessions, including meditation and gentle movement
-
Presentations and talks from Mindful Birthing faculty and invited guests
-
Panel discussions with time for reflection and dialogue
-
Research updates and conversations bridging practice and current evidence
-
Opportunities for alumni to share experiences, insights, and applications of Mindful Birthing and Parenting
-
Built-in time for rest, informal connection, and walking by the ocean
This gathering is designed to honor both the “science and the spirit” of Mindful Birthing and Parenting.
