From Burnout to Brilliance:
A Teacher's Journey to Selfcare
Refresh, Renew & Recharge ~
A Spring Break Retreat for Educators —Join us!
April 7 - 10, 2025
Rediscovering Your Teaching Spark
Mandala Springs Wellness Retreat Center
Ready to transform your teaching journey?
Join us for "Burnout to Brilliance" - a 4-day spring break retreat where self-care
meets summer camp fun!
Imagine starting your mornings with yoga and meditation, diving into workshops that give you practical tools for classroom calm, and spending afternoons relaxing, reading, unplugging and connecting with other fellow educators of all ages.
This isn't just another professional development - it's your chance to recharge, learn science-based teachings and practice strategies for stress management, and to connect with fellow educators who get it. Between guided sessions on emotional regulation and mindfulness, you'll find yourself having a warm cup of tea, sharing stories under the stars, roasting marshmallows and rediscovering your teaching passion and joy.
Four days to focus on YOU - because the best teachers aren't just masters of lesson plans, they're masters of self-care. Early bird pricing available now - give yourself the gift of renewal that will last all year long!

Mandala Springs is a beautiful, pristine, eco-wellness retreat center located only 20 minutes from Middletown, CA and Harbin Hot Springs. We are a vegetarian and substance-free nature sanctuary. Our policy regarding guest rentals is that we only allow plant-based and vegetarian food to be cooked on the property, in respect of the land and other guests who come here for sanctuary, growth and learning. Therefore, we ask all our campers and guests to honor and respect our intentions for the benefit of all visitors.
We are located on 200 acres of pristine parkland near the town of Cobb in beautiful Lake County California. We have cabins, cottages, country homes, RV & campsites available. We can accommodate up to 87 people in beds and up 400 people camping and in RV's sites. Our amenities include a seasonal swimming pool (May to November), paddle boats, paddle boards and kayaks within our on-site lagoon, refreshing ankle-knee high wading in our year-round Kelsey Creek, and an Archery Range for single, family, or larger group sessions. We have 2 community fire pits for roasting marshmallows, sipping tea and bringing out the instruments for group "kirtan" (sing-alongs). There is also an onsite mini-golf course, hiking trails, yoga & meditation spots (throughout the hiking trails and alongside the creek). Robert Louis Stevenson Park, Calistoga, and Napa Valley are only a 40-minute drive from the property. Hardester's market is an easy go-to grocery shopping market, located inside a cozy town center just down the road. Next door to Hardester’s is Mountain High Coffee and Books for good eats and refreshing cappucinnos.
