April 15, 16, 17, 2026
Here is your invitation to join in on the greatest Upward Spiral Spring Fling Event ever, the 2026 Yoga, Meditation, & Vacation Retreat at Firefall Ranch in Yosemite Valley.
This Spring, the like-minded seekers of Upward Spiral can gather for 3 days and 2 nights in the finest retreat venue I’ve ever experienced, Firefall Ranch, in the rolling hills off Highway 120, just beyond Groveland, California. I have felt a deep calling to expand our Yoga, meditation, and tribal bonding to a new and thrilling environment and my search lead me to Firefall Ranch, a most ideal blend of sacred nature, exhilarating activities and brilliant aesthetic accommodations.
This Spring, we continue our most enjoyable retreat format, Yoga classes for Every Body, immersive meditation sessions, social communion and connection, in a new environment with thrilling activities for every taste. Come for the Yoga, the spiritual growth of meditation, then custom design this vacation to fulfill your heart’s desire for activities, including:
• Hiking and biking on miles and miles of the most splendid trails you’ve ever seen.
• Canoeing or kayaking on Firefall Ranch’s huge central lake, fresh with reeds and wildlife.
•Firefall Ranch’s 5-Star Spa experience, with hot and cold sauna, immersive pools with waterfalls, world- class body treatments, and sumptuous massage therapy. Firefall Ranch has it all in an all-inclusive Health & Wellness Center that rivals the best on the planet.
• Yes, Horseback Riding! Firefall Ranch is renown for one of the finest horseback riding facilities in the western U.S. Horseback riding of all kinds, from beginner to experienced, from short duration to all day excursions through the most gorgeous scenery on the planet.
• For the Sportsters: World-class Golf at Pine Mountain C.C., PGA resort quality golf just a couple of miles from Firefall. And get this, Firefall features a world-class “Disc-Golf” course right on the property, “Forest Disc Golf Course”, the site of annual Pro Disc Golf tournaments.
• Finally, it almost goes without saying, you can spend a day of your Retreat Vacation on a private or group-guided tour of Yosemite Valley. Whether you’ve never been, or been dozens of times, a holy trek to this Great Scenic Wonder opens the Heart, stimulates the Mind, and thrills the senses like no other place on the planet. And Yosemite Valley proper is just a short drive from Firefall Ranch.
* By the way! This retreat/vacation experience is open to all comers and preferences. Yoga not your thing? Come for any and all of the other available activities, adventures, and experiences. Especially meditators!
To this, we add the finest rooming accommodations you can imagine. Firefall Ranch’s cottages must be seen, and better yet, experienced to be believed. Each “Splendid Cottage” is a high-ceilinged, A-framed masterpiece of design, comfort, aesthetics, and solitude. Every Splendid Cottage is replete with indoor-outdoor fireplace, kitchen facilities, appliances, and creature comfort.
In addition, every Splendid Cottage has it’s own large, private patio deck for your own personal time communing with nature or having friends over for gathering, eating, conversation, wine, or whatever makes you most happy with others.
Every Splendid Cottage outdoor patio deck is warmed by the indoor/ outdoor fireplace. Finally every cottage is personal and private, all cottages are stand-alone units, far away from the others, making for the best of interaction or privacy, depending on what you want in the moment.
