THE LOTUS LAB

Do your best work here.

Cultivate flow & achieve peak performance.

The Lotus Lab is an intensely focused five-day work retreat that fosters creativity & productivity. Bring your most important project. Give yourself time to think, and apply it to work that matters.

Find your flow.

Flow is a mental state that enables peak performance; where the external world recedes into the background and tasks become effortless. The best way to reach this state is to put yourself in a supportive environment.

That’s where we come in.

The Lotus Lab unfolds in the serene confines of a Northern California forest sanctuary, where each day is filled with moments that inspire awe. Our relaxed, distraction-free environment includes access to functional food as medicine, yoga, breathwork, meditative experiences, acupuncture, and more.

Taking a break has never been so productive!

Embracing simple habits can yield extraordinary results.

The Lotus Lab is a chance for you to break out of your routine, unearth new techniques, and discover methods that contribute to your flow. Join us at our next retreat to find a community of like-minded, accomplished peak performers.

Bring your best ideas to fruition.

Clear your calendar and devote yourself to 5 days of focused work. Whether you are developing a new business plan, taking time for a think week, going heads down on a code sprint, fine-tuning that script you’ve been avoiding, and completing performance reviews, The Lotus Lab has what you need. Join us and set aside all distractions while you immerse yourself in an inspiring environment, find your flow, and achieve peak performance.

Join The Lotus Lab

The Lotus Lab is a date with your most creative, productive, happiest self.

Immerse yourself in California's golden hills.

The first edition of The Lotus Lab will take place on the grounds of a vibrant 730-acre coastal forest sanctuary. Nestled in the charming town of Cazadero in The Russian River Valley, this lush retreat provides a distinctive setting dedicated to biodiversity and sustainability.

Perched above the cloud line, the participants will relish sweeping panoramas and awe-inspiring vistas that stretch out in every direction.

The Lotus Lab takes place in a natural landscape. Because of this, it is best suited for those who desire encounters with nature and feel able to navigate areas of uneven terrain.

Enjoy off-grid living

“Jupes” offer guests an unforgettable stay. These spacious outdoor dwellings provide a unique way to experience the stunning landscapes that surround you. Each Jupe has a queen bed, 11’ ceilings, and dimmable floor-to-ceiling light.

The facilities are entirely off-grid, utilizing solar power and composting toilets making this the perfect retreat for those who would rather trade parking-lot views for Milky Way panoramas.

Off-grid doesn’t mean unplugged! While cell service is scarce, high-speed WiFi is transmitted across the grounds.
