Surf Retreat/Digital Detox - March 28th - Deposit
A digital detox is a period of time when a person voluntarily refrains from using digital devices such as smartphones, computers, and social media platforms. This form of detoxification has gained popularity, as individuals have increased their time spent on digital devices and the Internet.
Our Goal of the 4 days is to enjoy surfing, enjoy what Oceanside has to offer, and connect with ourselves apart from our phones and internet.
The material will be brief and whatever you would like to discover will be on your own terms and effort. Activities will take place in the morning and evenings allowing the day to be based on your own experience and curiosities.
Rooms include: Private Queen Suite

- Awareness about developing habits
- Aiming to reduce stress and anxiety caused by the over-use of technology
- Re-focusing offline social interactions and actions
- Re-connecting with nature
- Increasing mindfulness
- Improving one's learning ability by decreasing distractions and eliminating multi-tasking
