Joshua Tree Weekend Retreat

Enjoy a long weekend in the California desert…

March 27th — 30th, 2025

Facilitated by Katie Schiffgen

A Spring Weekend in the Desert Sun

I’ve always wanted to visit Joshua Tree! I love exploring and getting a taste of all the different deserts this world has to offer… each with its own unique vibration! It’s fascinating to me that they’re all so similar, yet so different at the same time.

I’m excited to get outside and soak up some sunshine and enjoy some time rejuvenating my soul with meditation, yoga, breathwork, sound, and perhaps a nice hike out near the Giant Rock! #IYKYK

I’m excited about this unique little desert oasis I found for our group to connect and go inward… as well as soak in the magic of the great outdoors! I hope you’ll consider joining me!!!

The Space: Psychic Arches
INDOOR LUXURY

Step into a spacious, light-filled villa where modern comforts meet desert charm. The heart of the home features an inviting living area with plush seating, perfect for relaxing after a day of desert adventures. The pool table and arcade console offer endless entertainment, while the sauna room is your personal retreat for unwinding and rejuvenating.

Music lovers can create the perfect mood with our vinyl record player, offering a vintage soundtrack to your stay. Psychic Arches is designed to provide both relaxation and entertainment, ensuring you always have something to enjoy indoors.


EXPANSIVE OUTDOORS

The villa’s 3,000 sq ft covered patio is the ideal spot for soaking in the beauty of the desert landscape. Whether you're eating dinner, lounging in the afternoon sun, or stargazing at night, this patio has it all.

For cooling off in the desert heat, take a dip in the 8' Cowboy Pool, or unwind in the hot tub as you watch the sunset or gaze at the stars. If you're looking for a little friendly competition, the villa comes equipped with some classic yard games for hours of outdoor fun. And even a swing set and a merry go round if your inner child wants to come out and play!


PRIVATE BALCONY AND DESERT VIEWS

Each bedroom in Psychic Arches is designed for ultimate comfort, ensuring you wake up refreshed and ready to explore. Step out onto the private balcony for a quiet morning coffee or a peaceful evening watching the endless desert horizon. The balcony provides a personal retreat where you can take in the stunning surroundings in complete tranquility.
