Private retreats

Private retreats are intended for those seriously seeking healing, guidance, and/or inspiration from Angela de la Agua. This is not an Airbnb alternative, but rather a valuable opportunity to experience sacred living from Angela in a variety of ways in an intimate setting, camping right on her expansive land. If you have ever been curious about the way Angela lives her daily life, this is your invitation to experience her most authentic setting and receive the blessings of a life lived with intention.

“Angela and Joshua Tree are the most intensely beautiful teachers.”

Sacred time for yourself

I have lived in solitude on this land full-time since 2011, and have cultivated an intimate relationship with all that dwells here. I know the medicine of solitude in the desert and how powerful it is for healing and transformation. I’m opening up my personal sacred site and invite you to experience the gifts I’ve been blessed with living here, and am here to support your time of retreat. By surrendering to the desert and its stillness, you surrender to your own healing. The elements, plants, and animals are all teachers here to help you release what no longer serves you and to receive the truth of your heart.

May you be blessed with the medicine + magic of the land I've lived on that has laid the foundation for my own journey of transformation and expansion.

supported solitude

Your time of retreat is as private as you wish it to be. You may receive the gift of undisturbed time to yourself as much as you’d like to go deep into stillness. Or, you may like to work in depth with me through private sessions. My land is located in a remote part of Joshua Tree that is very quiet and peaceful with no close neighbors around. This undisturbed desert land enables you to connect with the earth and see wildlife daily. The views are expansive with heart-opening sun + moon rises, and sun + moon sets. The area is perfect for long walks as well as a mountain within walking distance for hiking or going deeper into the stillness. This area is a special part of the desert, a true gift to experience. 

You may deepen your experience of inner stillness by doing a juice cleanse customized for you by me. Kitchari cleansing is also available for those who want to experience this Ayurvedic approach to detoxifying the system.

There is only one guest reservation at a time, you will be the only retreat guest on the property. If you’d like to enjoy the use of an indoor bathroom and kitchen, these are located inside my small cabin. There is a shaded structure close to the cabin you are welcome to use, and an outdoor firepit. Overall, this is an intimate + valuable experience in my sacred space that holds an expanse of healing energy, inspiration, and love.
