If you are flying in to join us, LAX is just over 2 hours to the retreat space and San Diego Airport is a little over an hour. We don’t arrange rides, you can uber or rent a car.
Rush hour travel can double these times so plan well.
For out of state participants as well for the locals we strongly recommend taking a time off post retreat, stay another day, enjoy the coastal cities to allow slow integration.
