Stallion Oaks Ranch in Descanso, CA

xxx

Stallion Oaks Ranch is a 243-acre retreat and function center operated by The Unity Center. It's located in Descanso, a Southern California Community about 45 minutes east of downtown San Diego. It's graced by oak trees, hiking trails, and a substantial spread of beautiful wilderness area. The ranch has a large gathering structure (seen above), bathroom and shower facilities, a pool, a meditation labyrinth, and new yurts where you can throw down a sleeping bag. The Aikido retreat is a communal gathering of Aikidoists. We practice, play, and prepare meals together. There is no matted area, so training is with weapons, and a creative empty-handed spirit that complements the natural environment. Training uniforms are unnecessary. Many people bring their own tent, which may be set up almost anywhere on the property. The platform yurts are available for those who don't mind sharing space. Meals are included in the cost of the retreat. We are honored this year to welcome Teja Bell Sensei as our guest instructor. Read about him at: http://www.ai-ki-do.org/Dojocho/Spotlights/TBell.html
