Nestled in the Montecito Foothills, our Santa Barbara weekend retreats offer intentional space to slow down, rest, and reconnect — whether you’re seeking a peaceful coastal getaway, a community-centered retreat experience, or something in between.

Each weekend is thoughtfully curated to honor choice, pace, and personal space. Some guests arrive simply wanting privacy, ease, and time in nature. Others come for shared meals and meaningful connection. And others come for deeper work. All experiences are designed to feel welcoming, supportive and unpressured.

An Intentional Retreat Setting in Santa Barbara

Our Santa Barbara retreats are hospitality-forward and heart-centered, inviting you to reconnect with yourself, with one another, and with the natural world in ways that feel grounding and nourishing. Our quiet retreat space is tucked away in the Montecito foothills, just minutes from beaches, downtown Santa Barbara, and the Funk Zone.

The property offers privacy, expansive mountain and valley views, and a sense of ease that encourages you to truly exhale. On-site features include private patios, gardens, outdoor soaking, a firepit, and our two sweet goats, along with serene spaces to rest, reflect, or simply enjoy the view. Multiple walking and hiking routes with ocean and mountain vistas begin right outside your door.

We’re proud to extend the exceptional hospitality of TwoCan Retreats to Santa Barbara. Known for our five-star Costa Rica retreats, we bring the same level of care, presence, and attention to detail to our Santa Barbara offerings — creating experiences that feel personal, thoughtful, and deeply human.

• Journaling, creative practices, and healing rituals

• Nature-based experiences and local Santa Barbara excursions

• Spacious time for rest, reflection, and integration

• Guest teachers, practitioners, song leaders, and poets

• Shared meals and time around the fire

Pricing varies based on accommodations and level of participation (1–3 days).

3. Closed-Container Weekend Retreats

Immersive weekend retreats held in a dedicated container.

These Santa Barbara weekend retreats are offered periodically and held as a closed container, meaning participants commit to the full arc of the retreat together. Programming includes facilitated group experiences, somatic practices, ritual, intentional community building, and plenty of time for rest, reflection and integration in nature.

This format is best suited for those seeking depth, continuity, and an immersive retreat experience.

Pricing varies based on accommodations: Glamping Tents/Vintage Volkswagen Vans or Private Guest Suite

Our Approach

At TwoCan Retreats, we design weekend retreats that honor the full spectrum of the human experience — making room for rest and play, solitude and connection, joy and tenderness. While not all Santa Barbara retreats are explicitly grief-focused, our work is grief-informed and grounded in compassion, presence, mindfulness, and self-compassion. Whether you arrive seeking a quiet restorative weekend or meaningful connection in community, you’ll find an environment that respects where you are and invites you to engage in ways that best support you.

Giving back is a core part of our mission. Through local partnerships, community collaboration, and acts of service, we strive to leave a positive impact on Santa Barbara and the communities that welcome our retreats in Costa Rica.
