The Perfect Weekend
Three days to reset your habits
and align your lifestyle
with your human design
with Schuyler Grant
& Jeff Krasno
Topanga, CA // April 10-12, 2026
What would it feel like to live a “perfect” weekend? One that completely aligns your human physiology for optimal wellness?
Well, now you can find out.
In this immersive, 3-day retreat, you will both learn and practice the principles of integrated wellness: You will discover the science of health and longevity and embody it in practice.
You will eat in a way that balances your blood sugar and promotes a healthy gut. You will move to mobilize your joints and strengthen your muscles. You will wake up and go to bed in a way that primes you for amazing sleep. We will tell stories and connect around the fire to nourish our hearts and minds.
By the end of the weekend, you will not only have a renewed sense of vitality but also an understanding of how to bring this feeling into your daily life through simple choices and smart habit stacking.
Come join us for a quintessentially Commune weekend of science, storytelling, movement, breath, and shared ritual.

Our Playground
At the end of the end of the end of a road, perched atop a remote valley of the Santa Monica mountains, sits Topanga Commune: 10 acres of meandering paths, oak trees, palms and gardens abutting state land. You won’t believe you are less than an hour from the heart of LA.
The property has a main house, a guest house, four tea house private rooms, three sweet A-Frame cabins, and plenty of space for camping. Sleep on organic mattresses and linens and enjoy the bounty of LA’s best local farmers for every home-cooked meal.
The property also has a sauna, hot tub, plunge pool, basketball, badminton, and a plethora of hammocks.
Songwriter Neil Young lived on this property for many years and was deeply inspired by this magical spot. If there is anywhere in the world to find “a heart of gold,” it may be here.
“I want to live, I want to give. I've been a miner for a heart of gold. It's these expressions I never give that keep me searching for a heart of gold.”
~ Neil Young
