Welcome to the Lab

at Commune Topanga

At the end of the end of the end of a road, nestled in a remote valley of the Santa Monica mountains, is Commune Topanga — a laboratory for living and learning on 10 acres of meandering paths, oak trees, and organic gardens. 

 

Our Lab is where the ideas and practices embraced by Commune play out in real life. It is a gathering place for inspiring teachers and thought leaders. It is a setting to slow down and shift your brain to long-wave thoughts. It is a place to practice, plant, and cook. But, most of all, the Lab is designed to foster deep levels of connection between people, face-to-face. It is a place to commune. 

Scroll down for a list of all our upcoming retreats and events as well as a peek into the many projects percolating in the Lab: solar installations, soil regeneration, beekeeping, chickens, and much more.

Upcoming Retreats

Science & Soul: A Women’s Longevity Retreat

with Dr. Mary Pardee & Schuyler Grant

March 6-8, 2026

Longevity science is usually catered to men, but women live longer and continue in their many roles as caregivers, breadwinners, and life explorers well into their latter decades, so optimizing your healthspan is of utmost importance. There are also health issues that especially affect women, such as autoimmune disease and dementia, which need special attention.

Throughout this retreat, we will dive into crucial topics around women’s health, including bone health, maintaining muscle, hormonal balance, nutrition, and heart health. You will leave knowing the key things to consider as you age, avoiding the quick fixes and fads that overcomplicate.

Harmony and Balance: A 4-Day Retreat

with Mimi Kuo-Deemer

March 19-22, 2026

At the heart of qigong and Chinese medicine lies the balance of Yin and Yang. When these energies come into harmony within us, we can sense the wholeness and ease that are always present—within and around us. As the Spring Equinox brings the Earth into balance between day and night, it offers a time to pause and notice how balance moves through our own lives. 

Join Mimi Kuo-Deemer for four days of qigong, meditation, and reflection during this potent time of renewal. Through Wood-focused qigong practices, Daoist and Buddhist wisdom, and guided meditations, we will cultivate stability and spaciousness in body, mind, and spirit. Together, we will attune to the energies of nature through playful explorations and deepening practices. Get ready to grow your resources for balance, unity, and joyful presence. All levels are welcome.
