The Weekend Reset
with Schuyler Grant and Scott Schwenk
September 27-29, 2019
Topanga, CA
Need a reset?
With the constant barrage of things needing your attention, how do you get away and get back to your center? How do you rejuvenate, restore, and reconnect with the real you?
Join Schuyler Grant and Scott Schwenk at our private campus in the Santa Monica mountains for a weekend full of yoga, breath, movement, and personal nourishment with fellow students and seekers. It’s the perfect chance to get away, connect to what matters, and refill your vessel.
You’ll be spending your days partially in practice but with a good amount of personal time to really let the practices sink in and take effect. There will be guided hikes through mountain trails and organic meals prepared by our private chef. You can lounge on one of the sundecks, feel free to jump in the jacuzzi or sauna and follow it up with a rinse in the natural rain shower.
Scott and Schuyler lead different, but divinely complementary classes. The breath and the movement of prana is the through line — and taken together these classes will have a profound effect on practitioners. You could see breathwork, meditation and asana as the holy trinity of shift.
In the ancient process of dying cloth, the cloth is soaked many times in the dye to bring forth the chosen hue to the desired intensity. Retreat is a special circumstance where the ordinary pulls and distractions of work-a-day life are sweet aside to go inward, to enter the source of renewal, inspiration, creativity, and healing. Join us.

About the Property
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. Whether around the long dinner table or in the yoga studio, on the floor of the tea house or in the countless nooks and epic perches throughout the property, Commune Topanga is a place to do just that: commune. We commune with a higher spirit, we commune with nature, and, most importantly, we commune with each other.
