For our July Retreat, we will be staying at a brand new remodeled beach house along Beach Drive in Seaside, only 100 feet to the beach and the historic 1920's Promenade, stretching for 2 miles.

The week's meals will be catered by local gourmet Chef and owner of EVOO Cooking School, in Cannon Beach, Chef Bob Neroni and his wife Lenore. His menu focus and specialty is on organic and locally grown nutritious NW food ingredients and artisan products. The "farm to table" philosophy is embraced by Chef Bob. Seafood, poultry and vegetarian dishes will be highlighted. Vegetarians are welcome! After personally taking part in numerous Retreat meals and "evening outs" at his Cooking School, his creations are a "taste to behold".
This Retreat is open to 12 women. Register early for savings and to assure your place in this fun filled Retreat!
You'll learn a Vinyasa (flow yoga practice) daily during our morning beach yoga, which will allow you to continue your practice after the Retreat. Our daily surf camps will be held at several locations over the week to provide participants an in-depth and personal understanding of the diverse surfing conditions on Oregon's beaches. Our highly qualified Certified Lifeguard Instructors will provide a safe, progressive and dynamic teaching environment for you. We'll work with students to develop their skills at the pace in which they grasp them. Our enthusiasm for your success is mutually shared between us!
Bus transportation daily from the beach house to our chosen beach location is provided. Because of the close and convenient location of our lodgings to the beach and Downtown, you can park your car for the Retreat and not have to go into busy summer traffic. We recommend you bring your bicycle to enjoy rides about the area. There are bicycle rental shops, if you decide not to bring your own bike and would like to rent one.
Be treated to an amazing and relaxing hour long massage with local masseuses, Jody Herring and Carol Mathre, from Seaside Spa and Wellness Center. Select your time for massage upon your arrival.
Evening activities include a Live Dinner Show at the renown EVOO Cooking School in Cannon Beach, Beach Dance with Playful Spirit Dancer and Life Coach, Lisa Evans, a group walk on the Promenade to Broadway for fun at the Arcade, nostalgic Bumper Cars and Tilt-a-Whirl rides, a Longboard Skateboard demo and instruction with our surf instructor, Dennis Braun, and the last night's bonfire on beach with talented local musician, Jason Lambert.
All wetsuit, wetsuit parts, Gath helmet and surfboard equipment is included and will be "custom fitted" on the first day of the Retreat. NWWSC also provides rescue tubes, a rescue surfboard and complete first aid kit at each day's camp, in case of an emergency.
A NWWSC Zippered Hooded Sweatshirt and Partner's Gift Bag of gifts, discounts and goodies are yours as souvenirs of the Week's Retreats! "Remember a Retreat is a "Treat" you give yourself!"
I am honored to be partnering with an amazing group of talented individuals during this year's Retreats. Meet our wonderful surf instructors on our site's About Us page
