The Well Rounded Retreat
May 21-25, 2026 Ojai, California
Join Victoria Larkins for a long weekend retreat of deep rest and restoration at a private residence in Ojai, California. This immersive experience is designed for Vedic Meditators to achieve deep rest and a full nervous system reboot through the practice of Rounding.
Rounding is a 4-part sequence of yoga, breathwork, meditation, and savasana that conditions our nervous system to experience stillness during activity. With morning guided rounds, daily vedic knowledge meetings, nourishing meals and evening sound baths, we’ll create the ideal conditions for the nervous system to unwind at the deepest level.
Practicing this technique over the course of one weekend nourishes our nervous system very thoroughly and is said to provide the equivalent stress release of 6 months of twice-daily meditation.
Enjoying 110 acres along the foothills of the Topanga Cyn Mountains, this secluded Spanish-style ranch is one of very few available for rent in the Ojai Valley. Spread between a massive 3-bedroom main house, a 4-bedroom guest house, and an inspiring art studio, this exclusive vacation rental has limitless space to wander, connect with nature, and enjoy the laid-back Ojai lifestyle. In celebration of its beautiful surroundings, this entire estate is serviced by a well.

what is rounding?
-
the technique
Rounding is a 4-part (asana–breath-meditation-savasana) sequence that prepares your mind and body for a profoundly deep meditation. On a Rounding Retreat, we do multiple daily rounds for transformational stress release & the stabilization of Being. Rounding on retreat provides the equivalent stress release of 6 months of twice-daily meditation.
-
prime your nervous system
To fully immerse yourself in the retreat experience, we highly recommend learning the Rounding technique beforehand. This sequence enhances the body’s ability to release stress, access deep rest, and stabilize Being in the field of activity. Everything is about sequence and stabilization. If your nervous system has been primed and established in rounding prior, you will be able to get to higher rounds on the retreat.
