TRAVEL INFORMATION
If you stay at the Acqua Hotel, on the water at the base of Mount Tamalpais in Mill Valley, CA, where the retreat will be hosted, you can enjoy a full gourmet breakfast buffet and evening wine and cheese out by the water. Hotel guests have access to free bicycles that you can ride on the bike path around Richardson Bay.
Coffee and tea will be provided for all retreat guests, but meals are not included. Several wonderful restaurants, including a sushi bar and an Italian restaurant are a brief walk or drive from the venue.
Many flights fly directly into SFO. If you fly into SFO, the Marin Airporter can drop you at the Manzanita stop in Mill Valley, where the bus driver can call you a cab or you can Uber less than a mile from the luxury airporter. You can also fly into the Oakland airport, but there is no direct airport shuttle from Oakland to Mill Valley.
You can, however, fly to Oakland and rent a car or take an Uber. You're also welcome to rent a car from SFO if you want wheels. You'll have free parking at the Acqua Hotel if you're coming to the retreat, whether you're staying there or not. So if you prefer to stay in an Airbnb, another hotel, or with friends, you're welcome to do so.
If you wish to extend your visit, you'll be within an hour drive of Napa Valley and Sonoma County wine country. You'll be a short Uber to the ferry to go into San Francisco. You can Uber to the Angel Island ferry if you want to walk or bike around the scenic island off the coast of Tiburon. Or you can Uber into Sausalito to walk along the San Francisco Bay.
