“Wow, my heart is exploding from all the connection this past weekend brought. Thank you to everyone who showed up and shared their hearts in such a generous way, and for the outpouring of love on this thread. I’ve been in tears reading everyone’s memories from the weekend. What an honor it was to create the container we all needed to play and connect safely in.”
A Special Space
Feel instantly at home as we gather under the soothing whisper of the wind flowing through the wise palm trees of Two Bunch Palms in Desert Hot Springs, California. Immerse yourself in natural hot springs that flow from the earth to rejuvenate you. Be wrapped in the warmth of the desert nights and take in the beauty of the mountains at dusk meeting the starry skies. The cottages, rooms, and suites are inviting spaces for you to rest and energize. The Yearn takes over all of Two Bunch Palms for a blank canvas to explore, wonder, wander, dance, and be creative with abandon.
Play with Purpose
The core of the Yearn is joy. We believe that play opens our hearts and creates strong bonds – experience shared joy within yourself and others through laughter, connection, and expression on a deeper level with others who yearn. Everything you need is provided: uniquely crafted meals, special libations, workshops, performances, musicians and DJs, workshops, and new experiences to ignite your inner light. The Yearn is your canvas.
Embrace Serendipity
Experience coincidence and unexpected (but meant to be) connections that expand your horizons and give you just what you didn’t know you needed. Conversations that inspire, hugs that revive, laughter that releases, dancing that emboldens, smiles that invite, people that become community, and a you that grows more into who you are meant to be.
Curated for Connection
Who yearns with us? Invited guests who fall everywhere between the conscious curious and beyond. From founders and artists to non-profit leaders and facilitators – we all share a common thread: an aspiration to live purposefully.
