KALLA, Calistoga
August 7th, 2026
Join us for a thoughtfully curated one-day retreat experience at Kalla in Calistoga, designed to offer a glimpse into the magic of MTHR’s highly sought-after retreats in a more accessible, intimate format. Just over an hour from Marin and San Francisco and 15 minutes from downtown Calistoga, the property feels secluded enough to truly get away—yet close enough to be effortlessly accessible.
At MTHR, we believe wellness should feel approachable. Our retreats are designed to leave room for fun, laughter and introspection, while thoughtfully bringing in trusted experts in women’s health and wellness every step of the way.
We created this day for the women craving connection, inspiration, rest, and a chance to step away from the noise of everyday life, even if just for a moment.
More than anything, this day is about creating space for meaningful conversation, genuine connection, and the feeling of being deeply cared for in the company of other incredible women.

Cacao Ceremony
led by Dr. Sahar Martinez
Led by Dr. Sahar Martinez, licensed marriage and family therapist and perinatal mental health specialist, this cacao ceremony invites attendees into a grounding ritual of reflection, connection, and heart-opening presence.
Through the intentional use of ceremonial cacao and guided conversation, Sahar will create space for guests to slow down and reconnect with themselves beyond the roles and responsibilities they carry each day. The experience is designed to support emotional openness, self-inquiry, and meaningful connection within the group.
Attendees will be guided through a thoughtful ceremony centered on presence and embodiment, leaving with a deeper sense of clarity, connection, and care for themselves in this season of motherhood.
Gua Sha Ritual with Wildling Beauty
Led by Gianna de la Torre, co-founder of Wildling, this hands-on facial ritual will guide attendees through the art of gua sha as a practice for beauty, circulation, tension release, and nervous system support.
Guests will learn approachable techniques they can bring into their daily lives, from how to properly use gua sha tools to the deeper intention behind the ritual itself. More than a skincare moment, this workshop is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with the body, and experience facial care as a form of restoration.
Attendees will leave with practical gua sha knowledge, a deeper understanding of Wildling’s approach to beauty and self-care, and their own Wildling tools and gifts to continue the ritual at home.
