November 8-13, 2025
Join Patti & Susan for a five night, six day rounding retreat on the beautiful
Baja coast.
Prana del Mar is a serene eco-resort located between Cabo San Lucas and Todos Santos. Nestled away from city lights and civilization, Prana del Mar offers a remote and private getaway surrounded by golden sand beaches, the soothing sound of the pacific ocean and the mesmerizing desert sky.
During this retreat, we will immerse ourselves in the advanced technique of ‘Rounding’.
A ‘Round’ involves a specific sequence of yoga postures and breath technique followed by meditation and a restorative lie down.
When practiced repeatedly in a retreat setting and under the guidance of a trained Vedic Meditation Initiator, meditators access deep states of rest facilitating the release of accumulated stress beyond what is typically experienced in a home practice.
We invite you to join us for this slow paced week of nourishment surrounded by the beauty of nature, a welcoming community of meditators and delicious farm-to-table vegetarian meals. Through the profound practices we will share, you’ll gently release layers of stress—equivalent to six months or more—in just a few transformative days. You will leave feeling vibrant, re-energized, and deeply inspired, ready to embrace the next chapter of life with a renewed sense of clarity, purpose, and joy.

Rounding Retreat
with
Susan Chen & Patti Quintero
WHAT IS ROUNDING?
Known as “industrial strength meditation,” Rounding is an enjoyable practice that prepares your mind and body for a profoundly deep meditation.
A ‘Round’ is a specific sequence of the following relaxing activities:
10 minutes of gentle asanas (stretches that anyone can do)
5 minutes of an easy breathing exercise
20 minutes of Vedic Meditation
10 minutes of lying down rest
On a Rounding Retreat, we perform multiple Vedic Rounding sequences in a day for transformational stress release.
Rounding on retreat provides the equivalent stress release of 6 months of twice-daily meditation.
Words from our students…
Susan and Patti’s rounding retreat was one of the most beautiful and deeply transformative experiences I’ve had. They created such a safe and supportive environment for us to go deep into meditation and relaxation, and to unwind all the stresses we accumulate in our day to day life. I left retreat feeling like I had come home to myself and like I could handle anything that life throws my way. I have such deep gratitude for these incredible teachers and I can’t wait to attend more of their retreats in the future! ~ Whitney D.
This Topanga rounding retreat was simply amazing. The setting, food, and most importantly, the meditators and our teachers, Susan and Patti. The amount of love circulating amongst the group was incredibly powerful...allowing us to feel safe and to be able to let go of a lot of accumulated stress. We all formed an amazing bond of trust and support. I can say, truly a magical experience. ~ Win L.
Susan and Patti share the Vedic Meditation tradition with so much integrity and love. It was an honor to retreat with them in Topanga Canyon for their fall retreat. The Wisdom talks and communal meals were some of my favorite. Along with hearing the constant gentle reminder that bliss is my baseline. With so much rest and de-stressing, I was actually starting to feel it! I think we all were. There was one point we couldn’t stop giggling. Bliss was overflowing ✨ Thank you Susan and Patti! And everyone else that made this retreat possible.
