A Home Opened to Meaningful Gatherings

Set among the hills of Thousand Oaks, 808 Retreat was created as a place to step away from the pace of everyday life and make room for rest, reflection, and connection.

The property is the private home of a Qigong Master and meditation teacher, whose personal practice has become part of the spirit of the retreat.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Space Can Shape Experience

We believe the environment in which people gather matters.

A quiet morning practice, a shared meal, a meaningful conversation, or a moment watching the sunset can become part of the experience itself.

808 Retreat is simply a space for those moments to unfold.
