For more than sixty years, Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of North San Diego County into one of the most spectacular and coordinated displays of natural color and beauty anywhere in the world. The nearly fifty acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch in Carlsbad, California, are in bloom for approximately six to eight weeks each year - from early March through early May - literally bringing the famous fields back to life. This annual burst of color, which has become part of the area’s local heritage, also is one of nature’s official ways of announcing the arrival of spring here in Southern California.

Join us Sunday, April 18th, as we celebrate fresh beginnings the best way we know: with yoga, meditation, live music & pool hangs. Local wellness vendors will greet you at the historical Lafayette Hotel, as you then settle into an energetic power flow led by Laura Monk of Soulfish. Live tunes provided by the talented Mango Dass will add to the experience that culminates in a 15 minute meditation. All attendees are welcome to hang by the pool with a complimentary beverage, as well as enjoy 15% off brunch. We can't wait to celebrate what we know is going to be a beautiful season.
