USA TODAY 10BEST Awards Nominees
Best Yoga Retreat Center & Best Meditation Center
For nearly five decades, Mount Madonna has served as a sanctuary for peace seekers—a place to rest, reflect, and reconnect with self and community. Nestled in the redwoods and grasslands on the unceded lands of the Ohlone peoples, and the Esselen People before them, Mount Madonna offers space for spiritual practice, personal transformation, and collective growth. Inspired by the living example of master yogi Baba Hari Dass, and shaped by the many who have studied, served, practiced, and played here, Mount Madonna continues to grow as a vibrant home for those seeking connection, transformation, and intentional retreat to source.
These nominations are a reflection of the generations of teachers, students, volunteers, and guests who have walked this land and contributed to its unfolding story.
Voting is now open and will remain live through Monday, June 30 at 11:59am EDT! You may vote once per day in each category. The final rankings will be announced on Wednesday, July 9!
We invite you to support Mount Madonna by casting your vote and sharing with others who also value spaces dedicated to peace, community, and spiritual practice.
With gratitude for your continued support,
– The Mount Madonna Marketing & Communications Team
