A Mother’s Day Weekend Itinerary at MacArthur Place

This Mother’s Day, escape to the heart of Sonoma for a weekend of wellness, relaxation, and celebration. Whether you’re treating your mom, gathering with loved ones, or simply indulging in some well-deserved solo time, MacArthur Place offers the perfect setting for a soul-nourishing retreat surrounded by wine country charm. Here’s how to make the most of your stay:

Friday, May 8 | Ease Into the Weekend with a Wellness Workshop

Join us for a spacious spring morning designed to help you reset, reconnect, and realign. Through guided movement and mindful practices, we’ll tap into the clarity and vitality this season so naturally offers. This elevated half-day retreat invites you to pause from your daily routine and settle into the serene setting of MacArthur Place Hotel & Spa.
We’ll begin outdoors with a gentle morning light ritual and grounding practice, before moving indoors for an energizing, all-levels Vinyasa mobility flow with sculpting elements lead by Andrea Bogart. After light refreshments, Jodi McLean will guide us into deep rest with immersive sound healing — creating space to soften, integrate, and restore. At noon, enjoy a stroll through the blooming property before gathering poolside for a thoughtfully catered seasonal lunch by Layla at MacArthur Place. The afternoon continues with guided seasonal journaling — a moment to reflect, check in, and connect with what is quietly blooming within you — before closing in circle with shared intention.

Workshop attendance is $185 per person and includes Vinyasa Flow, Sound Bath, Journaling Sessions & Poolside Lunch. Open to guests and locals alike.
