Tailored for both youth and adults, our programs aim to nurture holistic well-being and promote self-empowerment.

Mindfulness Retreats
The MahaBhakti Foundation integrates traditional and ancient healing modalities to support contemporary healthcare practices addressing the mental health crisis in Santa Cruz County and beyond.
We offer Connection, Empowerment, and Leadership retreats. These retreats are designed to address the specific needs of youth and adults, behavioral health clients, provider employees, and executive leaders within Santa Cruz County.
About Us
The Mahabhakti Foundation addresses our connection to ourselves and others as a basic need (just like food, clothing, or shelter) that often gets overlooked as we get caught up in our daily lives.
Meet Jozee and Cricket
Jozee and Cricket’s study of herbalism, music, and yoga as a way of life began years before they met in 1993. Both being avid students of conga drumming as a form of sound healing, their union was solidified through the drum spirit. Jozee and Cricket fell in love and embarked on their lifelong journey together, carefully designing their lifestyle to meet their own personal and spiritual needs. The MahaBhakti Foundation and the Naturally Mystic Experience retreats is an offering of the culmination of their 30 years together.
