The Brain Health Retreat returns to California's central coast for a five-day immersion in brain health, connection, and renewal, led by neurologists Drs. Ayesha and Dean Sherzai. Set among the pines and dunes of the historic Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove, it blends science-backed workshops with guided coastal walks, yoga, group movement, and evening bonfires.
Every meal is chef-crafted and entirely plant-based — vibrant, whole-food dishes designed to nourish both body and brain, with recipes for guests to take home. Sessions explore how nutrition, movement, mindfulness, rest, and social connection support focus, clarity, and long-term cognitive health, and each guest leaves with a personalized plan.
Guest experts include registered dietitian and plant-based nutrition pioneer Brenda Davis, RD, and exercise physiologist Luca Pasquariello. Past participants have described it as "a family reunion for the mind."
The retreat is designed for anyone seeking to protect their brain, build healthier habits, and connect with a like-minded community on the Monterey Peninsula.
