CALIFORNIA HOT SPRINGS, Calif., Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vedanta Spiritual and Holistic Retreat, an established 501(c)(3) non-profit sanctuary set across 240 acres of preserved foothills in the southern Sierra Nevada, today announced its formal organizational rebrand to Still Mountain Wellness Retreat (DBA).
The transition reflects the sanctuary's continuing evolution toward authentic classical pranayama, immersive silent contemplation, and restorative residential programs held within protected native ecosystems. Operating under the guiding ethos "Where Breath meets the Nature," Still Mountain provides an unhurried mountain refuge designed to help individuals step back from digital sensory overload, reduce deep nervous system exhaustion, and re-establish natural circadian balance.
