The Coast Ridge micro-farm & gardens overlooking the pacific ocean are at the heart of our educational & immersive experience. They serve as inspiration for what is possible through principles of permaculture, stewardship, sustainable & regenerative practices. In stewarding the land with these principles, we are reminded of the deep connection between ourselves, the land which sustains us & the positive impact our daily choices can make. It was with this intention the founders of The Coast Ridge created the life expanding offering of The 4 Day Reboot program; bringing together elements of movement in nature, daily self care rituals and the importance of nourishing with plant based local organic farm fresh produce; all the while exploring the connection between stewardship of self and planet. Through experiencing the elements of the program, the understanding becomes more than theory; it’s an ‘aha moment!’ for many of our guests and catalyst to change.
Yarrow Schley
Co-FOUNDER
Yarrow has devoted his life to exploring the restorative power of nature. Born in California’s Eastern Sierras, his childhood summers in the backcountry fostered a deep, lasting connection to the healing rhythms of the natural world.
While growing up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, he discovered yoga and contemplative practices that shaped his understanding of movement as meditation and regeneration through nature. Influenced by his parents’ love of the land and gardening, his curiosity led him to sustainable living and eventually to permaculture—a design philosophy that mirrors the self-sustaining patterns of natural ecosystems.
This path took Yarrow to Brazil, where he lived for ten years and co-founded OPA, an NGO focused on ecological sustainability and community resilience. The work deepened his joy in guiding others and solidified a core belief that continues to guide his work: the well-being of people and the health of the planet are deeply intertwined.
Returning to California, Yarrow and Angela created The Coast Ridge, inspired by a shared passion for movement in nature, land stewardship, and farm-to-table living. This immersive lifestyle experience invites guests to reconnect with nature, regenerate body and mind, and rediscover the essential link between how our food is grown, our personal vitality, and the health of the planet.
