The Setting

A restored Italian villa in the Malibu hills

Our Malibu circle gathers at a private estate above the coast. An Italian villa on 51 secluded acres, with the Pacific on one side and the Santa Monica Mountains on the other. Grief asks for a place that can hold it, somewhere beautiful and quiet and entirely your own, and this is that place.

The story of this place

For a long time this was ranchland, a wild stretch of the Malibu hills once known as Rancho Del Sol Pacifico. In 1997 a family took it on and poured decades of care into it, planting award-winning Cabernet vineyards and raising more than a hundred Andalusian horses in its stables, until the whole hillside was a working estate humming with life.

In November 2018, the Malibu Canyon fires swept through and took much of it. The winery and many of the horses were among the losses. What stands here now is what came after: new stewards who spent years, and more than a million dollars, coaxing the gardens back and rebuilding the villa into the place you see today.

There is something quietly fitting about grieving here, in a place that was lost and lovingly remade. It is where our very first retreat was held, and it is where this circle gathers again.
