Sumanas Retreat is a nonprofit center serving participants recently diagnosed with cancer, who are undergoing treatment and those who transit from active care to survivorship. The Retreat Center is located in Santa Barbara, California.
Our guesthouse is available year-round for you to relax, recover and renew. The house is comfortably furnished, and each guest room is lovingly set up to provide a nurturing environment. Here you can find peace of mind to make good choices for your recovery.
With abundant sunny days and an average year round temperature of 68 degrees F (18 degree C), there are places to enjoy the outdoors. The indoor/outdoor arts & crafts studio provides a playground for you and your creative resource, places to read and contemplate; walking in the mountains and by the ocean are easy to do. Cooler night time temperatures welcome you to curl up by the fire and read a book, or enjoy an inspiring film as you look forward to restful sleep.
The Retreat Center requires a minimum stay of one week; a week consists of 5 nights. The total length of stay is based on individual needs.
Our local beaches offer safe and serene places to walk. If you wish to venture out into the world, Santa Barbara and Montecito offers a wealth of shopping, dining, theater, music and educational events.
Along with the comforts of home we offer many inclusive services and amenities to support your retreat experience.

We believe in holistic education, the restorative power of accessing one's creative expression, the importance of re-evaluating life choices and accessing the deep abiding inner strength that dwells within.
