Brain Health Retreat 2026
With Drs. Ayesha and Dean Sherzai, Luca Pasquariello and Brenda Davis, RD
September 28 - October 2, 2026
A 5-day journey through science, nature, and community, led by neurologists Drs. Ayesha and Dean Sherzai, and other world-class health experts.
After a sold-out 2025 retreat, we return with a new location and an expanded experience.
Join Drs. Ayesha and Dean Sherzai on California’s central coast for a transformative five-day immersion in brain health, connection, and renewal.
Set among the pines and dunes of Pacific Grove’s historic Asilomar retreat center, The Brain Health Retreat 2026 combines science and serenity.
Through nutrition, movement, mindfulness, rest, and social connection, you’ll learn how small, joyful lifestyle changes can rewire your brain for clarity and longevity.
