Hummingbird Hill Retreat
In-Person & Online Day Events
Personal Growth & Spiritual Awakening
Hummingbird Hill is a spiritual and personal growth retreat in Rancho Santa Fe, California. A small haven atop a hill in San Diego's North County, it is a peaceful place of growing green and flowers frequently visited by hummingbirds. Events presented here are committed to emotional and spiritual health and wellbeing. Dr. Wendy Hill is the primary presenter and developer. Events focus on mindfulness, spiritual awakening, connection to True Self, inner child healing, hypnosis, regression therapy, past life regression, and authentic sharing.
Each retreat is a time set aside from ordinary life — a chance to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with what matters most. Guests arrive as strangers and often leave as a close-knit community, bonded by shared vulnerability and the safety Dr. Wendy creates. The setting itself does some of the work: quiet gardens, open sky, and the hummingbirds that give the retreat its name all invite a kind of stillness that's hard to find in daily life.
In her events, Dr. Wendy creates a secure and compassionate environment where you can feel safe to open up and learn on a deep level. Drawing on more than 50 years of experience in psychology and spiritual growth, she guides participants through new possibilities, meditation, hypnosis, and regression work designed to surface what's been buried — old wounds, forgotten parts of the self, patterns that no longer serve you. Nothing is forced. Every process is offered as an invitation, and participants move at their own pace.
Many who attend describe their experience as a turning point: a moment where an old story finally loosens its grip, or a long-held fear softens into something workable. Others come simply for the rest and renewal a time like this provides — a break from screens, schedules, and the noise of daily obligations. Both experiences are welcome here.
Whether you're new to this kind of inner work or have been on the path for years, Hummingbird Hill Retreat offers a rare combination: expert guidance from a seasoned therapist, a physically beautiful setting, and a small enough group where everyone is genuinely seen. Original music, woven throughout the day, adds another layer of emotional access — many guests find that sound reaches places words alone cannot.
If you've been searching for a spiritual retreat near Rancho Santa Fe that goes beyond a typical wellness day — one rooted in real clinical depth as well as genuine care — Hummingbird Hill was built for you.

About Wendy Hill, Ph.D.
Dr. Wendy has been working in the fields of psychotherapy, mindfulness, hypnotherapy, and spiritual awakening for over 50 years. As a therapist she offers processes that break through denial and fear and help you move into self-love and acceptance. She was one of the first to introduce inner child healing in the 70's and 80's when it was not accepted as a valid healing therapeutic tool. She has become a master of inner child healing.
Her book, The True Seeker's Guide to a Better Life, is a guide for all who want to understand and heal their inner child. Her book, Liberation, is a novel that allows the reader to witness the emotional and spiritual awakening that comes with inner child healing while being entertained by a compelling story. She has also written hundreds of articles and produced many videos on the subjects at hand. You can find her videos on YouTube. You can also listen to her trained vocals of original songs on this website.
Because of her vast experience she has become a mentor to many over the years. Her early training was in the work of Carl Jung and Carl Rogers, who was one of her mentors. She also received training from Milton Erickson who introduced hypnosis as a healing art to America. She also supports the work of Dr. Brian Weiss, Joseph Campbell and other humanistic practitioners that have contributed to our culture over the years.
