Former Hollywood Actress and, today, a Globally renowned Relationship Expert, Author, Love Guru, Media Therapist and Lecturer, Dr. Ava Cadell has opened “The Loveology Retreat,” a visually stunning and awe-inspiring “Magical Property” in Maricopa, CA, about a two hour drive north of Los Angeles. Since 2000, the site served as the Pine Mountain Buddhist Temple Retreat. The new Loveology Retreat represents a real-life, in-person extension of Dr. Ava’s long-popular, online program Loveology University®. “I’d like the Hollywood production community to keep my new retreat in mind as an ideal desert and mountain filming location for any project that requires a great deal of land, wide-open spaces, and a magnificent, star-filled, nighttime sky,” Cadell suggests.

For the past two decades, Dr. Ava’s mission has been to promote the benefits of healthy relationships, emotional intimacy and physical, mental, spiritual, emotional and sexual wellness to students worldwide. She has presented seminars both in-person and online – spreading a positive message of spirituality, happiness and love.
As a Hollywood Actress, Ava Cadell worked steadily in films, TV series and home video releases for more than 40 years (1974-2015). She appeared in such feature films as History of the World, Part 1, Smokey and the Bandit, Part 3, Commando, and The Jerk, Too; and in such TV series as Hotel, The Fall Guy, Matt Houston, Dallas, The New Mike Hammer, The Love boat, Perfect Strangers, and Gigi Does It. During the mid-1980’s, she was the hostess of a popular film review series on The Playboy Channel called Pillow Previews. Please see: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0128128/
Well-known for Zen Meditation in the Ventura County Mountains of Southern California, the former residents of the Loveology Retreat property were two Buddhist Monks who previously had opened their home to the outside world for Buddhist Teachings, Meditation Workshops and Buddhist Festivals. Said Dr. Ava, “As soon as I met those two Monks, I felt an immediate mind, body and soul connection. When they shared their desire to move to a smaller place, I knew that this magnificent desert land, with its mountains and an abundance of trees, flowers and Buddha statues, would make an ideal location for my Loveology Retreat!”
She adds, “It has always been my dream to own and operate a retreat where I can deliver my seminars to students, couples, families, widows and widowers, instructing and empowering them to learn how best to live and love.” In addition, this retreat can also serve as an ideal setting for weddings and other family and couples-friendly events.”
Dr. Cadell and the Loveology Retreat will offer clients One Special Program on-site each month. The first of these, entitled “Boosting Your Passion, Love and Happiness,” will be held October 14-16. In addition to Dr. Ava, Guest Speakers will include: Dr. Shannon Chavez, who will teach how to attain emotional intimacy with your partner and how to build awareness surrounding romance and passion; Dr. Hernando Chaves, who will offer new ways to explore and enhance sensual pleasure; Sabrina Jackson, who will demonstrate how to use sensual movement as a path to erotic empowerment and a method to heal trauma; and Ram Kirin, who will teach Kundalini Yoga, meditation and breathwork and will present a “sound bath” by the massive, on-site Stupa.

Yoga & Meditation
For decades, Dr. Ava has worked tirelessly to help her clients rejuvenate their lives. As she explains: Self-care is the first step to rejuvenation, so the new retreat has been designed to reward clients with rejuvenating activities and services to help them refine their focus, restore their spirits and reward their hearts. The Loveology Retreat teaches clients empowerment practices in a peaceful setting on their journeys to becoming regular practitioners of Meditation. Says Dr. Ava, “In a world that is constantly defined by the hustle and bustle of life in the digital age, the art of learning Mindfulness is a foundational practice in turning inwards to help learn to love, heal and find peace of mind.”
Dr. Ava’s Sexycises by Sexperts: Yin Yang Yoga for Intimacy Program hosts a potent opportunity to awaken the masculine & feminine energies within and around everyone to cultivate healthier intimacy within ourselves and others. “We all know that yoga is good for fitness, balance, strength and flexibility,” says Dr. Ava. “But did you know that partner yoga can boost intimacy? My Yin Yang Yoga is based on the belief that synchronizing energy exchange creates a sensual bond of trust that can take a relationship to a higher level of intimacy.”
“In addition, our Restorative Yoga Program teaches one how to relax their body with gentle stretching, such as child’s pose. As the human body surrenders to a state of relaxation, one’s mind can consciously relax as well, thus releasing stress from both mind and body simultaneously,” she adds.
The Loveology Retreat offers Nine Forms of Meditation designed by Dr. Ava: Alphabet; Overcoming Coronavirus; Loving Kindness; Goal Manifestation; Forgiveness; Replacing Negative Thoughts & Habits, Reparenting Yourself; Embracing Aging, and Creating Balance.

Other Loveology Retreat Features & Amenities:
The Loveology Retreat offers three different hiking trails for clients to enjoy – these range from half-a-mile to three-miles long and are called: Compassion Trail, Faith Trail and Peace Hiking Trail. In addition, horseback riding can be made available upon request.
The Loveology Retreat also features an 11-foot-tall Stupa, which was constructed on the site by monks so that all beings may attain enlightenment. Stupas are placed on a square base, and the four sides represent the four directions: North, South, East and West. At the top of Stupa is a Spire, which symbolizes a line through the earth’s center around which the Universe is thought to revolve. This magnificent Stupa is the perfect place for Loveology Retreat clients to watch the sunrise and for stargazing – a beautiful experience which can be enjoyed alone, as a romantic couples adventure, or one through which the whole family can connect and spend quality time together.
Other amenities featured at the Lovelogy Retreat include: Two on-site buildings for lodging – the Lama House, which has a large bedroom with four beds, perfect for a family or group of friends, and the Chakra House, which features four bedrooms and can sleep up to 10 people; along with the Buddha Café, where breakfast, lunch, high tea and dinner are included in all retreats, and where meals can be customized for vegetarian, vegan or gluten free preferences – with offerings including all forms of meats and vegetables, sandwiches, pizza, BBQ, salads and desserts. In addition, four state-of-the-art campers are available for rent during one’s stay at the retreat: the Lily Camper, the Lavender Camper, the Bluebell Camper and the Poppy Camper.

About THE LOVEOLOGY RETREAT
Situated on 45 acres in unincorporated Ventura County in Maricopa, California, Dr. Ava Cadell’s incredible Loveology Retreat – launched in Fall 2022 – features hiking trails, gardens, a Koi pond, star-gazing, swimming, and so much more, all with 360-degree views abounding.

The spiritual energy manifested and left behind by the two monks who resided on the site for 20 years remains and can palpably be felt by visitors. This peaceful feeling truly complements and enriches the natural beauty of the entire property.
Dr. Ava’s renovations on-site have included the addition of a huge, above-ground swimming pool; turning a large shed into a recreation room with a gym for adults and games for toddlers, kids, teens, that include chess, backgammon, wall scrabble, basketball, and table foosball; a children’s playground with swings and a trampoline; a putting green; and an obstacle course designed for young children.
