How do we find our way into flow again with the collective grief and growing disenchantment with the ways of the world permeate this moment on Earth?  Where can we go to remain or come alive again in such a world? This weekend retreat is for all who feel disenchanted with the brokenness of the world and long to regain wholeness in self and community. We will gather in nature to embrace our disenchantment and open to re-enchantment through the wonder, beauty, and mystery of the Earth. Join us by the riverside to study the art of flow and remember, even the softest stream can carve canyons. We will enter into rituals of grief, liberation, emergence, and initiation to create more wholeness in ourselves and our communities.  

We will be spending as much time outside together as possible at this wild retreat. Please be prepared for the elements. We will be utilizing mindfulness, creative, and somatic practices to help us honor our grief for the world, find our way back to a sense of wonder and wholeness, and be empowered to serve our community in the challenging times ahead. 

We will have time alone on the land to explore and connect with the wild mystery as well as time together in council to share our stories by the firelight. 

Our meals will be shared and prepared together. A sign-up list will go out to participants to sign up for a contribution to a meal. 

There is a $25 deposit to save your spot. We ask for a suggested donation of $100 (or beyond) to go toward the care and stewardship of the land. No one will be turned away for lack of ability to pay. Contact us if you need assistance. 

A link for payment will be sent out to confirm your attendance after interest filling out the form below.
