This year, we invite you to journey through the outer and inner seasons. Each retreat is an immersion into the wisdom of that time of year, offering embodied practices and soulful values to carry into daily life.

ROOTING is the winter encounter. It is a space of endings and beginnings, receptivity and reverence, resting in the dark, and trusting the quiet stirrings of change.
