This year, we invite you to journey through the five 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. Through creativity, ritual, stillness, and reflection, we will explore:

Endings and Beginnings – Receptivity and Reverence – What do you belong to, where are you rooted? – Sit spots – Finding your Bones – Rest and Surrender – Cocoons –Tending the soil, Sowing Seeds – Gestation in the Dark – a Silent Fast – Reflective Thinking – Non-doing –Trusting Change – Filling the Well
