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.

SHOOTING is the Spring encounter. It is a time of feeling our vitality and inner sap rising, sensing into our potential and our soul’s calling, and learning how to listen to and manage our energies as we go out into the world. Through creativity, ritual, stillness, and reflection, we will explore:

Birthing Courage – Playful Mistakes – a Shrine to Innocence – Planting out the potager – Foraging – Cherishing – Natural Mandala – Plunge in the Gorge – Hearing your Soul’s Call – Opening to desire, risking Eros – Putting out Tendrils – Self-regulating and pacing – Exploring the sensual world: a meal, blindfolded!
