Return To Your Roots: Fall Weekend Retreat

Join us for three days together in community on a beautiful forested property to nourish your body and soul in community, reconnect to your roots and the land, and come back home to yourself and your inner rhythms.

As the seasons change, we naturally start to turn inward to a time of deeper reflection and self-care after the busy days of summer.

Return to Your Roots is a community weekend gathering to recharge, reconnect, and deeply nourish within. Autumn is a season of harvest, which goes for not just the land, but for ourselves as well, and everything we've lived through since spring.

*What have you gathered this year?

• What's ready to be released?
  *What wants tending as you move into the autumn season?

Over this weekend together, we'll spend our days with nourishing practices, earth-based teachings, and time to simply reflect and restore together (cedar hot tub, anyone?!)

We’ll start our days with sweet morning practice of yoga and movement, mindfulness, and journaling, before enjoying breakfast together on the outdoor deck surrounded by forest and meadow.

On Sunday, we’ll have a breathwork journey towards the afternoon, and evenings will bring fire, nourishing meals, relaxing in the beautiful cedar hot tub under the moonlight,and time in community.

Rooted in the teachings of the Four Shields, we’ll spend time on the land exploring the four directions, the elements, and the aspects of self they represent - our inner child, adolescent, adult, and elder - to harvest the wisdom each part holds for us in this season of our lives alongside the teachings of the land.

There will be space for self-designed ceremony, sitting in council circle together, and soaking in the medicine of community and presence with one another. Most importantly, this will be an experience of reconnection - to yourself, to others, and to your innate belonging to the Earth and all of her elements.

I am looking forward to creating this beautiful space together to reconnect within, anchor in our roots as we enter into fall, and share deep connection and community on the land!
