This retreat offered a rare gift: a peaceful pause in a chaotic, volatile world. In the quiet, we found space for discernment, connection with nature’s gifts, and the deep belonging of community. The day was both gentle and transformational — inviting us to notice our cycles of contraction and expansion, to embody peace, and to carry home seeds of fierce love, trust in life’s rhythms, and hope for the future. It was a warm and welcoming space that opened us to new ways of seeing ourselves, each other, and the natural world.

This retreat is rooted in the teachings of relational healing and collective belonging to guide you through gentle silence, intuitive movement, creative reflection, and sacred community connection. Together, we’ll explore how to meet both our inner world and our outer reality with presence, compassion, and moral clarity.

“This retreat was transformational. The quiet can be challenging — silence is not always easy — but it gave me the space to discern, to rest, and to hear what is seldom heard in the busyness of the world. What I took home was not just peace, but also ideas for how I can live more whole and aligned with my true self.”
