A Day to Return, Reflect, and Root into What Matters Most
As the air turns crisp and the trees begin to shed what they no longer need, we’re invited into the sacred stillness of autumn—a season of release, reflection, and quiet transformation.
This one-day retreat offers a pause from the noise and urgency of everyday life—a space to root deeply in mindfulness, embodied presence, and connection to the living world.
Held on THE FOREST HOUSE land in Hampton, CT, the day unfolds gently—moving from silence and stillness, into creative reflection, and finally toward clarity and courageous presence.
Though we’ll gather in quiet, this is not a retreat from the world. It’s a way to return to ourselves so that we can return to the world—with care, compassion, and resilience.
This retreat is for you if:
You long for a sacred space to transition into autumn, to reflect and reset
Feeling overwhelmed by the state of the world—but not ready to give up on it
You seek meaningful practices to sustain you through uncertain times
You want to deepen your connection to the land, your breath, and your clarity
Seeking meaningful, embodied ways to reconnect to yourself and your community
Longing to balance mindfulness with creative expression and collective healing
Curious about what’s next for you—and ready to listen inward to find out
What the day includes:
Forest bathing with inspired meditations + mindful walking
Somatic movement and restorative silence
Journaling and intuitive creative exploration
Community connection + closing water blessing ritual
You’ll leave nourished, rooted, and renewed—carrying simple practices to guide you through the season ahead.
Join us as we walk gently together, creating space for quiet transformation and wise renewal—within ourselves and our shared world.
