About this Event
Homecoming - connecting to the heart of the land and your own wild heart
Join us for an afternoon of slowing down, breathing with the Earth, and remembering our place in the living world. This half-day retreat invites you to step out of the rush of daily life and into the spacious, healing rhythm of nature. Connect with a community of fellow travelers who also desire to slow down and (re)connect to what is whole, true, and grounded in presence. This gathering is offered at a sliding scale rate of $25 - $50 - pay what feels accessible for you.
What to Expect
- Gathering in Nature – We will meet outdoors, held by the beauty of the land.
- Council Circle – Share and listen in a heart-centered, respectful space where all voices are valued.
- Solo Time on the Land – Spend unhurried time alone, listening to your own heart and the wisdom of the Earth.
- Nourishment – Enjoy thoughtfully prepared snacks and a wildcrafted tea to support your afternoon.
What to Bring
- A comfortable chair or blanket to sit on
- A journal and pen for reflection
- Water bottle/cup for tea
- Layers of clothing for changing weather
- Anything else that will help you feel at ease outdoors (hat, shawl, cushion, etc.)
