In the forest I go to quiet my mind and awaken my soul.

This group retreat will be limited to a maximum number of 10 participants. Reserve your spot today!
In a world struggling with ecological and social crises, it is natural to feel overwhelm, despair, and isolation. This 2-day outdoor retreat offers rich soil for nourishing your inner calling, deepening understanding of self-and social-awareness, and going forth with purpose. This retreat is especially for those who feel called to be of service to a greater vision for our collective humanity and for the planet Earth.
You are invited to join this inclusive space for artists, healers, activists, educators, and anyone who yearns to contribute to imagining and bringing forth a more beautiful world.
Rooted in the work of Joanna Macy, activities throughout this retreat will weave crucial insights from mindfulness, sustainability, and social justice. Throughout the retreat, we will pull from horse wisdom and the many sources of inspiration in nature to co-weave a more cooperative and compelling way forward.
TBD — Coming in Spring 2027!
A vegetarian lunch will be provided.
To honor the intimacy of this work, this retreat will have a maximum of 12 participants.
