A destination retreat for the precious unfolding of your Wild Soul. 

For many of us, the journey of awakening begins with a simple longing – a longing to reconnect with something greater than ourselves. It’s a call that beckons us to venture beyond the confines of our everyday existence and immerse ourselves in the wild beauty of the natural world, a world that awakens our senses, nourishes our bodies, soothes our souls, and ignites our sense of wonder and awe.  In the embrace of nature, we are reminded of our place in the web of life – of our interconnectedness with all living things. We remember who we truly are.

Nature is calling you Home.

Join us on a week long immersive journey of awakening. A journey from your head into our heart, that invites you to be fully wrapped up in nourishment, healing and love. 

An invitation to slow down, attune to nature’s cycles and rhythms, reconnect to your creativity, your joy, and what makes you feel alive. A space to soften, open, and get to know yourself on levels maybe you never thought possible.

Our time together will be infused with a blend of yoga, meditation, breathwork, sound therapy, dance, creative arts, and other earth-based practices designed to harmonize the physical, emotional, and energetic bodies. Sacred rituals, ceremonies, and celebrations to inspire you, nourish you, and awaken your true, wild, authentic self. Each day is specifically curated to offer you rich experiences, personal insight, and supportive integration techniques for you to take with you and infuse into your everyday living. 

 Playful and deep moments will be spent connecting in community and sharing conversation, stories, laughter and tears. Sacred space to gather, witness each other, learn from each other, and help each other grow. Personal moments for each one of us, a life circle shared between all of us.

Healing in Community. 

A powerful portal of change for anyone craving to reconnect to the sacredness of their life.

We have a great responsibility here on this planet, and we are being called to soften, to embrace, to love, to nurture, to rise, to spark, to remember, and to return Home.

Do you hear the Call?
