About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Our lineage, the land, and our connection to kin (human and more-than-human) are fundamental to our sense of belonging on this Earth. Ancestors of place, blood, and the collective all shape and inform our lives.

This residential retreat will be held during the liminal time of Samhain. A time when the veil between worlds is thin, the perfect opportunity to remember those who came before.

Over four days, we will weave together threads of land, systemic constellations, ritual, fires, and shared meals. The resulting tapestry will be woven into our hearts to carry forward into our lives.
