- Testimonials from 2025 Retreat:
- "Liane and Andrea offered a magical and transformative space to explore my relationship with belonging. What made this space so special for me was the depth of trust, thoughtfulness, creativity, beauty and safety offered throughout the retreat.”
- "I would highly recommend this retreat for anyone curious about their family history and how it impacts the way they move through the world. Liane and Andrea did an incredible job facilitating and holding space. The location and surrounding nature were comfortable and inspiring.” Adam
- “During our time there was a strong wave of love, self-acceptance, and permission that started as communal and then felt personal too. Powerful medicine!” Kirstie

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.
