Upcoming Schedule
2025 Autumn Retreat
At Timberlake Earth Sanctuary
November 20-22
(Thursday-Saturday)
Focusing on Ancestors, Grieftending Practices, Death and Dying Culture and the wild harvest
Join a transformative three-day ceremonial retreat to focus on community grief tending, ancestral wisdom, and deep nature connection.
In the Autumn Retreat, we will hold a ritual space for disruption, loss, and community resilience. As the world faces immense challenges— wars, political strife—this ceremonial retreat is a sanctuary where we can tend to personal grief and practice the sacred art of holding space for one another.
Grief tending is a pathway to greater aliveness. Each person's experience brings new life to the community. With group ritual, heart shares, illuminated music, outdoor fires and beautiful altars, we co-create a ceremonial experience. Together, we will meet the many faces of grief, engage with the full spectrum of human experience and find deeper presence in the midst of chaos.
This retreat is dedicated to helping us work with strong currents of emotion and to rediscover the healing power of ritual, emergent wisdom, and the medicine of music. In times like these, we are remembering how to come together to tend what is sacred. Together, we will let our voices resonate with the earth, and touch the places in the world where they are most needed.
