Tell me more!
-
As you prepare for the weekend, take time to reflect on what you’d like to shift, release, or invite into your life. Bring that intention with you as we gather in community and create space for insight.
Our time together is rooted in a few shared values:
We honor each person’s unique beliefs and welcome you to connect with Mother Earth and Source Consciousness in whatever way feels meaningful to you.
We welcome people of all backgrounds.
Some meditations may take place sitting or lying on the ground. Feel free to bring your favorite mat, blanket, or cushion to help you feel comfortable and supported.
-
Meals include Saturday lunch through Sunday lunch. We’re happy to accommodate dietary needs and food preferences whenever possible. The following is a sample of the meals we’ll be sharing, with a full menu to come as the event date approaches.
Saturday Morning: Refreshments
Saturday Lunch: Catered by Pellegrino’s Italian Kitchen
Saturday Dinner: Salmon dinner with a salad bar
Sunday Breakfast: Quiche and oatmeal bar
Sunday Lunch: Catered by Occasions Catering

While we have a schedule, it is an outline that may evolve. All activities are voluntary.
In the warmth of community, the beauty of nature, and the sacred space we create together, we begin to remember what it feels like to be truly present. This is an invitation to pause, step away from the familiar rhythms of daily life, and spend a weekend devoted to connection, reflection, and guided inner work. Bring an intention for something you wish to shift, release, or invite into your life. Through intentional practices, ceremony, and shared meals, we’ll gather together to support one another.
