Nature can be seen as the Great Mother who gives birth to the souls and bodies of all creatures, including us. This Deep Nature Immersion Retreat holds Nature at the center of our awareness, bringing us closer to our Wild Soul and Natural Self.

This Retreat introduces practices that elicit a felt sense of belonging to the Natural World and our interconnectedness with everything that is. We enter a liminal space where past, present and future come together, and we become aware of synchronicities as they happen in Nature and with Nature. We reclaim our ability to listen to Nature speaking the language of our bodies and souls.

The practices introduced foster intimate encounters with the Natural World, both solo and in group settings such as councils, rituals, and other creative explorations. The group field holds the transformative potential of these encounters, which bring forth new possibilities for each participant and the collective field.

We engage directly with different beings from the natural environment, recognize them in their personhood, and establish a generative dialogue with them.

Attuning to the primal cycle of the day beginning at dawn and retreating at dusk, we return to an ancestral knowing of being in resonance with life’s cycles and rhythms.

Experiencing with darkness, we immerse ourselves in a conscious state of being lost, allowing darkness to create openness and impregnate our souls with possibility.

We work with dreams, rituals, artwork, embodied and creative expressions as they spontaneously arise from the potent collective field in resonance with Nature, as ways of opening our awareness, bringing forth new insights, and tapping into unconscious patterns and conditionings.

The Retreat is centered around a felt sense of gratitude and reverence for our beautiful Mother Earth, and all that is still living and has always lived. The intimacy with Nature may also bring forth anxiety and despair about the future of our beautiful planet, and the grief for what has been lost and may be lost. We may feel disturbed by our own co-participation in the pain of the World.

As grief and hopelessness and anger may arise in the process, we will make space for it, practicing the courageous heart, to face the hard facts of our time.

The Group and Nature itself have the capacity to hold the beauty and the ugly in compassion long enough, for it is a necessary step towards renewal and the emergence of possibility.

Out of a very real sense of concern for our beautiful planet and a deep sense of commitment, gladness, and service may arise naturally, following the natural rhythms of destruction and creation.

The Nature Immersion Retreat is for anyone who desires to experience a deeply felt sense of belonging to Mother Earth and the larger community of all beings. While having the space and safety to hold the whole range of their experience in compassionate awareness.
