Anna W - April 2025 Knowing Our True Nature: An Earth-Based Meditation Yoga Retreat

Bao L - Oct ‘26 Meeting Each Moment with Love: A QTBIPOC Retreat

Iris J - Oct ‘26 Meeting Each Moment with Love: A QTBIPOC Retreat
"The food was so thoughtfully prepared, and each meal was a food meditation in which I undeniably understood how in this bowl, I see the entire universe supporting my existence."

Participant - Sept ‘26 Shifting Our Sense of Being & Standing Firm with Earth Retreat

Participant - Sept ‘26 Shifting Our Sense of Being & Standing Firm with Earth Retreat
"[What I enjoyed most was] The easy flow back and forth between silence and speaking; lots of space and permission to practice in a non-rigid way; very safe container created by the teacher; lovely community of women."

Participant - Apr ‘26 Deep Rest & Renewal: A Women’s Meditation & Relational Mindfulness Retreat in Nature
"Thank you for all your care and labor in planning and managing this retreat. This is only the second retreat where I have done most of my practice outside, and I'm beginning to think it's the ideal way to practice!"

Kelly C - Oct ‘25 Heart Free as a Wild Deer: Meditation & Somatic Practice Retreat

Participant - April ‘25 Knowing Our True Nature: An Earth-Based Meditation Yoga Retreat
"I felt surrounded by loving and compassionate people the whole time and that we shared a strong sense of purpose! I felt held, safe, and supported by competent and caring staff and teachers."

Participant - May ‘24 Dharma of Nature Retreat
"The silence container and renouncing phones and technology had a tremendous impact in my inner peace and well-being. Thank you for this gift!"

Beatriz E - May 2024 Dharma of Nature Retreat
"I felt intense moments of clarity as we explored the link between mindfulness, somatic healing, and the natural world. Before the retreat these concepts felt inaccessible to me - I understood each of the words practically and I practiced each one individually to some degree - but by the time I left I *felt* the meaning of each one in my bones."

Participant - Sept ‘23 Healing with Nature Retreat
"I hope to return to this retreat every year to remind myself of what is important in life."

Participant - Sept ‘23 Healing with Nature Retreat
"I want to better serve others to connect to and resource themselves and the earth during this time of great ecological change (as Kirsten said, we are "earth sitting on earth"). And I am starting with myself, over and over. I want to be happy and peaceful. I want to know liberation. I want to be free."

Participant - June ‘23 Deepening Presence in Nature Retreat Participant
"I enjoyed that it was a silent retreat. It felt less awkward in general when we didn't have to fill the silence with chit chat. I felt more connected just being in the presence of those around me in the silence. "
