About this trip

Join us this fall in the coastal redwoods of Mendocino, California for 4 days of nature medicine, ceremony, intuitive flow yoga, ecstatic dance, reverence, ritual and renewal under the Dark Moon.

Release, Renew & Re-awaken

Every time I immerse myself in nature and surrender to her wisdom, I come back home to myself and who I am. It’s a remembering. Over the past several years, I’ve found myself called again and again to the coastal redwoods of Mendocino. These woods are magic and have held some deep healing for me during times of change, uncertainty, grief, as well as supporting the celebration of new beginnings. The seasons of life hold it all.

Join us this fall in the coastal redwoods of Mendocino, California for 4 days of nature medicine, ceremony, intuitive flow yoga, ecstatic dance, reverence, ritual and renewal under the Dark Moon.

Descend Into The Underworld

As the Wheel of the Year turns, we are reminded not only of the cycles of change inherent in the seasons of life but also of our sacred place in the greater tapestry of the whole.

For our annual retreat into the redwoods, we gather under the mystical Dark Moon portal of Samhain.

Within earth based spiritual traditions, Samhain is one of the cross-quarter fire festivals that marks the midway point between the harvest of the Fall Equinox and Winter Solstice. This time of the year invites us to trust in the wisdom held in the shadow and explore what lies beyond the veil. 

Guided by myths of the underworld and the Dark Goddess, the spirits of the land, and our ancestors, we’ll explore rituals and embodied meditations designed to help us embrace and connect with this season of shedding, release and letting go. As the veils thin, we are invited to remember what has been hidden, forgotten, and reclaim the wisdom held in cycles of change, death and rebirth. These are the feminine mysteries of ritual & renewal.
