Rewilding Retreat: A Return to the Sacred Wild
What to Expect
Cradled by ancient forests and the luminous presence of Mount Shasta, this members only retreat is an invitation to return to the earth beneath your feet, to the quiet wisdom of your body, and to the wild, remembering soul within you.
Over unhurried days, we slow our pace and listen for what has always been speaking. Through mindful rituals, immersion in crystal-fed mountain waters, and connection with community, you are invited back into right relationship with the living world. Guided foraging walks and grounding ceremonies awaken the senses, soften the edges, and re-attune you to nature’s original rhythms.
This is not simply a retreat, it is a homecoming. A sacred pause where professionals and wellness seekers alike step out of the noise of modern life and into something ancient, expansive, and quietly alive.❋ SLOWER PACEUnstructured time woven with guided experiences, allowing space to rest, reflect, and reconnect.
