ECOLOGY OF CONNECTION: April 24 - 28, 2024

Our cornerstone course, this five day journey is foundational to all of our programs and includes core processes and practices that make up our unique theory of change. By coming together in community and engaging in mutually reflective encounters with the land and with each other, we will create a vibrant ecology that invites us to embody our true inheritance—intimately connected to ourselves, each other, the Earth and the greater mystery. To Learn more and apply, please visit the Ecology of Connection program page.

AWAKENING WILDERNESS FAST

A ten-day journey offering transformation, healing and insight, that centers on a three-day solo immersion in beautifully bio-diverse Mojave National Preserve. The wilderness fast is a ritual to mark and empower where we are in our lives in order to more fully usher in our own deepest creativity.

This journey has unlocked my heart and sent my soul singing. I’ve been able to place my singular story in the context of the larger unfolding of the village, the earth, the dance of the universe expressing itself. EOA is a container masterfully woven from the heart’s own sinews. It is a vital journey to take, do not skip it!
