Soul Rhythms Retreat Days
Living & Learning with the Seasons
“I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out til sundown, for going out, I found was really going in.”
Four Seasons. Four Retreat Days.
How do we craft a life that not only sustains us through challenging seasons but also helps us live in attunement to our most sacred values?
Join us for Soul Rhythms, a full year experience that will guide you through an exploration of the natural seasons, rhythms, and cycles of the earth, while helping you pay attention to your soul.
Using experiential exercises, contemplative practices, poetry, collaborative discussion, and connection with the natural world, we’ll explore essential themes that bring meaning to our life.
Learn how this ancient wisdom can help you connect with that which is deepest within through developing core routines and practices based on the wisdom of nature.
Each session is a stand-alone experience, but all four retreats together are encouraged. You are able to register for as many as you are interested in and able, or commit to participating in all four.
