A Gathering of Eco-Spiritual Practitioners: Deepening Kinship & Sharing Wild Wisdom
September 18–21, 2025
On Land Retreats, the Natural World
Program Start Date & Time: September 18th | 5:00pm
Program End Date & Time: September 21st | 1:30 pm
Gather in the spirit of the autumnal season to joyfully nourish and celebrate your wildest, wisest self within a supportive community of fellow eco-spiritual practitioners and those interested in deepening connections with our oldest kin and teacher, Nature.
Guided by ecopsychology, animism, and nature-based ritual, we will rekindle our reciprocity and kinship between humans and the more-than-human world. This joyful retreat experience offers space for replenishment while also growing personal and professional ecopsychological skills.
You’ll be invited to spend spacious solo time on the land and simply enjoy noticing the world within and around you. We will engage in diverse contemplative wisdom and creative practices, including community-led nature-connection practices that offer you the opportunity to share a favorite exercise of your own. Together, we will sing, play, share in Council, dream, laugh, and deeply rest. You will leave feeling resourced, soothed, and inspired—ready to bring your wise wisdom back into the world.
Why Did Past Participants Love this Retreat?
“As an ecopsychologist and leader in my community, this retreat was invigorating, restful, and connected me to others doing this important work in the world. It’s easy to get burned out and feel isolated in this work, and connecting to the trees and doing the very ecopsychological practices that we are leading gave me a renewed insight into the importance of this work.”
– TerraLinda Pittenger
“Tina and Shea bring reverence, humor, and deep love to the mystery of the human experience. This retreat brought me closer to my inner and outer nature through powerful ecospiritual practice, community, and effective listening. It is an honor and a privilege to maintain contact and connection with these people and practices – I always leave these ceremonies feeling held and much more me.”
– Patrice
