Seeding Self-Renewal

April 9–12, 2026

Creative Expression, On Land Retreats, The Natural World

Program Start Date & Time: April 9th  |  5:30 pm

Program End Date & Time: April 12th  |  12:30 pm

The destiny of Earth seed is to take root among the stars.

— Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower

In spring’s awakening, renewal bursts into the open — vibrant, visible, and alive with possibility. This season calls us outward, inviting fresh growth, clarity, and the courage to bloom. As our intentions and ambitions sprout, we are asked to tend what is ready to flourish, compost what no longer serves, and sow new seeds of becoming. Whether we are feeling stuck at a crossroads in life or work, transitioning through relationships, or beginning a new project, now is the time to seed self-renewal.

In this workshop, we will turn to the teachings of nature, the stars, embodiment, guided inquiry, and collective wisdom — all for the sake of regenerative growth.

Through highly interactive journaling prompts, paired and small group discussions, guided movement meditations, and other ritual practices for renewal, participants will discover tools to clarify hopes and dreams, release old beliefs and behaviors, and chart new strategies for curating the future. Join us as we align with nature’s rhythm of emergence to refresh our worlds and seed possibilities for life to come.
