Golden, CO
October 28- 31, 2027
The seasonal cycles of Earth are a beautiful teacher. Each fall, the leaves let go, and the animals slow down. Many traditions believe the veil between the living and the spirit world thins during this time. It's an invitation to release like the leaves, slow down like the animals, and connect with ancestors.
This transitional season prepares us for winter, when Mother Earth does her work below the surface, nurturing the seeds we plant. Our human experience of winter, however, tends to be the opposite: holiday busyness, end-of-year craziness, and the pressure of resolutions that demand we be better than last year (a secret: you don't need to be better).
We selected Golden, CO intentionally. This beautiful town has served as a physical and spiritual threshold for thousands of years. Long before it became a stop for miners and explorers to gather supplies and prepare for the journey into the Rocky Mountains, the Ute, Cheyenne, and Arapaho peoples used these lands for their water, plants, and strategic advantages.
What if you entered winter with more capacity? With less pressure to do more, trusting that, like Mother Nature, your body and spirit are doing the inner work below the surface and nurturing the seeds of intention you plant, so that when spring arrives, you're ready.
A read, write, yoga retreat is a long weekend that allows you to slow down with intention, read to inspire, write to release, eat to nourish you, and gentle yoga to ground and integrate.
