What if your purpose is not only intimately tied to Earth, but your path becomes more clear when you connect with her guidance?
And what if Earth herself flourishes more when you connect with her consciously?
Earth Temple
Listening to the Dream of Earth's Heart
July 10-13th
A 3 night Forest Retreat near Mt. Adams
Join facilitators Amy Terepka and Saliha Abrams for a 3 night, rustic camping retreat over the Capricorn full moon to deepen your intimacy with Earth, and listen to how Earth's prayer wants to be dreamed through you at this time.
We’ll be guided by the moon, the plants, and the nature spirits for insight and direction.
Our prayer for this retreat is for you to walk away feeling grounded, guided, and interconnected to the larger web of life, as you trust in your place and your way forward
In fact, it’s imperative that we don’t.
During this time of great upheaval, loss, and uncertainty, now is the time to humbly and consciously join with Earth, and anchor into her for support, inspiration, and guidance.
Through this relationship, we will find more embodied peace, aligned purpose and direction, and a sense of belonging to the wider, unfolding story of Earth.
​
As Earth beings, our individual dream is birthed from the wider collective Earth dream.
When we intentionally connect our personal dreams more closely to her dream, the entire Earth benefits.
Earth’s dream is our cradle. She holds the matrix for us to emerge as a co-creative tendril from her Heart.
​
We don't have to face these times alone.

This retreat is for Earth-tenders + Earth-lovers who are feeling unsettled by the state of the world and want to find or deepen into their role in this transitional time.

What will we be doing on the retreat?
​This retreat will be steeped in prayer + ceremony, coupled with heart-centered sharing circles, and personal time to connect with various nature spirits for guidance.
We'll balance our deep dives with light-hearted connection and joy, marrying the profound and the playful together.
We’ll incorporate medicine songs, sounding, movement, and guided journeying.
​
The heart of the ceremonies will invite connection with three different Earth communities that all carry insight for us at this time:
​
-
The Plants
-
The Earth Elders (rocks, trees, water, boulders, clouds, etc.)
-
The Unseen Nature Spirits (Fae, Dragons, Elves, Gnomes, etc.)
​​​
We’re setting the prayer that you’ll leave the retreat feeling:
​
-
More connected to Earth, community, and your allies.
​
-
A sense that you don’t have to figure this all out alone, that you’re held by the earth community and the comradeship of others.
​
-
More grounded and guided through both your personal transitions and your role in this global transition
​
-
A sense that you are an integral part of the Earth family, and a greater knowing of your place within that.
​
-
A sense of ease and trust going forward.

You may need to walk in a little ways to find a camping spot, but the intention is for our kitchen and communal space to be close to the cars. We may do short walks or hikes during the day, but nothing will be rigorous. Keep in mind that you'll be responsible for your tent, sleeping gear, and all of your other camping needs. We'll provide a communal table and some communal cooking gear.
