A: You're getting into a beautiful and connective weekend in the wild with other earth-lovers! We'll be camping, and you'll be responsible for all of your camping gear and needs, including all of your own food and water. You're also getting into a deep, intuitive, meaningful experience connecting with other humans and also the land and the nature spirits. It's going to be rich, supportive, powerful, and also fun.

A: We will be at a camping spot with access to our cars. 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.

A: Everyone will be responsible for their own food and water. We'll have a communal kitchen set up, but be prepared to have what you need to cook.

A: This retreat is folks who are willing to camp, be off grid, get dirty, and be playful.

It's 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.

It’s for those who are wanting dedicated, devoted space in sacred community, in which to listen more closely to Earth, her dream for Life, and to their role in that dream.

It’s for folks who want to do their part to move us into the new collective awakening, in a way that’s aligned with their own heart and the heart of Earth.

It’s for those who understand that we need to practice our innate magic at this time, in co-creation with Earth and each other.

A: We'll be car camping along Panther Creek, just north of Carson, WA, about 1hr drive from Portland. We'll gather Thursday evening to set up camp, and then begin Friday morning to create our container.

Each day we'll hold ceremony to connect with an aspect of Earth: the Trees and Plants, the Earth Elders (mountains, water, rocks, clouds, etc.), and the Unseen Nature Spirits (Fae, Dragons, Elves, Gnomes, etc.)

There will be ample time for personal connection, as well as sharing circles to be held in community.

A: While so much of the outcome depends on you and your needs, the group, and what happens inside our alchemical container, our prayer is that you’ll leave the retreat feeling:

• 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 fellow sensitive humans

• More grounded and guided through both your personal transitions and your role in this global transition

• More connected to Earth community and that you now have new allies or a deepened connection with your existing allies in the Earth community

• More interconnected in the web of life, that that you belong as an integral part of the earth family

• A greater knowing of your place inside the earth family/earth community

• More of a sense of ease and trust in going forward through this transitional time

A: We're offering a sliding scale energy exchange of $375-$750 for this retreat to accommodate a range of folks with different financial realities.

Please gauge from your heart what feels appropriate to pay.

We want to make this available for those who really want to join us. Reach out to us at amy@groundwaterhealing.com if you need a payment plan, or another pricing option.

A: Refunds will be offered in full up until July 9th. Once the retreat begins, no refunds will be offered.

A: We are asking that folks arrive by early Friday morning to open up the sacred space together. It can be disruptive or disorienting for the group when folks arrive after the container is set. If, however, you need to leave early, we can accommodate that.
