Upcoming Gatherings
Tending the Wild Garden
Spring Ceremony ✷ Nevada City, California
Dates: Saturday-Sunday, April 12-13
Basecamp: Annette’s home in Nevada City + solo time on Round Mountain
Join us to welcome the new shoots of this season and tend to all that is growing within our lives. As expect gardeners, we will step into the Wild Garden and tend to the ‘emergences’ that sprouting during the ‘emergencies’ of our times.
Basin & Range: Opening to our Inner Landscapes
Summer Ceremony ✷ Tuscarora, Nevada
Dates: Friday-Saturday, June 6-8
Basecamp: the high desert hills near Tuscarora, Nevada
3-hour solo: surrounding wilds
Join us for a summer campout under the stars in the high desert of Northern Nevada. Weaving between the expansive basins and ranges of this high desert and our inner, emotional terrain, we will explore what it means to be alive in these times. Stay for an optional group hike up Mt. Blitzen on Sunday!
What to Expect
Nature’s movements between seasons (Spring to Summer, Summer to Autumn) offer profound opportunities to release stagnant energies and restore conversation with ‘that which longs to speak to us’ and be born through us in these times.
At each seasonal threshold (Solstice or Equinox), we offer a two-day community gathering at whose heart is a 3-hour solo on the land.
On our first day together, we will welcome you to this work, introduce the land we will be spending time with, and offer ideas and suggestions for ritual creativity during your solo, including (and most importantly) doing “nothing!” Your solo time is completely yours to inhabit and enjoy.
The morning of our solo, we will wake at dawn and, on “noble silence,” journey into nature together where we will cross a threshold into solo time and space. Around midday, we will reunite, feast on a nourishing lunch , and gather for a story council where we will celebrate and uplift the gifts of your experience.
Expect nourishing time with yourself and in community in a landscape full of wild beings and expansive skies. We invite you to come with whatever is on your hearts — the ceremony and the land can hold it all.
These gatherings are intimate groups (up to 10 people). Once we receive your confirmation, we will send you further details and a suggested packing list.
We hope you can join us. Please reach out with any questions!
