A weekend to unthaw the heart - in a slow surrender to softness.Three days in the wild quiet of Gatherwild,
where the nervous system remembers
it is allowed to soften.Where the body becomes a temple again—
not a battlefield,
not a burden,
but an oracle.Somatic prayer.
Yoga like a homecoming.
Energy work like clearing smoke from the room.
Sound healing that reaches the places
language never could.Cacao at the threshold—
sweet medicine,
opening what has been locked for too long.Optional cannabis ceremony,
a softened doorway into sensation.
Optional ritual tattoos,
marking the moment you chose yourself
with ink and intention.Heat of sauna.
Cold kiss of water.
Steam, starlight, silence.
Animals wandering nearby
like gentle witnesses.A private chef feeding your becoming—
meals that feel like devotion.A silent disco under the sky—
joy without explanation,
movement without performance.Embodied photography—
not to capture how you looked,
but to prove to your spirit
you were truly here.This retreat is not an escape.
It is a return.To the breath.
To the bones.
To the pulse beneath the story.To the part of you that never stopped waiting
to be held
by the earth,
by community,
by your own hands.Come as you are
guarded, grieving, radiant, unsure.Leave with something thawed.Leave with something true.Leave with yourself
alive in your body again.Schedule
FRI SEPT 18 // DAY 1Arrival + Opening Night
You arrive and settle into the land—soft edges, animals nearby, the quiet that helps you land back in your body. We share a chef-prepared dinner, then open the weekend with intentions in candlelight, followed by a cacao ceremony to warm the heart from the inside out. From there we move into the deeper currents: sound healing, Reiki/energy work, and breathwork—an opening that isn’t forceful, but honest, designed to clear the static and help you arrive fully. The night ends gently, with space to rest, journal, stargaze, and integrate.SAT SEPT 19 // DAY 2Immersion + Celebration
Breakfast begins the morning, then yoga—slow, somatic, and grounding. Lunch is served, and the afternoon leaves room for spaciousness: sauna, soaking pool, nature, naps, massages, optional ritual tattoos, and time to process whatever shifted on night one. Dinner brings us back together, and as the sky darkens the energy turns playful—an optional cannabis ceremony for those who feel called, followed by a silent disco under the stars: headphones on, bodies free, joy as medicine.SUN SEPT 20 // DAY 3Closing + Departure
We share breakfast, move through a final morning yoga practice, then gather for a closing circle—reflection, gratitude, and what you’re taking home. Departures follow, but softly, like a return rather than an ending.
