Spring Rewilding Retreat | March 2, 2024
Day long retreat at The Whidbey Institute on Whidbey Island (Tscha-kole-chy). Summer Rewilding Retreat will work with the sacred wisdom within the summer season, offering a learning circle, personal guided reflections, nature-based spiritual practices, wild wanders, a labyrinth walk, and Council practice. An organic, locally sourced lunch meal is included as well as breakfast and afternoon refreshments.
In addition to the overarching themes of eco-spirituality and rewilding as a spiritual practice, the Spring Rewilding Retreat will cover psycho-spiritual themes related to the Rewilding Wheel and how to recover wisdom within Spring, East, Fire, and the Forest.
The Summer Rewilding Retreat will offer teaching on eco-spirituality; sacred phenomenology; and Hermetic wisdom. We will look specifically at the wisdom offered through the sacred season of Summer, and how this aligns with the wisdom within the confluence between a soul-centric Wheel of Life and the Wheel of the Year. We will deepen into what guidance there is from the season of Summer; the element of Earth; the cardinal direction South; the mythopoetic location of the Underworld; and the sacred bioregion of the Garden. Rewilding practices may include making your own herbal blessing stick from plants in the Westgarden; a guided labyrinth walk; group mandala creation at the Listen Circle; and more!
Doors to Storyhouse will open at 8:30am. The retreat will begin promptly at 9:00am and commence at 5:00pm.
It will be the retreatent’s responsibility to either arrange for on-island lodging or be mindful of the Mukilteo ferry schedule.
Communications for registered participants will include links to ferry schedule, preparation guide and resources, and how to get to Storyhouse, an off-grid cabin in the Legacy Forest of The Whidbey Institute.
