Gather at the Hearth
Myth is the map. The land is where the body finally tells the truth.
​
These retreats are held at the edge of things — ocean cliffs, volcanic fire, sacred mountains, the thinning of the veil. They are not workshops. They are thresholds. You cross one and something in you quietly shifts that cannot be unshifted. The land holds what the mind has been carrying alone. All genders welcome.

Ariel, Andromeda, Sedna — three women who lost their voices, their freedom, their creative power to those who should have protected them. Their myths are not tragedies. They are maps back to what the water has always kept safe for you.
Three days and three nights on the wild California coast. Salt air, somatic practice, and ceremony at the ocean’s edge. Small circle, deep witnessing. This is where the nervous system learns it is allowed to put something down.
Tuition, Food & ceremony supplies included
