Following Aliveness: Winter

As we navigate the busyness of our lives and the complexities of our world, many of us can sense a deep and growing need to reconnect with the natural world. This innate awareness calls us to align our bodies and beings with the earth’s energy and rhythms, drawing upon the profound support they offer. By embracing the wisdom and spiritual insights that each season illuminates, we can find greater harmony within ourselves and more balance in our lives.

The Following Aliveness retreat series invites you to experience the wisdom of the earth’s seasons, thoughtfully woven into all aspects of retreat practice.  Through meditation, inquiry, journeying, expressive arts, and time in nature, we’ll explore the transformational energies and themes of Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall, while deepening our connection to ourselves, others, and the natural world.

The retreats are designed both as stand-alone experiences, offering you the opportunity to immerse yourself in a seasonal theme, and as a powerful quartet, with each retreat experience building upon the one prior, as you’re guided through the full creative cycle throughout the year. Join us for one, several, or all four.

FOLLOWING ALIVENESS: WINTER

Our winter themes – REST and DREAM –  guide us into a season of introspection and renewal.

As the earth’s quiet energy moves underground, we too will turn inward, diving deeply into the imaginal and intuitive realms to uncover the wisdom and direction that will inform the year ahead. Our winter practices will invite us to cultivate a sense of wonder and to deepen trust in inner knowing, while also gaining tools to continue and enhance our intuitive listening long after the retreat has ended.

We welcome beginning and experienced practitioners 18 years and older. Daylong or multi-day retreat experience is helpful but not required.
