Remembering Earth
We guide people
toward belonging, meaning and a conversational relationship with the natural world through nature retreats, mentoring and courses.
Our retreats and programs
Following the cycles of the moon and sun, the shifting tides and swirling winds, listening to the webbed relationships of place-based ecologies, we recognize the interdependence of humanity with all of creation and align our group intensives with the flow of Earth’s movements. For countless generations our ancestors listened to these very rhythms and by connecting together, we revive that timeless wisdom. Our retreats and programs cleave to the seasons.
Utilizing both in person and online formats, RE programs begin from the foundation that your longing is trustworthy, that your gifts and wounds truly matter, and that a soul story uniquely yours is waiting for you. By coming together, we step into a “new and ancient story,” re-membering that belonging occurs in relationship.

For millennia, our ancestors listened to the wisdom of trees, the river, found healing and belonging through their conversations with the wild world. Until recently this was the norm for how humans interacted with their surroundings. Today, the arms of modernity have nearly been able to eradicate the mystery and wisdom that we instinctively sense from the landscape. When we go to Earth and align with its rhythms, we open ourselves up to “a language older than words.” By listening to the other voices that we find we can more fully hear the truth of our central self and perceive the beauty of the life around us.
At this time of accelerating crises, we are urged to tune our ears to a slower tempo, listening for our gifts and the beauty we came to give. By doing so, we begin to decompose the story of progress and speed, opening to the yet-unseen possibilities of a regenerative future. Each of us contains a particular seed and our work now is uncovering and planting it in our immediate communities and bioregions.
Animism to us is the practice of being in communication with and listening to sentient life forms through various ways of knowing (thinking, feeling, imagination, and our senses). We will have a conversation about why animism is essential in building place-based culture and a tool for our survival and wellness. This is an opportunity to get closer to one’s central Self through slowing down and listening to the inner and outer landscapes. By aligning to the entangled relationships of the forest and offering ourselves to the language of Earth, we open to the possibility of discovering our part in the song. This program has a sliding scale fee of $60-100. Register here.
