With wildfires, floods, extreme heat and the ongoing impacts of Covid19 continuing to rise, it can sometimes feel like the world as we know it is unravelling. How do we practice belonging in the midst of uncertainty? How can practices of collective mourning, joy, and belonging help to keep us grounded while the world unravels?

If these are questions that feel resonant to you, please consider joining us as we explore them through gently guided group practices, and personal reflective time at this upcoming retreat.Coming Home to Yourself is a 2-day retreat at a remote lakeside cabin on Treaty 6 land close to the town of Smoky Lake (2 hr drive from Edmonton, AB). It will be an opportunity to spend time in both personal and collective reflection––taking part in guided meditation, group discussion, somatic practices, and land-based exercises.

Participants will be invited to slow down and reconnect with whatever is currently alive in them and in their experience. This could be grief around the state of the world or about a personal loss; it could be a sense of longing to connect more deeply with one's ancestors or one's body; or, it could be a pressing question about one's life and life choices.
Whatever it is, participants will be met exactly where they are, and will find in this retreat a space to explore whatever is coming up for them while feeling connected and supported. Together we will ask, and practice, what it means to belong––to ourselves, to each other, and to the land around us.
