Join us in the late afternoon of the longest day of the year as we gather on the land in celebration of light and love — the light that sustains all life, and the love that connects us to one another and to the living world.
The forest and shores along the Elbow River are our practice space for this nature-based retreat — offering a deeply nourishing experience for body, mind, and heart. Through meditation practices that invite deeper presence, we are invited to soften, settle, and reconnect with the living world around us.
You may choose to sit in the lap of a Mother Tree, rest upon a mossy bed, allow the gentle current of the river to flow through you, or lay back in your hammock, suspended between two trees — held within nature’s sound bath, gently accented by Acutonics chimes.
Together, we will create an earth altar in honour of the light and love that nourish and sustain us, then gather in loving witness to the sun setting behind the Rocky Mountains — immersed in the evening chorus of forest and river as they call us into stillness.
In a world that asks so much of our nervous systems, this is an invitation to pause, to be held by land and community, and to remember our place within the great family of Earth.
This experience includes a nourishing evening meal, wildcrafted tea, and a seasonal summer treat.
Lovingly guided by the more than human world, Kim Dick of Five Spirit Wellness and Amarin Dawn.
