land listening & earth circle

Monthly in person Santa Barbara, CA (no summer sessions/resumes October 18)

third Saturday 2pm - 5pm

In this practice we offer our listening and attunement to the land as a gift and receive the gift of that listening, in reciprocity. It is an opportunity to open to guidance and shift our orientation away from human supremacy towards all the beings in creation. Returning and held in a circle of community to share our stories, centering our relationship with earth and the holy in nature.

Community grief & gratitude ritual

November 2025 in person Santa Barbara, CA DETAILS TBA

A place to honor & give expression to personal & collective love & grief, to give a gift to the holy, accompanied in togetherness and beauty. We gather together at the common well of grief to tend our hearts, sing our tears, be with whatever your particular experience is at this time and witness, accompany and have each others back.Tending to and metabolizing our grief often transforms into gifts of beauty, action and whole hearted care for our world.

Seasonal ritual

immersions

ON HOLD FOR NOW

Meetings occur on or around the solstices and equinoxes, and occasionally around the cross quarter days.

A day immersed in nature in a small group to slow down, connect to your internal rhythm, and find belonging in the natural world, within togetherness, as we are given signs and guidance to implement in our daily lives. 

Most retreats and courses take place on the unceded ancestral lands of the Chumash people in the Santa Ynez River watershed near Santa Barbara, California. We honor with gratitude the land, ancestors, nature beings, current stewards and residents.
