Rewilding Retreats
"Grief is alive, wild, untamed and cannot be domesticated. It resists the demands to remain passive and still. We move in jangled, unsettled, and riotous ways when grief takes hold of us. It is truly an emotion that rises from the soul.” - Francis Weller
Our Rewilding Retreats are a form of soulful restoration with an emphasis on recreating our "natural and uncultivated states" honoring an ancestry, our deeper pasts, community, and the building of continued bonds.
Past Events
11/11 Paddle Out
Facilitated by Kelsey Ellis and Michelle Q. Slavik
Join us for a morning of healing with the ocean. We will cultivate intention together, while honoring collective and personal waves of grief, love, and ancestry ending with a group paddle out at 11:11.
Winter Solstice Ocean Healing and Movement Retreat
Facilitated by Kelsey Ellis and J'aime Morrison of Mourning Surf
Join us as we welcome in the winter season, ground into ourselves & explore the ways we can let light in through our bodies in grief.
The winter solstice signals going inward for a time of nourishment and reflection. This has been a significant time of ritual, renewal and a time to cultivate a deeper connection to self.
Inspired by the ancient celtic rituals around the winter solstice we will ride the waves of grief while honoring and celebrating the light within the darkness.
Guided movement meditation and ocean play will move our grief and reset our intentions for the new year.
