A One Day Retreat of Yoga, land listening, ancestor connection, art making, harvest feasting, co-created ancestor feast, focused inward writing time in a shared and well-held container of community.
Saturday, October 24, 2026, 10 am – 5 pm
The ancestors are the lineage of seeds grown by countless harvests of plants in a spiraling lifecycle of birth, growth, harvest, seed, death, decay, fertility and rebirth.
The ancestors are your own lineage of humans who lived, loved, birthed, thrived, aged, and died as you continue to live. The gifts and legacies they cultivated with their lives come to us as blessings and opportunities to heal.
In the Celtic tradition, October 31st is Samhein–and the official start of the new year. This tradition acknowledges that the end of harvest and the dying time is also the hinge and threshold to the birth of the new year’s seeds. So let’s gather during this time of the harvest to co-create an intentional feast to feed our ancestors and acknowledge our place among them as future ancestors.
We welcome you to bring your gifts to the feast and to create a personal lineage altar. Connect to the ancestors who live in your DNA through embodied yoga practices from the root of your cellular wisdom.
We will co-create a shared feast for the senses to bring ourselves fully into the autumn season. We welcome the coming time that beckons a turning inward and deepening of our relationship to the underground, the below-ground, the rooted, by feeding and listening to our own roots.
Sliding scale $100-195 includes: yoga, potluck harvest lunch, all art materials, teas and herbal infusions, healthy snacks. We work on a sliding scale to honor the ecosystem that we co-create that supports diversity and inclusion. Please contribute what you can knowing that your generosity makes it possible for others to benefit and come together in our strengthened circle of community.
