4. Into the Quiet: Solo Nature Retreat
Step into solitude. Listen deeply. Reconnect with your truth.
For thousands of years, people have sought the wisdom of nature in solitude. This solo retreat invites you to intentionally step away, allowing the quiet embrace of the land to guide your journey of renewal and self-discovery. Inspired by ancient shamanic traditions of nature solitude and the deep retreats of mystics, this offering provides a sacred space for profound inner listening.
Spend unstructured time in nature to slow down, listen, and realign.
Optional guidance and support from Julie is available to help frame your experience.
Choose between tent camping or staying in the outdoor bedroom studio—a cozy sanctuary among the trees.
Typically unfolding over three days and three nights, this retreat encourages quiet contemplation and presence. To deepen your inner focus, leaving behind distractions like screens and books is recommended. You may choose to fast or bring simple, no-cook sustenance for your journey.
Whether you’re navigating a life transition, deepening your spiritual practice, or simply feeling the call to be with yourself in nature's stillness, this retreat holds the space for your unique unfolding. Please know this is a rustic offering, intentionally simple to foster a deeper connection with yourself and the wild.
