Root & Return 🌱⛺🪵
Root & Return 🌱⛺🪵
a camping retreat to root, rest, and return.
An intentional pause to step away from daily noise and come back to yourself through ritual, rest, and meaningful connection.
Together, we’ll gather under open skies for shared meals, grounding practices, gentle activations, quiet reflection, and time around the fire — releasing what no longer serves and returning rooted, present, and renewed.
This retreat is hosted as a nature-based camping experience. Guests will be setting up their own campsites and participating in a shared weekend rhythm designed to feel spacious, nourishing, and deeply human.
