Root to Rise: Initiation in the Great Turning Immersions
Autumn Immersion - November 6-9th, 2025
Entering the Bone House: Grounding in Deep Time & Gratitude
As we come together in a new circle of practice, we orient to each other, our ancestral lines and the future ones calling us forward. We explore gratitude as a politically subversive act that instills self-respect and dignity, serving as a counterweight to the dissatisfaction, craving and disconnection bred by the Industrial Growth Society. As the veils are said to be thin at this time, we make altars of ancestral connection and lean into the profundity of the dark as life energy begins to move down into the earth body. In ceremony, we strengthen our roots and ground our longing for a renewed world in the circle of community.
Winter Immersion - February 5-8th, 2026
Dreaming the Dark: Honoring our Pain for the World We gather for an intimate encounter with our inner responses to the suffering and destruction taking place in the Great Unraveling of our times. We validate all that we feel as a wholesome and necessary response as we learn how to grieve together, honoring our pain for our world. We track the texture of our personal pain, whether it be rage, fear, numbness, etc. and how our emotions connect us inherently to our suffering on behalf of other life forms and society itself, opening channels for collective healing and liberation. We hone our prayers for a revitalized self, community and world in preparation for the essential work we are here to do.
Spring Weeklong - April 18-26th, 2026
A Great Shedding: Honing Intuition & Receiving Vision We take a step deeper into our inner world and our belonging in the web of life, embarking to wild lands for a week-long journey that includes a 3-day/3-night solo fast. This is a supported time to share intentions and pray. Participants will cross a threshold into the liminal to empty, commune, listen and receive insight from the living earth. Upon returning across this threshold, there is an opportunity to share your story with each other and receive mirroring from the guide team.
Late Spring Immersion - June 11-14th, 2026
Feeding our Wild Gifts: Seeing with New & Ancient Eyes
We integrate the wild gifts and connectivity received from honoring our pain for the world and the great shedding time. We notice how our internal structures are rearranged and explore practices to fortify these shifts. We explore liberatory, decolonial, feminist and systems frameworks that will support our work for the collective. We begin to identify the ways we will each dedicate ourselves and take action in the Great Turning.
Summer Immersion - July 30-August 2nd, 2026
Harvesting Flowers that Grow from the Bones: Going Forth in Courage
We continue harvesting the wild gifts from the great shedding and our deep ecological self. We share how we are taking action on behalf of the Great Turning. We workshop how to build circles of support for our cause. We claim the personal compass we each carry forward and commit more deeply to our practices and the unique work that is ours to do. We bring closure to our initiatory container. We weave deeper into our local ecosystems, showing up with moral courage and spiritual rigor to do what is ours to do. Community witness and celebration ensues!
