Deep Dive Retreats

Why a Retreat?

I explicitly invite the natural elements I hold as sacred into our relationship. Going on retreat will allow us to practice Relational Depth™ together while being in the same physical field with the elements that have taught and guided both me and my ancestors. The result of these immersive journeys have been life-changing for me and those who travel with me.

The element I work with most is water, and I have a special lifetime relationships with the Caribbean Sea, the Pacific Ocean, and the many rivers in and near Humboldt County, where I currently live. I also have longstanding relationships with many tropical islands, mountains and the tallest trees in the world (coastal redwoods). Our retreats take place in locations where I am deeply connected, mostly places where I've lived a while.
