Nature & Spirit

Whidbey Island Retreats

In this technological age, the need to disconnect to reconnect is becoming more and more of a reality. Like our phones need electricity, our nervous systems need nature…

Let us make your retreat a reprieve from planning, organizing, and trying, so you can tend to relaxing your nervous system, realigning with Nature & Spirit.

More and more people are sensing the need to pause, reconnect with Nature, and realign with Spirit. It is important we take time for this kind of reprieve, to be silent, relax, and allow the nervous system to calm down to the pace of trees. Whidbey Island is especially good at helping people do just that…

❋ Personal Retreats

For someone wanting to have time in solitude, in nature, to ground and uplift, Whidbey Island offers many tremendous locations. Our list is always growing…

❋ Group Retreats (3-20ppl)

For groups of friends or colleagues, spending intentionally spiritual and grounding time together can bring about tremendous relational and organizational transformation. There are a number of options for small or large groups.

❋ Local Activities

There are a number of activities on Whidbey Island that can help make retreats more meaningful and effective.

❋ Let us book your retreat

Organizing your own retreat can run the risk of busying yourself with what was meant and needed to be relaxing. Let us put together a retreat package and do the work for you.

EXAMPLE private retreat itinerary

Day One: Arrive & Decompress

Let your beginning be an ending of so much noise, made up by so many stories, and let it be a welcoming of the present moment. As is. (Yourself included.)

Arrive at your private retreat house. Settle in. Discover your place.

4:00pm

Freshly made dinner delivered at your doorstep.

6:00pm

Take a long walk. Or read. Or lie on the ground and stare at the sky like you and it are aware and present to one another.

7:30pm

Quiet, next to a campfire. Burn stuff. Let fire be a messenger for you, and give it your attention.

8:30pm

Shower. Rinse off your travels. Go to bed. Rest. Practice slowing, accepting, and releasing. Breathe with your whole body, mind, and spirit, until you sleep.

10:30pm

Day Two

Day Two: Arise & Shine

Let your nervous system and intuition guide the way! Be open to life, receptive and creative. Things don’t go as planned? Maybe you change your mind? Let the day be a language you read, rather than a passing circumstance.

Wake up as you see fit, and make no rush about it. Productive rest isn't rushed or pressured.

Make some tea and breakfast. Read. Pray. Enjoy the feeling of air & light here.

9:30am

Take a hike! Let Nature's breathing with the trees and the ocean be your breath. From breath into blood, purifying the mind.

Hike options are in your packet with detailed descriptions, directions, and maps.

Lunch Break. Check-in with yourself about what makes this moment enough, or not. And then create a response. Give it to God in prayer.

Rest. Read. Write. Walk around. Sit. Listen. Be still and know. Be receptive. Take a nap on the ground.
