Utah Under The Stars Retreat

Join us Under the Star at beautiful sanctuary lush with native plants, flower gardens, raspberry bushes, fruit trees, and a mountain-water stream that runs through the center of the property. Enjoy the surrounding mountains for nature hikes, and the natural water hole for cold plunges and renewal. This land offers natural beauty, and a quiet environment that supports reflection, restoration, and attunement.

Our time together invites self-inquiry, deep listening, and embodied integration grounded in prayer, music, nature, and community. Together, we create a safe and intentional space for inner work, guided by ancestral wisdom and the beautiful presence of these master plant and animal teachers.

We will open our gathering by offering a prayer for the land and building a shared altar, each of us placing our prayers, intentions, and devotion into the space, and then prepare for our first SomoS Ceremony on Friday evening. Saturday will offer spaciousness for integration and time in nature, rest, and quiet reflection, guiding us toward our second SomoS Ceremony of the weekend. On Sunday morning, we will prepare for our Toad Activation Ceremony, followed by a sacred blessing to seal the work - honoring all that has shifted, awakened, and returned to remembrance.
