Upcoming Dates

“In this life-creative adventure the criterion of achievement will be . . . the courage to let go of the past, with its dogmas of ‘meaning,’ and its gifts: to die to the world and come to birth from within.”  Joseph Campbell

We wake up every morning and start thinking the same thoughts we did yesterday without even a moment to notice that those thoughts are still present with us, yet deep within us there is an wild old elder who is still wildly singing and yodeling and desperately keeps trying to remind us of our wilder nature. The nature we were truly born to.  We may have attempted many times in our lives to shut that voice off, mute it, discount it, take medication for it, yet it still persists. 

We live in a time of awakening.  The world is literally shifting under our feet, and our old stories can’t hold anymore.  The stories of separation, control, dominance, and safety.  So this offering is a journey, one to which most will have never gone on before.  It’s not for the faint of heart or those who are not actively seeking different questions or answers. This is a hard core reboot of your life.  It seeks to do in 3 days what in other circumstances would take years. If you have done spiritual work in the past, perhaps through vision quest, personal seeking, or other ceremony, then you know what this state feels like. This Deep Dive ceremony is a honing, a cutting away of that which no longer serves, an awakening into a deeper state of being.  It is about communicating with the core essence of who you are, and the majesty and eminence of the earth herself. 

One long weekend, usually from Friday to Sunday

The weekend will be an immersion in ceremony, ritual, deep inner reflection, and group work.  

We will meet at noon on Day 1 in time for camp set up and orientation.   We will gather as a group and have a chance to come together in unity around what motivations, intentions and prayers we are all bringing to this gathering. 

On Day 1 as soon as it is dark we will enter the sweat lodge for a cleansing ceremony.  This lodge will go late and we will likely not finish until close to 10 pm. You may choose to eat dinner after the lodge, or fast and get some rest.

On Day 2, we will be back in the sweat lodge before first light.  We will finish the lodge and enter into the light of the new day. Breakfast will follow, then a short group session to set up the day.  The entire day will be a SoulJourney on the land. That evening after dark we will enter the sweat lodge again and claim our gifts and let go of what holds us back.

The morning of Day 3 we will sit together and work on understanding and making meaning of your journey.
