LET’S MAKE SPACE FOR WHAT IS NEXT

We’re thrilled you’re joining us!

For five days, we will step away from the noise and gather in a space designed for presence, possibility, and transformation.

Through inquiry, creativity, spiritual practice, mindfulness, and connection, we’ll make room for what wants to emerge, and explore what becomes possible when we trust the movement from within.

If you have not filled out the Google Form, please do so as soon as possible. This will help us finalize the agenda.

YOUR RETREAT EXPERIENCE

BWB will help hold the rhythm of the experience with lightly guided activities, rituals, and invitations throughout our mornings and evenings. These moments are designed to create space to connect, reflect, move, play, and simply be, while leaving plenty of room for you to shape the experience in a way that feels right for you.

Throughout the retreat, a range of wellness experiences and program offerings will also be available, inviting you to explore, participate, or opt out as you feel called. We’ll share more about what’s in store when you arrive at AKERA, leaving a little room for surprise and discovery along the way.

On Wednesday, you are welcome to arrive as early as 3pm to get settled in and begin exploring the property. Please plan to arrive no later than 5pm. We will have a welcome circle and program starting at 5:30pm.

It is important to have the group all together at the welcome circle, so we can begin the experience all together.

Contact us in advance if you need to let us know of any special travel plans.
