In a world that tells you to move on, we encourage you to move through.

What to expect:

Participants can expect a day-long immersive experience including somatic movement, journaling prompts, discussion circles, and the invitation to share your process with others through a site-specific “happening”.  In a world that often rushes past pain, Seasonal Retreats are a space to slow down, be held by nature, and connect with compassionate community.

Retreats begin at 10am, and we ask all participants to arrive by 9:45am. We thoughtfully structure each retreat (including moments of rest), so we do ask participants to be prompt. Retreats last through dinner, normally finishing around 7pm.

Every activity — group or solo — is about staying true to your own process. While we give you step-by-step prompts and activities to deepen your experience, our retreats are not about adhering to an agenda or doing things “right”. We created this sacred container for you to tend to your grief, be spontaneous in your creativity, and listen to your heart. When you give yourself the permission to listen to your own process, it creates safety for others to as well.

  • Peace Tree Collective stands firmly against intolerance of any kind. We welcome people of all backgrounds, identities, and walks of life. Our retreats are spaces where all participants can feel safe, respected, and valued for who they are.

  • Peace Tree Collective retreats happen on farms and center around embodied experiences—movement, walking, being outdoors. Our venues have rustic accessibility (uneven ground, stairs) and our programming asks participants to engage in physical activity independently. We strive to create a welcoming space for everyone, and encourage participants to honor their limits and modify as needed.

    If you have accessibility concerns, we encourage you to reach out to us before registering so we can discuss your specific needs and determine together whether our retreat will be a good fit. 💗

  • Experiencing grief and loss is intrinsic to the human experience. Whether you feel like your grief is “too much” or “not enough”, we welcome you and all your multitudes with warm, open arms.
