—Weingast, First Free Women
We are in a time of increasing pressure, individually and collectively. The four noble truths, foundational Buddhist Teachings, point to pressure as a part of life, and our relationship to that pressure the choice point where our freedom lies. This retreat is designed to give you direct experience of freedom in context of deep rest and liberating teachings.
Our shared practices will include sitting meditation, contemplative embodied movement, outdoor practice, lovingkindness, storytelling, mandala drawing and Dharma talks.
Whatever your age, ethnicity, race, body type, or sexual orientation we invite you to join this diverse circle of women to co-create a journey of deep rest, renewal and liberating wisdom. We welcome trans and non-conforming women.
Our aspiration as teachers is that each woman will experience the next critical insight on her path. To support the integration of this retreat we will offer the opportunity to create self-organized circles of practice following the retreat.
2022 Samhain Ritual
Celebrating the Celtic New Year + Honoring Ancestors
Sunday, October 30, 5:30 - 7:30 PST
Tuesday, November 1 ,Times TBD
Samhain is the Celtic New Year. A time to literally create your own broom (or buy one on etsy) and sweep away the dust of the past 13 moons. It’s also an invitation to enter deep time and honor our ancestors through ritual, ceremony and celebration. Particularly if you have lost a loved one or a particular aspect of yourself this year (who hasn't), it can be a time to mark a cycle of closure. With the support of those that have gone before, it is time to take stock, make repairs, relish in the space of letting go and begin to call in the qualities of your becoming.
This retreat is designed to support you entering into sacred space the weekend of Samhain, October 30th - October 31st. We will meet for 1.5 hours Saturday morning on video to orient to the holiday, set intentions and practice earth based meditation together. You will be encouraged to create your own rituals, practices and celebrations throughout the weekend based on your own lineages, interests and intuition. Moreover, it could be any one or combination of making get out the vote calls, solo time, co-creating ritual with friends, ritual with your family or simply holding Samhain in your consciousness as an intention to integrate earth based ritual in your life. If you are called to participate, join us!
We will return Sunday morning on video to welcome each other back, practice, share insights and watch the sunset together from our different locations. Marking together the beginning of a new year.

Calling Forth the Light - A Winter Solstice Retreat
hosted by Spirit Rock Online
with Erin Selover
December 17
10 - 4 PST
Winter Solstice marks the moment where the sun is farthest from the earth. In many earth-based traditions, there is the practice of gathering the days before the solstice to call forth the light. This practice of calling forth builds relationship with the sun, humbly requesting its return to warm the soil, our bodies, and nourish all the seeds planted in fall and early winter.
As we approach the longest night of the year we join in meditation practice and ceremony to court the sun, calling forth the light of the sun within ourselves, each other and our global community. Please come with a candle and journal.
All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.
