As May unfolds in the Pacific Northwest, nature buzzes and hums. Soft rains give way to blooming wildflowers. Birdsong and frog chorus fill the atmosphere. The days lighten, warm, and stretch out. Hope, renewal, and possibility dance and swirl. The season is an ideal time to turn inward, attune to your heart’s song, and re-emerge. This retreat is an invitation to step away from the demands of your daily living and into a space of deeper awareness and presence. You’ll have the opportunity to listen to your body, soften your mind, and align with the rhythm of the season.
