Summer Wilderness Solo Circle: A Backpacking Pilgrimage into the Wild Nature of Your Soul

June 1-2; June 28-July 7; and August 24-25, 2024
Marin County and Sequoia National Park

Guides: Amy Biesemeyer, Aaron Bartley, and David Talamo

The wilderness solo is a time and place to reclaim our silence from a world that is constantly vying for our attention. A time to go where only you can take your yourself. Who are we when the layers of distraction and noise have fallen away and we return to what is most essential? When we embark on this journey, we leave behind the familiarity of life’s routines to discover the simplicity, mystery, and beauty of the wild Sierra. Here, we find the space to once again hear our own hearts and be guided by nature back to ourselves. Ultimately, the teachings and personal significance of the solo fast cannot be taught by another, but are something for each of us to discover on our own.

We begin with a weekend of connection and preparation in early June. By month’s end you’ll be ready as we head into the sweet, flowering wilderness of Sequoia National Park. In the heart of this journey, you will take 3 days and nights of solitude, discovering the power and magic of turning to Nature with the needs, yearnings, fears and dreams of your life. Then, we’ll meet for a weekend in August to complete the program and support you in integrating your growth and learning back into your every day life.

Others before you have come to…

- Discover their intrinsic gifts
- Mark a transition into a new phase of life
- Reconnect with vitality and aliveness
- Overcome fears that keep them from living fully
- Move through loss or let something go
- Find deep belonging to nature
- Have the space to build self-knowing

~How are you going to harness the potent energy of the magical last weekend of October?!
~Like dry leaves being taken by the wind, how would it be to let go of what no longer serves you, so you can enter into the darkening season with lightness and clarity?
~The veil between the worlds will be at it's thinnest, how would it be to have sacred, supportive space to grieve and honor your loved ones?
"The way the retreat leaders used the world around me to help me look deep inside was a more profound experience than I have ever had before. My confidence and sense of self have increased, and I feel more in control of my emotions. The whole process was incredible, and I take it with me wherever I go!” ~Sophie DeGreen
