Approximate Sample Retreat Schedule
Approximate Sample Schedule
* Some items are subject to change. **Some items are not.

Friday Sept 25:
-- At 4 PM we can move into our cabins.**
Before 4 PM, we will be hanging out in Cabin #1. Then all evening, we will be in #1 sharing snacks and chatting. At some point TBD (depending on peoples' arrival times), we will do an Equinox Seasonal Attunement Guided Meditation. We may do it more than once as people arrive (it's only a few minutes long) and we may repeat it Saturday afternoon.

Saturday Sept 26:
-- Early morning (exact time TBD): Caffeination Rites as Desired.
Either solitary caffeination / waking / grounding in your cabin, or come to #1 and share coffee, tea, fruit, muffins, and morning brain fog.

-- Probably around 10 AM: Water Purification Rite below the Waterfall. **
There may be a fire in the outdoor fireplace as we gather, prep, and enjoy nature. Dress for the weather. You may get your feet wet (optional unless by misadventure.) You will have a synopsis of the Rite to peruse beforehand, but you won't need to bring a script or anything else. Then free time to wander, meditate, get settled in your cabin.

-- Late Morning TBD: Divination practicum. A time to take stock and look ahead.

-- Lunch time TBD: Lunch in Cabin #1. Food needs will be surveyed beforehand, and a team will be assembled with diverse experience and skills.

-- Afternoon: Various activities such as seasonal arts & crafts, short teaching/learning sessions, guided meditation, writing, etc. Some group, some individual. It will depend on who is coming, and a survey of interests. It will be firmed up before we get there, but right now planning process is flexible.

-- Late afternoon: High Tea. ** More than a snack, less than a meal. It will tide us over between lunch and the post-ritual feast.

-- Around 7:30 PM: ** Gather in #1 for ritual prep and the evening's seasonal ritual. All info will be provided. If weather permits, we will process outdoor to the SummerHouse. If not, we will be indoors.

-- 30 minutes after Circle is Closed: ** Gather in #1 for post-ritual feast! Again, food needs will be surveyed beforehand, and a team will be assembled with diverse experience and skills. Some of us will still be grounding after the ritual, so we start out quietly until we're all back in our bodies. Then feast until we pass out.

Sunday Sept 27:
-- 11 AM: Cabins except #1 must be emptied. **

-- 11:30 AM: Gather above the waterfall for Rite of planting and Closure. ** Again you will have had a chance to read a synpsis of the Rite, but you don't need to bring a script or anything else.

-- 30 minutes after Rite of CLosure: Gather in Cabin #1 for brunch, sharing experiences, making plans for future activities, etc. You will be encouraged to take home leftovers, as there is always plenty of food.

-- 2 PM: Final departure and Merry Meet. It's fine if you have to leave earlier! Drive safely.
