A NATURAL STILLNESS :: SILENT AND MEDITATION RETREAT
with Samuel Perry, Maryn Azoff & Patrick Surdam
July 2 - 6
Join us at beautiful Raven Crest Botanicals for five days of silence and meditation. You will be guided in simple, yet profound meditation techniques to gradually connect to and reveal our inherent state of clarity and stillness.
In addition to receiving clear instruction from experienced practitioners on how to practice properly, there will also be an emphasis on discovering our personal motivation to practice and how meditation can help support us, no matter what spiritual or healing path we are on.
This retreat is open to all levels of practitioner and no previous retreat experience is necessary to join.
CAMP WILD :: HARMONIZING WITH THE ELEMENTS
with Nasya Camacho & Candice Alcantara
July 16 - 19
Join us at Raven Crest Botanicals, a space to unplug, explore, and reconnect with yourself while harmonizing with the elements.. Each day is guided by an element — Earth, Water, Fire, and Air — shaping our movement, herbal workshops, creative practices, and reflective moments. You’ll craft herbal medicines, wander the gardens and land, gather in community circles, and savor nourishing, seasonal meals. Restorative movements balance learning, leaving space to integrate, reflect, and simply be. This retreat promises an unforgettable journey of personal growth, healing, and a profound connection with nature.
LET THE EARTH CARRY YOU :: RELEASE IN GRATITUDE
with Susanna Raeven & Sam Perry
July 24 - 26
In times like these, we feel called to take on many burdens. Great weights we are not built to carry. Certainly not alone.
We invite you to come together, embrace the might and beauty of the Earth and allow yourself to be held and carried for a while. Joy and lightheartedness are not inappropriate, but deeply needed now to soften, release and restore your inner strength and resilience.
Allow the moss covered tree, babbling brook and forest breeze to touch your spirit. Let bird song, the scent of flowers and vibration of hummingbird wings uplift your soul. Invite the waters of the land to wash away your tears. And offer your burden as a gift to the Earth in sacred prayer.
This will be a weekend of gentle restoration and re-discovery of our innate connection with Nature, so we can experience her immense generosity to carry us through.
THE THRESHOLD :: DEATH, GRIEF & BECOMING
with Lindsey Guttilla
July 31 – August 2
You are not who you were. But you are not yet fully anchored in what's next.
That space in between is the threshold. It is something to be with, to honor, and to move through slowly, with care and with support.
Come to Raven Crest Botanicals for three days held in the quiet rhythm of the land. Through somatic practices, hypnotic journeys, ritual, ceremony, and witnessing circles, you will be gently guided through what you have been carrying, with no rushing, no fixing, and no need to arrive with answers. The land itself will hold you while the work unfolds.
This retreat is open to anyone moving through transition, grief, or identity shifts, and anyone feeling called to meet themselves more fully in a season of change.
