What does it mean to belong?
To whom and to what do we belong?
How do we nurture a felt sense of belonging that is unconditional?
And what does it mean to do this amidst ecological and sociapolitical collapse?
This weekend retreat is designed for spiritual seekers who:
-
Care deeply about our world and are sensitive to the changes and challenges we are facing
-
Seek respite from the chaos and nourishment for the lives of service you lead
-
Feel a deep connection to Nature and desire to live more in alignment with that connection
-
Long to feel even more at home in your body, in yourself, and in the web of life
-
Get glimpses of your own magic and want to hone and express it - for the good of the Earth
We do all this with the intention to expand our collective capacity for embracing the unique privilege and challenge of being alive at this time.
This weekend immersive retreat is an embodied exploration of our innate connection to the web of life. It is an invitation to listen for and call upon the wisdom of the natural world, ancestors, our own bodies and each other, for the well-being of all of creation.
Through nurturing these channels of connection, we will practice attuning to the felt sense of “belonging” as our natural state. We do this with a particular attention to unraveling patterns of white supremacy, capitalism, and other paradigms/ghosts of domination that pervade our inner and outer world.
The intention is to support you to:
Be deeply nourished and renewed
Connect to comrades and kindred spirits
Gently attend to wounds within our relational webs
Anchor and enhance our collective agency
Imagine new possibilities for yourself and our world

Kate Fontana
Hi! I’m Kate (she/her/hers). I’m a christian-pagan priestess, psychic and mentor to the spiritual fringe who helps spiritual misfits live and lead with joy (without burning out or going at it alone).
Probably like you, I've struggled with the complexities of being a human at this time of empire collapse. I've sought ways of staying grounded, embodied, and in relationships that honor our inherent connectivity to all of life.
This offering comes out of my own personal practice and desire to nurture individuals and communities that are courageous, resilient and responsive to our changing times - while being anchored in joy, beauty, reciprocal care and celebration of each other and our world.
