Being Here, As You Are: A retreat for creators & entrepreneurs

With Leigh Tillman and Melissa Schneider

September 14 - 16, 2026
Casa Portal
A Casa Portal retreat for reconnecting with your voice, your pace, and your creative well For creators and solo entrepreneurs navigating work that’s deeply tied to who they are. When work and life blur, it’s easy to lose your own voice. This is a space to step out of that cycle. Through shared meals, time with the land, and guided conversation, we move with a shared question—exploring identity, success, and how we’re showing up. Not to solve problems, but to let knowingly emerge.To hear yourself clearly again.In nature’s slower rhythm, and in community, clarity begins to surface—naturally.

Softening the Edges — Allowing Love to Flow Retreat

With Michelle Walker

September 17 - 21, 2026
Casa Portal
Love is the experience we long for. What would it be like to live from love, rather than trying to find it or receive it from outside us? This 4 night retreat explores how the body holds tension and protective patterns that shape our experience of life, and how we can gently return to a more natural sense of connection and aliveness through presence with the body. Guided by Michelle Walker, you’ll engage in embodied awareness, breathwork, and subtle-energy practices inspired by The Energy Codes® to release what’s been held and restore the natural flow of life force.

At The Threshold: A Forest Meditation Retreat

With Tam Willey and Rev. Tracy Rich

October 1 - 4, 2026

A sacred pause as we settle into early autumn. Bring your whole self to the forest and the circle as we explore the often messy, human pathways of being—through non-dogmatic, invitational practices of presence, time in nature, pausing, and meditation. This forest-immersive meditation retreat weaves together facilitated circles, place-based practices, and open time to let what arises settle and unfold—both in stillness and in movement across the land.
