Rooted in Nature: A Fellowship Retreat at Callaway Gardens
Join Jasper, Shannon, & Doug for a weekend retreat experience rooted in nature, art, yoga, and commUNITY at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, Georgia.
If you have never been to Callaway with us, this is your chance! We've been gathering in the gardens for over a decade now to play, practice yoga, ride bikes, rent canoes, zip line, make art, dance, laugh together, share food, and forge lasting bonds. Some of you have joined us year after year and we are so incredibly grateful for that. This year we plan to explore the myriad of ways that nature can help us reset our nervous systems. When we are calm and grounded in nature, we can face the challenges of the current world order and remain hopeful for our species and our country. If you need a nervous system reset and to feel the joy of belonging, consider joining us for this very special retreat experience.
This retreat is a sponsored which means you can experience it at a lower cost than any retreat we've seen. This year we are offering a Supporter Ticket as well, for those that have access to more resources.

Four Bodies Mentorship Program Begins
Western medicine often focuses on treating our physical and mental bodies. But you already know there’s more to healing than that. Your emotional and spiritual wellness are just as vital to your sense of wellbeing and purpose. Science is now proving what our indigenous ancestors and spiritual teachers have known for centuries: we are complex beings, and all four bodies—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—work together to support our optimal health.
The Four Bodies Mentorship Program is designed to help you nourish each of these bodies, one session at a time, with intentional periods of integration between gatherings.
Learn more and register here on the Mentorship page!
COMING SOON IN 2027
