Retreat led by Adam Lobel and Catherine McGee

Among the ancient trees and rolling meadows of rural France, join us for a lively retreat of meditation, Earth practices, communauté, inquiry, and wise action. Showcasing visionary ecological-spiritual communities throughout Europe, together we will transmute eco-anxiety and grief into responsiveness, explore land-based practices, skillful environmental protection, and discover the magic of our sacred world.

We will gather with a wide range of spiritual teachers across many traditions, leaders d'opinion, artistes terrestres, Les agriculteurs, and inspiring compassionate activists during this time of climate crisis and environmental loss.

Afternoons will feature onsite workshops such as:

• The Ulex Project with Guhyapati
• The Work That Reconnects, led by Tessa Racine (en français)
• Contemplative Land Art, led by Colin Tracy, Youri Wilde, Klára Vlková and Sid Liddall

In the evenings, we will offer online presentations from offsite speakers, y compris:

If you love this sacred planet, are holding the pain of our Earth in your heart, long to bring this truth into your own practice, la créativité, and wise action, cette retraite est pour toi!

Gather with many like-minded friends to practice, heal, cultivate resilience, and learn methods to connect with Earth. We are called—beyond hope and fear—into new stories and quiet confidence as we learn from the loss and possibilities of a changing world.

No meditation experience or ecological background required! Just living on planet Earth is enough.
