Path of the Heart: Fall Equinox Grief Retreat

The Path of the Heart is a journey that connects us to our soul’s truth and the Source of creation through a journey of healing and remembrance. Join us for an intimate weekend of ancient ritual and deep healing to alchemize our grief so that we may reclaim our birthright of unconditional love on the sacred path. When we walk this Path of the Heart, we understand that to embody the finer energies of creation, one must embrace the darkness to be in the light truly.

Coyote Institute Healing Camp

We’re gathering again for four unforgettable days of playful healing, deep storytelling, and transformative ceremony—all surrounded by the beautiful environment of The Nest in Woodstock, NY. This year, we will work with the energy of masks. Masks have long been considered as a place for spirits to 'land' in order to accompany us on a journey of healing.

Led by Dr. Lewis Mehl-Madrona, Barbara Mainguy, and Peter Blum, this unique retreat invites you to explore the stories that shape your life—and how to reimagine them in powerful new ways.
