This Daywander program offers an opportunity for solo reflection as we turn into autumn, a time of gathering in our roots and dropping our leaves.
Join us for a day of personal contemplation and group council in the peaceful forest, where nature and community will meet and witness us as our whole selves.
All bodies are welcome to join us in this exploration. We are committed to making programs accessible for as many kinds of humans at possible.

WHAT IS A DAYWANDER?A daywander is a solo nature experience held by community. It is a wilderness meditation. It is a place of slowing down, of being with and listening to the wisdom of nature. Of being with yourself, your body, your heart.
More concretely, a daywander is a solo experience in which you spend time in nature without the company of other humans. That time is bookended by time spent in a community of fellow participants and with the holding help of your guides, so that the lessons that you learn on the land can be witnessed by community, and brought forth into your everyday life.
A daywander is a fast— you will be fasting from human contact, from rooms and walls and couches, from familiarity, from the ping of your phone, and perhaps from food. You will be stripping away all these potential distractions, and placing yourself in the belly of nature, in order to listen both to yourself and to the earth.
This practice, as your guides offer it, is rooted in School of Lost Borders lineage.

“This was such a powerful and transformative experience. It allowed for time and space to go deeply into myself and listen to my heart's truest desires. The guides made this an incredibly accessible and healing practice and the other participants were inspiring and now feel like close friends. I am so deeply grateful.”

Want to learn more?
Many of the programs we offer, when compared to the world that most modern American humans walk though on a daily basis, are strange and foreign to say the least ..... at least that is how I felt when I first entered the world of nature-based ceremony.
