Meet at the Visitor’s Center
We start our weekend at the Foothills Visitor’s Center, where you’ll check in for the retreat. At 3pm, we’ll caravan up to our private campground inside Sequoia National Park.
(subject to change based on road damage and repairs)
Welcome Ceremony
When we arrive, we’ll set up camp and get familiar with our surroundings for the weekend. Before dinner, we’ll go for a short hike and kick off the retreat with a Welcome Ceremony!
Dinner + Campfire Chats
Whether you want to keep it simple with dehydrated backpacking food or whip up something from scratch on your camp stove, we’re excited to see what you’re whipping up for dinner! After we eat, we’ll gather around the campfire to connect as a community and close the day.
Saturday, July 15 / August 26
Service ProjectAfter breakfast, we’ll caravan to the site of our service project - stay tuned for service project assignments! We’ll be in the field for most of the morning, so bring snacks or a lunch!
Hike + HealAfter our service project, we’ll head out for a short hike to a swimming hole to cool down and refresh ourselves. Along the way, we’ll pause to connect the dots between our inner and outer wilderness.
Free Time + DinnerWhen we get back from the swimming hole, it’s your time to spend however you wish. Journal, take a nap, bust out your art supplies, the world is your oyster! Feel free to make yourself dinner before the evening programs.
Sunset Hike + AstronomyAfter we cook dinner and eat together, we’ll head out for our sunset hike. Once the stars come out, it’s time to learn about the constellations and more!
Sunday, July 16 / August 27
Morning Meditation
Greet the sun and warm up your soul with a grounding meditation that will help you tap into your inner calm when the world feels chaotic around you.
Walk + Talk in the Giant Forest
Let’s exchange contact info, take tons of photos, talk about our dreams, and use this short hike as a moving meditation to seal in this experience with each other. We will be exploring the Giant Forest at a slow, meandering pace as we learn about the history of mental health in the National Park system.
Closing Ceremony + Check Out
Before we check out of the campground, we’ll circle up one more time for our closing ceremony to reflect on our time together and set intentions for life after the retreat.
Here's what to look forward to:
Service projects to enrich your connection to the land.
Naturalist-led hikes with breathtaking views.
Live music and jam sessions around the campfire.
Guided self-discovery activities to shift your perspective.
Making memories with friends who feel like family.
