Shelterwood Collective Retreat
Friday, April 3 - Sunday, April 5 on Whidbey Island
For a full description of this offering, visit this page.
GATHERING
For healers, helpers, keepers of presence and steadiness for others — this weekend is an intentional unfolding back to yourself. This retreat is an invitation to receive back what has been given away, to reconnect with land, community, and the deep rhythms of your own nervous system, and to restore.
LOCATION
We gather on stewarded land at the Whidbey Institute, nestled in old-growth forest on Whidbey Island. A shelterwood in the forest is a canopy system that protects what’s emerging — and this retreat mirrors that ethic: supported, held, protected.
CONTAINER
Our 3-day container is designed to be intentional, immersive, and invitational. We will be leaning into liminal space as a way of shifting into a posture of receiving and restoration.
3 days of thoughtful, embodied ritual and practice held by seasoned facilitators and co-created in community. All ceremonies, somatic practices, circles, rituals, and creative spaces are included.
2 nights of lodging in an old-growth forest ecosystem. The entire Whidbey Institute campus is reserved for our community — creating privacy, safety, and continuity throughout the weekend.
5 nourishing, farm-to-table meals, plus coffee, tea, refreshments, and snacks throughout the day. Meals are part of the retreat rhythm — shared tables, slow mornings, lingering conversations. You won’t need to coordinate, drive, or think about food. It’s all tended.
18 CEU units are included in the retreat fee. These units will be received through experiential, embodied learning — no extra work required. Professional renewal woven into personal restoration.
EXCHANGE
This retreat is not designed for profit. It is designed as a shared ecology — one where resources, care, and presence circulate rather than accumulate.
If you are able to choose a higher tier, you are helping make this gathering possible for others. If you need to choose a supported tier, you are still fully welcomed. We trust participants to choose the tier that feels honest and sustainable for them. No explanation is required.
Canopy Tier: $1,111 | Supporter Cost
This tier most closely reflects the true cost of the retreat. Choosing this level helps sustain the shared container, support retreat stewards, and subsidize participation for others. If you are financially resourced and able to help hold the canopy, this tier supports the whole forest.
Root Tier: $999 | Core Cost
This tier reflects the core cost of participation and helps us meet retreat expenses. It holds the center of the retreat and keeps the structure stable. If this feels like a balanced and accessible investment for you, this tier is a strong and welcomed choice.
Mycelial Tier: $888 | Supported Cost
This tier is partially subsidized by the community and intended for those who would benefit deeply from attending but need additional support to make it possible. Choosing this tier is not taking too much — it is part of how we practice shared care.
*If cost is a barrier even at the Mycelial tier, please reach out. We may have limited additional support available.
PAYMENT PLANS
You have the option to pay your remaining balance in one, two, or three installments.
One Installment — due upon registration
Two Installments — due March 15 and May 15
Three Installments — due March 15, May 15, and July 15
If you choose to pay in installments a $111 deposit it required at registration to secure your spot. The deposit will be applied to your retreat balance.
TERMS
Due to the investment this offering requires, your registration is non-refundable. If something impacts your capacity to attend, you can transfer your registration to a colleague or friend.
