Nervous System Restoration
Stillness & Somatics
A four-day immersion in grounding practices, slow walks, and the kind of quiet that lets the body remember it is safe.
8 guests
2026 season
Gatherings in
the hollow.
Seven retreats. Small groups. Each one follows the same quiet arc, you descend into the hollow to find yourself again, and rise with clarity. July through October, 2026.
Descend
Into the hollow.
You arrive and the woods close softly behind you. Days slow. The body remembers it is safe. This is where the real work begins, in stillness, not striving.
Settle
Held by the land.
Long walks, shared meals, honest conversation, quiet practice. The hollow does what the hollow has always done, shelters, grounds, restores.
Rise
With new perspective.
Many retreats close with a walk up the ridge, not for the view, but for what it represents. You leave the hollow seeing differently than when you came.

Creative Restoration
The Unhurried Artist
For those who once made things for the joy of making. Art, journaling, woods walks, no critique. Reclaim the practice without the pressure.
21, 24
A Women's Gathering
The Mothers' Exhale
A long-overdue exhale. Communal meals, optional silence, deep sleep, and conversation that doesn't have to be productive.
11, 13
For Couples Reconnecting
Two Chairs on the Porch
For couples who've been busy being parents, providers, partners, and forgot how to just be together. Guided, but mostly quiet.
20, 23
Faith & Reflection
Honesty in the Holler
A weekend of prayer, scripture, communal silence, and the kind of honest conversation that only seems to happen in the woods.
02, 05
Grief & Healing
The Soft Place
A gentle, held space for those carrying loss. Trauma-informed, faith-respectful, with room for tears and laughter both.

Nature & Stillness
Closing the Season
The last gathering of the year. Bonfires, long silences, woods walks under bare trees, and gratitude for the season that was.
Spots are small on purpose. If a retreat speaks to you, write us, even if it's full. We keep careful lists, and we tend to know who belongs in each circle.
