About Rootstock Retreat

Mission & Vision

We believe that the inner landscapes of consciousness, wellness and oneness need nurturing, exploring and fortifying so that the outward work of compassion, restoring justice, dismantling the patriarchy, defending the Earth, decolonizing ourselves and our world, and birthing a new paradigm for humanity can occur. It is the responsibility of those of us alive today to go within and transform ourselves so that we may transform the world.

Rootstock Retreat guides regular people, retreat groups, activists, teachers, and healers to welcome their own transformation in our rural refuge and creative sanctuary through deep rest, holistic wellness, ceremony, play, service, community and resilience building so they may return to their lives inspired to create a better world.

Robin’s Nest
Staying at Rootstock was such a gift. The Robin’s Nest smells like wonderful pine trees and feels fresh and light, but also safe and anchored. It has nice decorations and is very very cozy. There are windows and good light and it has everything you need for some minimalist time on a beautiful hill in Vermont. Walking around the retreat center and seeing the gardens is also a wonderful part of staying there. Beana & staff are so warm and accommodating. You will LOVE your time there. And more importantly: will have magical, informative sweet dreams in the mystical attic atop the Robin’s Nest Tiny house: HIGHLY recommend~ Read More

A beautiful and magical land of sacred and community
I attended day 2 of the 2023 4 day transformation fire, and it was a beautiful day of community, sacred ritual, sharing of food, conversation, and retreat and medicine. Beana did such an incredible job of leading a gratitude fire ceremony and holding space for the community of people who attended. She brought our attention to honoring the sacred through sharing her own thoughts, feelings, and experience with gratitude for the land, people, medicine, and resources that allow for Rootstock Retreat to exist, and then she went on to open up space for the community to share their own sacred experiences of gratitude from their lives. She brings this same energy to the whole space, land, and community that is Rootstock Retreat and for that reason it is such a special place to come to be in community and healing with others.

Fire ceremony with Nana
It was very simple and grounding. I love the simplicity of the nature of the practice. The guidance she had for us felt true and true. It was beautiful to experience this wonder of Mother Earth and the inquiry: what do we do for her continues to lead me. I’m grateful 🥹 Read More

Weekend away to explore Rootstock
I’m trying to be more self compassionate so I can be my best self for others, having this weekend helped me to do whatever I wanted which is a big deal when you have family commitments. My weekend at Rootstock along with the community event “All hands on deck” offered me an opportunity and a purpose to help this community that helps so many others. I look forward to doing another retreat here. Read More
