Details of this retreat

You are invited to join us for a Summer Sostice at Rootstock, where we will honor the Sun on the day of longest light. With the inner wildness at the full of its outward-facing power, we will honor and celebrate who we are and who we are becoming. We celebrate the gifts of light, power, maturity, and self – it is a time of great power. In this ceremony we will celebrate the Light, within and outside of us, and contemplate how we may continue to serve the Earth and our communities in authenticity.

Encouraged to arrive by 4:00pm to have time to park and land before the ceremony begins.  Space will be limited to ensure the gathering is right sized, please RSVP and join the waitlist if space is full.
More About The Stone Circle:
For many thousands of years, humans from land-honoring spiritual traditions have aligned their sacred ceremonies with the natural seasons and cycles of the Earth, the “Wheel of the Year” according to modern Pagan traditions. The Stone Circle at Rootstock honors the deep history of many of these traditions in which sacred sites of standing stones mark spiritually significant locations. The potent Earth energies therein hold space for sacred ceremonial work. In 2024, we launched our first Wheel of the Year offerings at Rootstock and celebrated the passage of the seasons in community, honoring the Earth and ourselves in the process, deepening our relationship with the seasons, and building a deeper connection with the land through ceremony. 

In this second series of offerings, in partnership with the Rootstock community, Eyal invites you to join the community of a living spiritual “Stone Circle”, which we will build and hold through our ceremonial gatherings during the important seasonal transitions of the Wheel during 2025. This year, our ceremonies will be guided by the theme “tending to our inner wildness” through 8 seasonal rituals. Participants are invited to bring curiosity, a reverence for the natural world, and an open heart to our gatherings. Designed to be family friendly and inclusive for people from all backgrounds and beliefs. Inspired by the spiritual practices and teachings of the modern Druid tradition, we will come together in ceremony across the seasons, to honor and celebrate the natural rhythms of the Earth. Inviting the ebbs and flows of the natural world to speak to our Spirit, and guide and hold us in our own inward growth and evolution.

Come celebrate the turning of the wheel… 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

Pleasure in the Oasis
Stepped up to some over due self care last month with the Pleasure Activation workshop with Emily H - held at Rootstock in the Oasis.

Emily was present, kind, gentle and eager to share the excitement around finding safety within ourselves in any situation and activating pleasure through meditation & touch.

Added bonus- I booked an overnight for myself at Rootstock to dip my tired mama bones into a warm bath & fall into a deep nights sleep in the loft of the Oasis. Bliss.

Much gratitude-
