Our Shadow & Gold Retreat: The Stories We Tell Ourselves

A retreat for men and women in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, offering a chance to reconnect with nature and ourselves. A weekend to reflect on Thanksgiving—which parts of ourselves showed up, and which parts do we wish to carry forward into the rest of the holiday season?

Through self-observation and curiosity, we'll explore the many parts of ourselves that emerge in our daily lives and discover ways to prepare for the holidays ahead. An invitation to approach ourselves and one another with curiosity, creativity, and laughter rather than shame or judgment.
