Remember Your Way
Our retreats are a sanctuary, an invitation to reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been quieted, forgotten, or waiting to be heard.
Through hands-on clay practices, creative process, and intentional reflection, you’ll uncover clarity about what matters most and begin shaping a life centered in your values, rhythm, and truth.
-
Regulate and Remember
Through yoga, breathwork, meditation, and reflective journaling, the retreat offers a return to your body and nervous system, a way to ground, center, and exhale.
These embodied practices support not only healing, but a deeper connection to your creativity, intuition, and the desires shaping your life.
-
Reclaim Your Creative Flow
The experience isn’t just about technique, it’s about remembering the part of you that knows how to create without pressure or performance.
Through the slow, sacred process of wild clay, we guide you back to intuition, embodiment, and trust; where inspiration flows and your creative voice can rise without force.
-
Connect with Community
In the pace and pressure of modern life, it can be challenging to find spaces where we can truly slow down and connect.
Our retreats are a space to gather in sisterhood. To be met with honesty and presence, and to experience what it feels like to be seen, heard, and held in with the love and acceptance.
What happens During the Retreat?
We move through the rhythm of creating with wild clay—gathering, cleansing, hand-building, and pit-firing vessels shaped by our own hands, hearts, and process, both internal and external. The retreat is more than learning a ceramic technique, it’s an invitation to reconnect with your body, your breath, your creative force, and your sense of self.
Through somatic practices, breathwork, reflection, and intention, we create space for what’s been held in or hidden—burnout, grief, clarity, desire—to surface and be honored.
We don’t push.
We listen.
We create alongside one another in a vessel of presence, reverence, authenticity, and shared humanity.
You’ll leave not only with a wild clay vessel cocreated with the elements, but with something far more meaningful: a sense of groundedness, spaciousness, nourishment, and reconnection to your inner rhythm. To what truly matters. To what’s next.

“The experience was a lot more than I expected. It was transcending. I don’t think it can be explained unless you experience it. You can give a gist overall of like feeling really close to the earth and people, strangers, who are also on a healing path. But, you just have to experience it.”

“It is gorgeous. It was empowering and calming. A wonderful balance of the work we put in with time to be calm, which I think is extremely important. A really beautiful job of incorporating it all and aligning the process with the meditations and emotional reflections.”
