Rooted Connection
A retreat for young adults:
to be seen,
to be supported,
to be you,
to be.
A weekend retreat for 18-24 year olds as you ebb and flow through the big transitions of
adulting and being a human.
Honour your truest self, lean into your inherent curiosity, compassion and intuition. Connect with community, nature and nourish your nervous system. This is your permission to slow down, be supported in community, and root into your worthiness. You don’t have to do it all alone and you are worthy of support on your journey.
You are already enough,
