Why This Retreat

To life's questions, the answer is always "community."

In this time of great uncertainty, we're called to come together—to deepen our bonds, harvest our growth, and have the conversations that truly matter.

We've seen how fragile things can be. Between pandemics, environmental disasters, political chaos, and escalating conflicts, the systems we rely on have shown their cracks.

We pray for peace and safety, but emergencies often catch people off guard. Let's "get ready" so we can "stay ready" for what may come.

Love, liberation, and a fortified community—that's what will make sure our people are GOOD when things get dicey. Let's prepare by doing what we can today to show up resourced for one another tomorrow.

Join us to deepen as chosen community, make emergency preparedness plans, and gain skills together at the beautiful Whispertree Retreat Center. Prepping in luxury and style!

Join Us!

What We're Creating TOGETHER

Embrace Reunion & Celebration

Embrace turns five this year! We see this as our “family reunion”—a chance to gather as a whole, celebrate our growth and deepen our connections as we enter the next chapter for our network of spiritually rooted, impact-driven leaders, practitioners and entrepreneurs.

Community Resilience Through Ancient Wisdom

We'll explore ancestral technologies for building beloved community through collective prayer, ritual, mindfulness, meditation, spiritual practice, and song circle. We’ll be joined by Auspicious Acoustics who will offer sacred sound baths for collective healing.

Spiritually Rooted Preparedness

Learning how community becomes our greatest strategy for collective thriving. We'll build stronger bonds while gaining essential skills in emergency planning and mutual support systems. We will prepare spiritually and practically for what may come.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  1. 1. Guided connection, meaningful conversation, and deepening with multi-faith multi-cultural community

  2. 2. Live music, song circle, sound healing, healthy family style meals, and nourishing time in nature

  3. 3. A personalized emergency plan for you and your family/ household/ community.

  4. 4. A personalized list of key supplies you need based on your budget.

  5. 5. Practicing multiple emergency scenarios to test our plan and supplies for gaps.

  6. 6. Finally, we will weave together a "community resource map" and understand how we can leverage the greatest resource of all: community. 

  8. All in the context of prayer and faith in the wisdom of The Divine Plan.
