Held. If I am to choose one word to describe how I feel in Gwen’s presence, it is this. Whether it’s an online gathering, a pre-recorded offering, an in-person retreat, or just casual time together, the deep care and intention Gwen brings to all spaces is gratefully felt.

Sometimes Silent Retreats

These personalized gatherings uplift our humanity, align us with purpose, and offer space for replenishment through contemplative practice and circle.

Emergent space for whatever needs space. Without pretense, these retreats shift us from the habitual ways we communicate and find belonging. Profoundly permissive, our time is a healing bridge between the personal experience and the communal one.

Individuals, groups, families, and organizations seeking restful connection are also invited to inquire about private retreats.

 
 

The times are urgent, let us slow down. The times are urgent, let us play.

About Gwendolyn as a facilitator:

Gwendolyn has spent a lifetime as a vision keeper in heartfelt preparation for this work and since 2006 has been professionally designing, planning, producing, and executing complex events near and far, from the intimacy of a feeling to the landscape of an environment. Logistically and creatively, this chapter has evolved into her curation of intentional spaces that support her heart’s mission: to offer containers and practices that stoke healing connection (to self, each other, and greater nature). Facilitating retreat since 2018 she melds experience, skill, and intuition to inspire emergent gatherings.

Gwen draws from creative practice, somatic inquiry, meditation, contemplation, gentle restorative and yin based yoga, reiki, circle, sounding, connection to nature, community based storytelling and place making ritual. Designing retreats that take us through a personal & collective journey: from silence to story, breath to song, stillness to movement, rest to emergence, often collaborating with dear friends to offer diverse voices and practices that lead us home to ourselves and each other.
