A re-storying retreat for vision quest returnees, held among the oaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains

You crossed a threshold. You answered a call. And something in you was changed.

Now, in the quiet after the fire, you may be asking: What was I really shown? How do I live this? Who am I now?

In the turning season of October—when the oak trees drop their nuts and the air is rich with change—we gather to tend the story that is still unfolding from your vision quest.

This is a retreat for those who have crossed a threshold and returned carrying a gift, a question, or a quiet knowing. Through story council, time on the land, creative practice, and shared ritual, we will trace the arc that led you to the quest, listen for the ways it changed you, and begin to live more fully into who you are becoming.

We will gather acorns—symbols of potential and endurance—and slowly, together, learn the old ways of processing them into nourishment. In this ancient practice, we’ll root the work of re-storying in our hands, our bodies, and the forest’s seasonal wisdom.

This is not about polishing a tale for others. It’s about inhabiting the deeper story that wants to be lived through you now, while working the medicine of a slow harvest.
