The Retreat

Complete the Cycle. Return to Wholeness.

Together, we'll reflect on the lessons of the past year, let go of old patterns and energy, and activate our power for the year ahead. Guided by ceremony, meditation, and community, you'll prepare your mind, body, and spirit to welcome the return of the light, for the highest good of all.

Why 12/12?

12 months, 12 hours on the clock, 12 zodiac signs, you name it. It marks a full cycle. In Buddhism, the 12 links of dependent origination describe the full cycle of birth, life, and rebirth. The 12 labors of Hercules, a full hero's journey from trial to redemption. The 12 days of Christmas complete the holiday season. The 12 steps of recovery form a full path of healing. In Western music, there are 12 notes before the scale repeats at the octave, a cycle that returns to where it began at a higher level.
