Into the Woods:
Harvest of the Soul
Sept 17-20, 2026
Cultus Lake, Oregon
A wilderness equinox journey to gather what has grown within you.
Think adventure.
Think lakeside ceremony.
Think forest trails, paddle boards on still water, and fireside storytelling beneath open skies.
This four-day wilderness gathering invites you to unplug from the noise of daily life and reconnect with the quiet wisdom within. Together we’ll hike, bike, or boat into camp and spend our days immersed in nature, sharing meals, laughing, resting, reflecting, and reconnecting with what matters most.
Rooted in the spirit of the autumn equinox as a time of balance and gratitude, this experience invites you to honor the harvest of your year. Through adventure, fireside storytelling, and intentional ceremony, we’ll reflect on what has ripened in our lives, release what no longer serves us, and plant seeds for the quieter season ahead.
Sliding Scale Exchange of 850-1150+.
300 non-refundable deposit to hold your spot.
