One of our founders\, Sara Harris\, recently stepped down from being an active guide\, taking on instead the position of “Guide Emeritus.” Two of our longstanding guides\, Cynthia Morrow and Sahara Chaldean\, have stepped back\, each taking a year sabbatical to honor the rhythms of their own lives. And finally – so sad to say – our beloved guide-compatriot\, Deborah Greene-Jacobi\, recently died. \nSo much change\, so much loss! \nAnd so\, when dreaming into a 2023 schedule\, I’ve been holding this central question: \nWith these big absences\, how best to serve our community? \nWhat I began to imagine was inviting people to join me under “The Grandmother Tree” at Putnam Park\, where EarthWays has been holding its own council meetings for many years. Then I wondered: If I were to handle enrollment\, might I be able to entice Sara\, Cynthia\, and Sahara to join me for one of these gatherings? Sara still loves doing the actual circle work—not so much the organizational part—so she offered a hearty “yes.” Cynthia decided to start her year sabbatical in the fall and agreed to join me in late September to mark the end of this year off. Sahara has wisely declined\, staying true to 2023 being a fallow year: a time of stillness and quiet. \nFor this second of two Grandmother Tree offerings\, please come and join Cynthia & me.  (The first offering with Sara is in April.) \nYou bring your own life theme and food to break your fast\, and join us for a barebones ceremony. We’ll have an intention council in the morning\, send you out onto the land for several hours\, come together to break the short fast\, and then finish with a story council. \nYours in service\, \n  Scott Eberle \n  \nLimited to 10 Participants \n$50 non-refundable deposit\n \nNo one turned away for lack of funds \nFor more info or to register\, contact Scott at scott@earthwaysllc.com \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n This program is full with a wait list.\n \n Please RSVP using the form below if you would like to be put on the wait list or for more information about this program.\n \n\n\n Your name *\n \n \n Your email *\n \n \n Phone Number\n \n \n Comment\n \n \n Full with wait list.

Exhalation. \nEach Breath a “yes\,” \nand a letting go\, a journey\, and a coming home. \nDanna Faulds\, Breath of Life \nThe forest is alive. It breathes. Its trees are aware. Its creatures are perfect in their simple steadfast presence. If you are quiet enough to listen\, it will receive you and it will reveal its mysteries. The forest is an ideal place to rest the busy mind. It is a place where you can return to wholeness. It is a healing place. \nWe invite you to join us within the refuge of a quiet wooded setting. Over the course of 3 1/2 days together your guides will support you to reconnect with your wild true nature through guided meditations\, council practice and time for walking the land. \nWe will gather at 4:00 pm on Thursday\, September 14th when we will check in briefly and establish our camp.  Following dinner\, we will begin to settle into forest time with an evening meditation. Beginning on Friday morning we will ease into a spacious daily schedule. The focus of our time together will be self-care and rejuvenation\, resting into each unfolding moment. We will close our time together no later than noon on Sunday\, September 17th. \n  \nLimited to 10 Participants \nNon-refundable Deposit $150 \nTo register\, contact Roy at roy@earthwaysllc.com \nRegistration Form\n×Registration Form \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n To register for this program\, please print and fill out the registration form located here and pay the deposit amount listed above.\n \n You may pay using the form below\, name and email required\, or you can mail a check to the address listed on the registration form.

Nothing…Silence…Waves… \n–Nothing happens? Or has everything happened\,\nand are we standing now\, quietly\, in the new life? \n– Juan Ramon Jimenez \nThis modern adaptation of the ancient “vision quest” is a ceremony of intention and growth\, marking the changes and challenges each of us go through in this life. We each meet such challenges in our own way\, and through this we can experience a great initiation. The vision fast is an opportunity to step back and clarify how you want to show up for this change. It is a time to reconnect with nature and your purpose here on Earth. \nIs it time to cross the threshold and find what gifts await? Gifts for you to bring back to your people for the benefit of all.  If your answer is yes\, please join us for this life changing experience. \nDeep within the Inyo National Forest\, you will be held in a supportive circle of men doing the work of looking inward with honesty\, and looking outward with curiosity for the wisdom the land mirrors back. This will be eleven days to unplug and get real with who you are and who you are becoming. You will have space and time to drop into relationship with the land and your most authentic self. And of course\, time to play\, laugh\, dream and cry. You will be supported to go where you need to go. \nAs your guides\, O and Roy will set a safe and supportive container to hold your experience. We will establish a basecamp with a daily schedule of council time\, preparation for your solo fast\, meditation\, and a communal kitchen. You will be on your own schedule for the four nights of your solo fast. \nWhere: Inyo National Forest \nWhen: Meet up on Tuesday\, May 30th and depart Friday\, June 9th \nCost: $1\,200 (Limited scholarships available) \nA non-refundable deposit of $300 is required to hold your place. \nRegister and Submit Deposit\n×Policy Acknowledgement\, Registration\, and Deposit \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease read our policies and registration information. To register\, complete this form and submit your deposit using the Agree and Pay Deposit button below. We have scholarships and payment plans available; please contact us to apply. Feel free to email with any questions you may have.\n \nPOLICIES & REGISTRATION INFORMATION\n \nEarthWays (EW) fills our programs on a first-come first-served basis. Registration requires a deposit and holds your place in the program you have selected. For the benefit of all\, EW screens participants to ensure compatibility with our programs that can sometimes be physically and psychologically challenging\, especially the outdoor daylong and overnight programs. We require participants to be in good physical\, mental and emotional health\, appropriate to the particular program of enrollment. EW reserves the right to refuse enrollment based on our assessment of these and other criteria. If you are not accepted for enrollment\, your deposit will be refunded in full.\n \nPolicies\n \nPlease take the time to carefully consider your decision to enroll in one of EW Programs; this decision represents a commitment to yourself and to us. Regarding our outdoor programs\, we have found that it is common and even appropriate for fear and resistance to arise when you are preparing to step out of your ordinary life and go into nature alone: obstacles\, (real or imagined\, inner or outer)\, may present themselves to you and it may seem impossible or too frightening to proceed with the program. These obstacles and fears are an important part of your experience\, and can serve to help you become clear about what your call to the wilderness means to you. Obstacles can pave the way for the insights and growth you will bring back to your daily life.\n \nDeposits:\n \nEach EW program requires a deposit to reserve a spot. Refer to each program for deposit amount. Deposits are non-refundable\, unless we cancel the program or you are not accepted into the program.\nAcknowledged\n \nCancellation:\n \nIf we are able to fill your reserved space from the waitlist your enrollment fee minus the deposit will be refunded to you.\nAcknowledged\n \nFees and Payments:\n \nPlease make the requested deposit for each program. Please pay via PayPal or check made out to EarthWays LLC\, cc “Name of Program”. If you are paying via PayPal\, please not a 3% surcharge will be included for each payment.

Everything is waiting for you. \nDavid Whyte \n  \nWhat is up for you that feels stuck or stagnant?  Where are you being met with resistance?  Maybe you don’t need to change anything\, but instead look at it with a new lens\, observe it from a new angle. \nIn our time together on the land\, we invite you to release expectations and past experiences and walk with curiosity\, wonder\, and newness.  Let the container of nature hold you as you look at major threads in your life.  In here you may find not a solution\, but a new way of relating with what you have been carrying.  With new eyes and a Beginner’s Mind\, you may return home to address those issues with a reinvigorated sense of ease and curiosity. \n  \n$50 non-refundable deposit  \nLimited to 10 Participants \nNo one turned away for lack of funds \n  \nTo register\, please fill out the form below or contact Logan Falley at logan@earthwaysllc.com \n  \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n To register for this program\, please print and fill out the registration form located here and pay the deposit amount listed above.\n \n You may pay using the form below\, name and email required\, or you can mail a check to the address listed on the registration form.

What is that makes you happy? Stay with it\, no matter what people tell you. \nThis is what I call ‘following your bliss.’ \n—Joseph Campbell \nCome join us for this daylong journey into a world of wild beauty alongside the Pacific Ocean. In our supportive circle\, we will invite you to seek out the inspiration and wisdom of nature\, so that you might discover and begin to manifest your heart’s deepest desire. \nWe will open and close with a storytelling council and\, in between\, you will be invited to go out alone on the land. During this integration adventure of the soul\, you can listen more deeply to your heart’s longing. What is that strongest desire in your heart? How might you feel if this desire were realized in the here and now? This journey in nature will help to heal your vulnerable and wounded parts\, while also empowering and strengthening your truest nature. \nWhat might it mean for you to follow your bliss? \n  \nDeposit $50 \nNo one turned away for lack of funds \nLimited to 10 Participants \nTo register\, contact Vanessa Eyen at vanessa@earthwaysllc.com \n  \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n This program is full with a wait list.\n \n Please RSVP using the form below if you want to be put on the wait list or for more information about this program.\n \n\n\n Your name *\n \n \n Your email *\n \n \n Phone Number\n \n \n Comment\n \n \n Full with wait list.

With the ongoing pandemic\, climate crisis\, ecological destruction\, and widespread injustices\, it is all too tempting to retreat from life as a way to find safety. To “hear within us the sound of the earth crying” calls for a subtle yet profound shift in consciousness. By sharing and witnessing our pain for this world in a safe and intimate circle of people\, we can also open to the natural beauty\, joy\, love\, and miracle of this existence. There is no better time to awaken to a vaster view of our inter-connectedness\, as creative expressions of this living\, breathing earth.

Uncertainty of climate\, the pandemic\, the social and political milieu all contribute to the concerns and difficulties we are facing these days. We offer you an opportunity to spend meaningful time in a wild landscape that has been burned again and again\, yet is clearly regenerating. Together\, we will sit upon the earth and share with one another of the challenges\, fears\, and uncertainties in our lives that can throw any of us off balance. You will then have a few hours to walk upon the earth to listen for the stories the land has to share about resilience.

Together we will explore the basic elements of this ceremony – its “bare bones” – with two intentions in mind. Over the three days\, we will call in self-healing for each person\, and we also will explore how each of us might bring these different practices back into our daily lives. \nThe Practice of Council: Our starting place will be a day of sitting in council. There together\, we will learn how to listen more deeply to the stories of others and\, in so doing\, how to listen more deeply to our ourselves. The last circle of this day will be an intention council in preparation for the following day. \nCarrying an Intention into Nature: On the second day\, soon after sunrise\, people will be sent out onto the land to continue this practice of deep listening. This time we will invite people to carry a question\, an intention\, or some kind of inquiry\, all while deeply listening for the mirroring wisdom of nature. \nStories & Mirroring: During the second evening and the morning of the third day\, we’ll return to our circle for a storytelling council\, sharing with each other the wisdom that nature has helped to reveal. We will also take turns mirroring back what we’ve heard from each other’s stories. Once again\, this practice of mirroring – like council and time alone in nature – begins with deep listening. \nFor as Mark Nepo says:\nIf we listen closely enough\,\nwe are soothed into remembering our common name. \nFor more information or to register contact:\nSahara Chaldean: sahara@earthwaysllc.com \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n To register for this program\, please print and fill out the registration form located here and pay the deposit amount listed above.\n \n You may pay using the form below\, name and email required\, or you can mail a check to the address listed on the registration form.

Like the waxing and waning of the moon\, the feminine is reflected by the continual movement of light into dark\, and back into the light. Birth death-and rebirth. She knows this in her own body as she makes the descent and reemerges anew\, each time sourcing from an ancient wellspring of wisdom\, passed down by a lineage of women who have traveled this path before. \nNo matter the circumstances\, the gains and the losses\, the wellspring never dries up. Perhaps\, it gets forgotten\, or dismissed\, but eventually\, the waters call a woman back to its source through the age-old\, nature-based practice of a rite of passage. She is called to go out alone\, with an empty belly and bare essentials\, into the spacious desert\, for four days and four nights where she will find herself in perfect solitude. Here she can clear away the distractions of her busy life and tune her ears to the voices of wild nature around her and to her own inner nature; the truth of her being\, a daughter of Earth. \nThis ceremony involves several days of preparation\, 4 days and nights of fasting alone in a wilderness place\, and a few days of incorporation.

This is neither a typical SOLB program nor a typical meditation retreat\, but a blend of the two. This 9-day program\, in the vast and ancient landscape of Eureka Valley\, is a ceremony in the East Shield of the School’s Practice of Living and Dying. This is an invitation to explore and honor the individual stories of our spiritual unfolding through life\, and to let go into the Great Mystery that holds us beyond birth and death. \nThough we will be camping out for the entire week\, activities undertaken will be non-strenuous and our emphasis will always be “safety first.” We will provide a list of personal equipment that each participant should bring\, and we will also provide some group equipment for our base-camp.

Camping will be in Baker Creek campground\, or there are local motel accommodations as well. The program will include daily missions into nature\, a 24-hr. period of silence and contemplation that will also include a journey up to the Ancient Bristlecones\, and daily councils to look deeply into opening into a conscious approach to growing older.

We invite you to listen and turn this around: consider instead that the troubled relationship is a metaphor for walking through fire season. \nSonoma County has arrived at a “new normal”. Instead of the surprise of the occasional wildfire\, we now have a “fire season” every fall. Or even worse\, we had a fire season this past year that lasted from August to December. \nWith each fire season comes real fear. Fear of destruction. Fear of evacuation. Fear of loss of home. Fear of death. How to live with that much fear\, that much uncertainty? For some\, the answer is simple: move away. For those of us who choose to stay\, what kind of clarity of mind\, fortitude of spirit\, and practical preparation are needed as we prepare to enter yet another fire season? \nThis ceremonial circle will be held in Sugarloaf Ridge State Park\, where all of the park has been burned in recent years\, either by the Nuns fire in 2017 or the Glass Fire in 2020. Even worse\, half of it was burned by both fires. We’ll start the day in circle\, inviting people to hear each other’s personal “fire story” in prep for a day on the land. During the solo time\, we’ll invite everyone to go out alone in search of tree wisdom. We’ll encourage you to have two separate conversations: one with a living tree and one with a dead tree. What do trees have to teach us about living through fires? We’ll come back together in the afternoon to hear everyone’s story from this day of walking on a land that’s healing and growing. \nFor more information or questions\, please contact Scott Eberle at scott@earthwaysllc.com \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n To register for this program\, please print and fill out the registration form located here and pay the deposit amount listed above.\n \n You may pay using the form below\, name and email required\, or you can mail a check to the address listed on the registration form.

As we begin to emerge from the liminal space of The Great Pause\, we will say goodbye to what was and set our hopes and prayers on what will be. \nKintsugi (golden joinery) is an ancient Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. As a philosophy\, Kintsugi treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object\, rather than something to disguise. It encompasses a philosophy of living\, finding beauty within the imperfections of life and peacefully accepting the natural cycles of growth and decay. \nSoul Collage ® is a process of using visual imagery to consult our deepest knowing\, calling upon energies within and outside of ourselves for wisdom and strength. \nMany of us are living with broken hearts\, especially after the unprecedented tragedies that have occurred over the last year. We accumulate grief and carry it with us\, often unseen and unexpressed. But grief can be a storehouse of power\, a way to reconnect with how we love and honor what came before. Grief can help us find the beauty in our brokenness\, while opening us to loving more and being of service in the world \n​For more information contact deborah@earthwaysllc.com \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n To register for this program\, please print and fill out the registration form located here and pay the deposit amount listed above.\n \n You may pay using the form below\, name and email required\, or you can mail a check to the address listed on the registration form.
