rewild | A Field of Remembering
APRIL 10TH-17th
SAYULITA, MEXICO
Each year, we gather on this land.
Some arrive for the first time, and yet something in them already knows the way. And some return — not to repeat something familiar, but to step back into what continues to unfold.
Year after year, we are reminded that REWILD is not a retreat that begins or ends in the usual sense. It is a living field of remembering — an invitation to recognize our place within the greater web of life, the natural rhythms and cycles that shape us, and the relationships that hold us.
Fully immersed in nature, we gather in relationship with the elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether — not as things outside of us, but as forces that move through life and through us.
Through healing arts and earth-based practices — including embodied yoga, meditation, breathwork, sound, creative expression, and ceremony — we move with and through the elements, creating space for reflection, connection, and lived experience.
Nothing is forced. Everything is invited.
There is both guidance and structure, and a deep spaciousness woven throughout each day. Space to be with yourself. Space to be with one another. Space for conversation, laughter, nourishment, reflection, and what naturally arises when there is room to settle and simply be.
Much of what is found here cannot be fully captured in words. It is known through experience — through the land, the practices, the people, and the time shared together.
Over the years, we have witnessed walls soften, hearts open, and a deeper sense of belonging emerges. Something awakens — both within each person, and within the circle we create together.
In the closeness of nature and community, many find themselves touched by a quiet knowing — a renewed intimacy with life itself, and a sense of belonging within the tapestry of existence.
Maybe this is why so many return year after year, and why those arriving for the first time often feel as though they have somehow known this place before.
So the journey continues…
