A SOUL STROLL NATURE IMMERSION
Just before 2025's Summer Solstice we invite you bring your walking stick to theGROVE and put it to use as a both a Walking Stick and a Talking Stick.
The idea of this workshop is to approach the day's outdoor exploration/walk/hike without curriculum. The idea is to take our steps onto the path, not guided by our Teacher (purportedly me) but open to the Teachers we may find on our way. The idea is to arrive with water bottle, and no ideas save for where the journey begins. The other ideas will be found on our way.
"Does the Native American story of the hawk, which just came to mind when I spied that nest, suggest a way of moving though the understory for some a few minutes?"
"Does that lichen's pattern remind me of a breathing diagram from an old Tibetan painting which contains lessons on meditation? Well, yes it does! May as well practice it now in the underbrush."
On our way, the Teachers will be revealed. The lessons will become plain. We have but to open to them. And then engage with them. With our bodies, our minds, and whatever else fits into our backpack. We'll have a few Teachers of the naturalist variety and the Shamanistic variety along for the ride. There'll be plenty to prod you to find your Teacher.
We'll enter the forest path with sincere intentions set and our beings prepared and open to any opportunities crossing our path. There may be song, story. There may be poetry, art. There may be encounters with the sacred, there may be sublimely simple bodily expressions. Whether the lessons are healing, growing, or remembering we will commune in community with all that is earthly.

PLEASE REGISTER IN ADVANCE
Your guide, Stephen Watson is a Dàoist unteacher. That's me! - I'm as a Dàoist is the unstuffy philosopher joyously interested in all the stuff...and all the nonstuff. The Dào is both the Way and Waymaking/Wayfinding. To live is to move, to move is to journey, and to journey is to make a path. Whether we see a path ahead or fail to hold to the path we propose for ourselves - we always make a path. Necessarily.
The Dàoist knows that the Way of path-going and path-making is what is important; not where we go but how we go. To find our (unmarked) Path along the (marked) path we will explore the natural possibilities to practice Poetry and process profound presence found on our way.
Qìgōng, Tai Chi, and meditation skills from a variety of the world's traditions are likely to be encountered. We may breathe into our bones and lift stones. We may listen to our cells and rearrange seashells. We may clamber and kick, we may expand our worldview by squinting at a chrysalis. We may shape song into Art and part pine boughs to reveal Poetry. We may express and experience healing methods from still-present Ancestors. There are many games and exercises in the woods. A Shaman is open to them. Such games teach of the Dào, the Yīn and Yáng of everything.
Let's blaze the path of engagement with all we are connected to. On our walk it may be a bit of lichen, a patch of mud, or a strange, insightful story. Remain engaged and the How will come to you through Play. Remain engaged and the Why will dance with the Why Not.
"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better."
-Albert Einstein
CE5 OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE :: Seeking Universal Peace, an antidote for our time
This is an outdoor CE5 experience, which was established by Dr. Steven Greer. It is rooted in a deep sense of curiosity, wonder, and a desire for an expanded state of consciousness. The interstellar civilizations we may come in contact with have extensive knowledge and technologies that can assist humanity as we ascend into higher dimensions just as they did before us. Join us as we push the boundaries of human consciousness.

FINDING FLOW // CALLING IN ABUNDANCE
Finding Flow: Calling in Abundance //
Move, breathe, create, and dance toward your deepest self
Tap into the abundant, expansive energy of the mid-summer season, a time when the Earth is in full bloom and creativity flows freely. The Empress, archetype of fertile abundance and empowered receptivity, will guide us through a soul-nourishing journey of meditation, automatic writing, conscious dance, and creative expression.
You’ll explore what abundance means for you — not as something to have, but as a frequency to draw in and become. During this two hour journey, music is the map, an altar is base camp, and intuition is the compass. This is a space to root into gratitude, replenish your energy, and align yourself to the natural flow of giving, receiving and having.
All bodies and abilities are welcome. No dance experience necessary, just an open and curious mind!
What to bring: yoga mat, water bottle, journal, item for the altar

ABOUT THE FACILITATOR //
Alison Ritrovato is a mixed-media artist, mindfulness teacher, and former APRN whose creative work is an extension of her long-standing devotion to spirituality, healing, and presence. For many years, she guided individuals and groups through meditation, yoga, and holistic wellness, opening her own practice and teaching in both private and community settings. When the COVID-19 pandemic brought unexpected changes, Alison turned inward—and toward art.
What began as a personal exploration quickly grew into a passion. Over the past five years, she has immersed herself in creative study with exceptional teachers, been accepted into juried shows, and received awards for work that speaks to both heart and spirit. Drawn especially to portraiture, Alison aims to capture the inner essence of her subjects—their soul, energy, or story—through intuitive, layered compositions. Her process is deeply meditative, guided by a quiet conversation between artist and subject.
Today, Alison teaches others to blend mindfulness and creativity in their own practice, helping students access a place of stillness and authenticity from which true art can emerge. She believes that when artist and viewer both connect to something deeper through a piece, something magical happens.

SOUL RETRIEVAL
Soul Retrieval is a powerful Shamanic practice that restores lost or fragmented parts of the soul. These pieces of our souls essence are often separated from the self due to trauma, intense experience of life events. Some symptoms of soul fragmentations are depression, unhealthy coping skills, looming negativity, low energy, disconnection from self and others, self abandonment or an over all feeling that something is missing. Within this session we will talk about the importance and power of soul retrieval, some of the shamanic history within this practice and you will be lead by a trained shamanic healer on a guided journey to retrieve your soul.

Meet Your Facilitators //

Through ceremony, community, and the medicine of voice, Lara invites others to realign with their true selves and remember the wisdom within. She believes healing happens together — in shared spaces of reflection, connection, and deep listening.

ARCTURIAN HEALING CHAMBER
Meet a Member of your Star Family + Experience Liquid Light in an Arcturian Healing Chamber
We all have light family and friends who are ready to assist us on our path of life, especially during this challenging time on Earth. After anchoring and activating a light portal in the yurt and upon the land in March our next Arcturian Healing Chamber will expose you to Liquid Light therapy which is a 9th dimensional gift from the Andromedans. It manifests energetically as a rotating field of magenta light that takes you to the zero point. The zero point is pure unmanifested source energy which holds all possibilities for manifestation of your highest path of light.
As you experience the void and marinate in this liquid light you link it to your most heartfelt intention. Then together we will open the light portal and call in our star family. I will work with each person individually to connect them with a member of their star family who has come for their highest and best in the moment. First I will invite each person to access their own intuitive gifts through their third eye and heart chakra to see what they can perceive directly. I may do some additional lightwork on individuals as necessary to activate these centers. I will also assist those who cannot sense this connection for themselves. Here I serve as a conduit and liaison to channel the information so the connection is made. Once this contact is established, you can go into your heart in meditation and work with these beings in the future as you expand your personal awareness.
This is similar to a CE5 experience which was established by Dr. Steven Greer. It is rooted in a deep sense of curiosity, wonder, and a desire for an expanded state of consciousness. The interstellar civilizations we may come in contact with have extensive knowledge and technologies that can assist humanity as we ascend into higher dimensions just as they did before us. Join us as we push the boundaries of human consciousness.

An award-winning multi-disciplinary artist, composer, and musician, Sörne’s 5-octave voice is at the core of his work. He’s celebrated for his hypnotic vocal collages, infused with primal energy and emotional depth that feel otherworldly. As Red River Noise puts it, “Sörne sounds of the future, fearlessly gazing back at you, wrapped in mysticism.”
Named a rising star by Rolling Stone and NPR, Sörne has performed at renowned venues like Art Basel, Miami The Walker Center for Performing Arts, Sundance Film Festival, Irving Plaza, and the Fillmore Theatre.
His unique talents have led to collaborations with artists like Robin Finck (Nine Inch Nails), TV on the Radio, CocoRosie, Gary Numan, Beats Antique, and composer Bear McCreary. His music has also been featured in projects like The Witcher: Blood Origin (Netflix), American Horror Story (FX), Life After Gravity (3DR), and more.
Sörne’s latest project is a 330-page graphic novel, Martyr Loser King, co-created with musician, poet, and actor Saul Williams, set for international release through First: Second Books (Macmillan).

theGROVE Talks // a speaker series: AA - Addiction + Ascension
For this talk, we will delve into the world of addiction.
What addiction is.
Where we are with it in our current society.
What its implications are.
What we can do about it.
Virtually all people in our society have some form of addiction in their lives. This talk is intended to help shed light on how this affects us individually and as a community.
In this vein, we will also explore what effects it has on the collective rising of consciousness that is currently happening on earth.
After Elijah’s lecture, we will discuss our own experiences and feelings surrounding this world. We would be honored if you would come and share your experience, strength and hope with us.
