Diving Deep, A Ritual Journey of Grief & Joy

The Village is converging again in the heart of Appalachia’s healing watershed. For three days, we will gather to dive deep into the watery depths to discover our Joy. Come be a part of this alchemical journey and discover the profound aliveness that arises from meaningful and intimate human connection.

Event Highlights:

• Elder Wisdom: Engage with our beloved elders who will share their songs, ritual practices, and wisdom as a giveaway to tend the village heart. Their presence will provide a grounding and nurturing foundation for our collective journey.

• Grief Ritual: Participate in an intimate and heartfelt journey where we will explore the depths of our Grief through authentic expression, deep listening, mutual support, and ancestral connection. By engaging in singing, deep-connection exercises, poetry, storytelling, movement, and ancient practices; we will transform individual and collective pain into wisdom and vitality for ourselves and our communities.

• Nature Immersion & Water Therapy: Enjoy the enchanting natural beauty of this mountainous sanctuary. Nature walks, river swims, sauna, hot-tub, and forest bathing are available throughout our time together.

• Celebration of Life: Dance, sing, and celebrate the richness of life in a village of kindred spirits. Enjoy live music throughout! Through joyous expression and shared moments of laughter and creativity, we will deepen our sense of belonging and interconnectedness.

In this village, we will cultivate a space where vulnerability is met with compassion, where joy and grief are honored as sacred parts of the human experience, and where each soul is seen and valued. Together, we will weave a tapestry of connection that nourishes our own spirits while also uplifting the collective soul.

Registration & Finances

For the sake of intimacy, focus and safety, the weekend is limited in number of participants. Ticket sales are available in four tiers. Each tier has limited tickets and will disappear when they sell out.

We strive to keep this program accessible while tending to the long-term sustainability of this work. Please help us strike this balance by contributing the highest ticket tier you can afford, and leaving less-expensive tickets for others who might need them more:

1. "Strained Finances" Tier 1: $385

2. "Stable Finances" Tier 2: $485

3. "Comfortable Finances" Tier 3: $585

4. "Abundant Finances" Tier 4: $685

In the current economy, we know that many people are strained. If you own the home you live in; have stock investments, cryptocurrency, or inherited money; or travel recreationally, consider opting for Tiers 3 or 4. You may also consider selecting a higher Tier if you benefit from a higher degree of earning power (due to your education, race, gender, etc.). We offer lower tiers for those who rent, who live paycheck-to-paycheck, who are affected by systemic oppression, and for activists who offer their time and energy towards peace or protection of the earth. Your generosity helps this work reach a greater diversity of individuals.

Payment Plans: Any of these Tiers can be purchased on a payment plan. As you check out, follow links to PayPal's "Buy Now, Pay Later."
