In a time of ecological crisis and collective uncertainty, many of us are asking: How can I live in deeper alignment with the Earth? How can I respond with clarity, and care?
This is why we’ve created Ahimsa Nature Retreats: nature-based retreats that will allow us to guide you through outdoor and wild spaces around the world. These retreats are not a break from the world…they are a way to reenter it more whole, more grounded, and more empowered by healing our relationship to the Earth. These 4-7 day retreats will be held across the world with the Ahimsa team and community.
The inspiration began in Vermont, where our recent retreat brought together a group of tender-hearted seekers, farmers, and teachers to live in rhythm with the land. We practiced outdoor skills and meditation, ate fresh food grown on-site, walked mindfully through forest trails, and listened deeply to the wind, to each other, and to the voice of the Earth beneath our feet.
What we discovered there is what we now offer to you:
Ahimsa Nature Retreats are spaces of ecological awakening —
where climate action begins with presence,
where resilience is built through hands-on earth skills,
and where land regeneration starts by feeling more comfortable in wild spaces.
Each retreat is shaped by the unique ecology and culture of place, but you can expect:
Direct engagement with nature — from forest foraging to organic gardening, herbalism, and natural building
Teachings in spiritual ecology — exploring how ancient wisdom and modern sustainability meet
Daily rituals of reconnection — meditation, movement, storytelling, and ceremony
Conversations on climate and compassion — led by activists, indigenous voices, and local land stewards
Plant-based meals — mostly made up of ingredients fresh from the local garden, farm or forest
We are designing these retreats as an embodied response to the times we’re living in. A way to remember our belonging to the Earth, and to restore the sacred contract between people and planet.
Once I got back from the Vermont retreat, we couldn’t help but listen to indigenous artists like Snow Raven from Siberia who talks about the human to animal connection. We’ve spent the last 3 weeks understanding how First People have been able to sustain themselves for thousands of years in a relationship rooted in harmony with the Earth rather than destruction, and we’re just getting started.
If you’ve been yearning for grounded community, purposeful Earth action, and a slower way of traveling — you are welcome to join Ahimsa Nature Retreats.
Ahimsa Nature Retreats are sacred returns to the land, rooted in the principles of nonviolence. We are so excited to be able to enjoy the planet’s greatest treasures-the soil, the trees, the clouds and the stars together with you.
Upcoming retreat dates will be posted on our newsletter that you can subscribe to below.
