Ecstatic Self Winter Retreat

Thursday, February 15th to Monday, February 19th, 2024

South Newfane, VT

Perhaps you found Kaelan through YouTube — or maybe you encountered him through one of his books — regardless of how your paths crossed, now is your chance to join him and other soul journeyers on a four-night retreat in pastoral Vermont.

At this wintery gathering, you will embark on an adventure of soulfully reconnecting with your innermost self. Through calming meditations, heartwarming conversations, starlit hikes, chanting, and social bonding, you and the other pilgrims will laugh, cry, and "crack wide open." You will be nestled in the snowy landscape of the beautiful Willow Retreat Center, where Kaelan and his husband lovingly support you through this spiritual transformation experience, guiding you toward tranquility and personal growth.

Activities include:

• Wintery hikes/snowshoeing
• Sacred fire ceremony
• Clothing-optional yoga
• Practices to connect with nature spirits and deities
• Mantric chanting
• Initiation into meditation techniques
• Sharing circles
• Personal narrative cultivation
• Spiritual artwork creation
• Partnered vulnerability and connection exercises
• Breathwork/pranayama
• Acknowledging and processing grief
• Ecstatic dance
• Journaling
• Practices on the integration of sexuality and spirituality

All meals are included from Thursday evening until Monday morning. Participation is limited due to space constraints of the venue; all rooming will be shared. If interested, please fill out an application stating your intent and why you think this retreat is coming at the perfect time for you. Limited scholarships are available for those wishing to attend but currently experiencing financial hardship.

This workshop will be co-facilitated by Kaelan's husband, Anthony Gutierrez, a leader in HIV and LGBTQ+ spaces for almost 20 years. While there will be a strong focus on the queer-masculine experience, this program is open to all expressions of identity, gender, and sexuality.

Commit to your personal growth and reserve your spot today for this unforgettable wintertime escape!

Cost for retreat, food, lodging, and all activities: $1970
