Our gatherings take the form of day-long and multi-day ceremonies, and always involve a solo walk (or dance or sit!) with the land — a chance to step away from everyday life into the liminal, where that which longs to speak with us can reach our ears…
Upcoming Ceremonies:
Winter’s Song
Winter Ceremony ✷ Nevada City, CA
Dates: Dates to be announced - Winter 2026
Basecamp: Annette’s home in Nevada City + solo on Round Mountain
Join us in the heart of Winter as we listen for and mirror back the wild music of the living world. This ceremony will weave together aspects of music theory and Deep Listening - a practice of expanded sonic awareness open to all. Curiosity is all you need to attend — no music experience is required!
Balrogs! Befriending Creative Resistance
Spring Ceremony ✷ Albany Bulb, Bay Area
Dates: Dates to be announced - Spring 2026
Basecamp: the Dog Beach at Albany Bulb
We move through life accompanied by an invisible assembly of inner beings who tend to show up at the thresholds of our expansion. No strangers to these loud and fear-inducing voices, we have jokingly begun to call them “Balrogs,” after the dreadful fire demon who Gandalf battles in Lord of the Rings.
Join us for an expressive arts offering in the glorious urban wilds of Albany Bulb. This is a “Balrog party” where your gnarliest, peskiest, and most shameful limiting beliefs are gently invited toward integration within a courageous alchemical container. Bring your sense of humor and your loudest Balrogs.
