Interwoven: A Journey Into the Mycelial Heart (Hybrid)

This Hybrid retreat is offered in person at Wonderwell (Residential option) and Live via Zoom (Online option). To Register, please choose one of the options in the YELLOW panel.

Beneath the forest floor, a quiet intelligence hums—threads of mycelium stretching outward in a soft, luminous weave.

Join Lama Liz Monson for a nourishing long weekend retreat exploring the wisdom of the forest and the profound interconnectedness of all life. Through meditation, shared silence, mindful movement, and outdoor practice, we will deepen our felt sense of belonging within the great living web of relationships that sustains us.

This long weekend retreat follows the pathways of the mycelial network—those slender white threads that stitch tree to tree, leaf to root, life to life. You are invited to step into that gentle mycelial mystery, to wander inward as you attune to the subtle rhythms that bind all living things into an interconnected whole.

Please join us to:

• Explore the mycelial network as a living metaphor for interconnection, reciprocity, and belonging
• Practice meditation as a form of rooting into breath, body, and earth
• Be inspired by the intelligence and resilience of the forest
• Reconnect with your place within the larger web of life

Over the course of the weekend, we will practice meditation as a kind of rooting: a settling into breath, body, and soil. Guided practices will draw inspiration from the mycelial network—its patience, its reciprocity, its way of listening to the world. As you sit in stillness or move with intention, you’ll be encouraged to sense the unseen connections that sustain you: the emotional, spiritual, and ecological filaments that link your life to countless others.

In shared silence, in quiet walks and outdoor practices beneath the canopy, you are invited to feel the gentle tug of belonging—an awareness that you, too, are part of an ancient tapestry of exchange. This retreat is an invitation to soften, to remember, and to return to your place within the great living web.

Come ready to slow down, to breathe deeply, and to let the forest teach you the language of interconnectedness—one tender thread at a time. Whether you are participating from Wonderwell Mountain Refuge or from the living landscape on your side of the Zoom screen—a front porch, backyard, community garden, nearby park, in the presence of houseplants, or simply with the sky framed through a window—all are welcome. Wherever you join from, the subtle rhythms that bind all life are available as support for your practice.
