1. Pre-Retreat Learning & First Zoom Session

As soon as you enroll, you’ll gain access to a private discussion group and we will email you your ‘preparation pack’ which includes:

• A curated reading list
• Multimedia resources (podcasts, articles, video)
• Reflection prompts to support your initial inquiry

A few weeks prior to your retreat, we gather for a live Zoom session to:

• Meet your facilitators and cohort
• Outline key personal reflections to get you started before the retreat
• Discuss logistics, safety, and group culture

2. Retreat Immersion

This 3-day intensive takes place on land, in nature, and in community. Across the 3-days you will:

• Engage in solo practice to support personal reflection and introspection.
• Engage in dyadic and small-group practices to support connection and attunement
• Experience embodied practices in contained group settings
• Develop fluency and confidence in emotion-centric and cognition-focused experiences
• Experience how ritual and ceremony can be supported in ones own life; safely, and skillfully.
• Be guided in inquiry such that your own authenticity and brilliance can emerge organically.

3. Post-Retreat Implementation

After the retreat, you’ll be supported to take the learning into your own landscape and ground it.

• You’ll be encouraged to architect the arcane in a practical, sustainable and enjoyable way.
• During this period, we stay closely connected via a private WhatsApp group—offering real-time support, encouragement, and reflection
• We reconvene online two weeks later for a final Zoom session to share stories, successes, and stresses and reflect on how to carry the leaning forward.

Here’s how to take the next step:

1. Fill out our short form questionnaire — this helps with the introductions and to build a strong, diverse group. View the Questionnaire
2. Book a 15-minute Zoom “discovery” call with someone from the Dirt Team
3. Fill out the ‘Nitty Gritty’ long form questionnaire — by this stage we will feel like we know each other and can get an accurate sense for ‘fit’
4. Receive confirmation of your place and get ready for the journey
