Signature Retreat
Dirt Temple is for people who feel over-initiated on superficial ideas but under-nourished on somatic wisdom and psychospiritual mastery. It is not a space for people wanting guaranteed outcomes, transient transformation or ego-boosting.
Dirt Temple is for those who sense that many have their heads in the clouds and what is needed is solid ground beneath our feet. Nothing brand new and surface-level but ancient and rooted. Dirt Temple is a training ground for going deep, slowing down and staying humble. By learning to directly enjoy the hole-y-ness of the world we might come to discover the holy-ness within it too.

3 Day Program
Dirt Temple address the central wound of our age: the collapse of meaning.
Day
1Drumming circle, opening ceremony, gastronomy contemplation and ecology meditation, story and sermon (like you haven’t experienced them before).
Gently slow everything down and rediscover awe and wonder. Through drumming, mindful eating, land-based practices and mythos you are guided back to simple curiosity – not as a trite novelty or frantic search but as deep, reverent presence. This day is about listening rather than intellectualising. It’s about sensing rather than assessing. It’s about finding sacredness in the mundane.


Day
2Breath and body work, shadow work, medicine drum, crafting, wine rite, wassail and shibari.
We move from curiosity to compassion – for self and others. The capacity to stay present and curious with what is tender, difficult or hidden, and not turn away but transform. Through breath and bodywork, shadow practices, medicine drumming, craft, ritual wine, shared feasting and conscious rope work participants are supported to approach ethical power, vulnerability, pleasure and grief with utmost care and clear consent. This day is not about fixing or purging, but about learning how to hold experience – in the body, in relationship, in community – with radical acceptance, badass kindness and solid boundaries.
Day
3Breathwork and bodywork, philosophical fellowship and closing ceremony.
Finally we carry what has been touched back into ‘real’ life. Through breath and bodywork, philosophical fellowship and leaning to balance pleasure with recovery, participants are supported to reflect, integrate and translate their experiences into daily rhythms and wise rituals. This is a day of meaning-making without dogma. Rather than leaving on a high (although playing in the Dirt together is certainly fun) participants leave with a felt sense of what will truly sustain them over time, leaving with something solid and sure and sturdy.

YOU
BELONG HERE
It’s a touch exclusive but for good reason…Dirt is a multifaceted metaphor for our troubled times. It is a homage to the ground beneath our feet, a return to sacred soil and deep roots. It is a metaphor for rooting back down into the messy, dark truth of existence rather than the airy-fairy, wishy-washy, love-and-light-obsessions of current pop psychology and shallow spirituality.
Our Dirt Temple Retreat is for those standing in the centre of spirituality and philosophy, science and psychology – people who feel the deep ache of disconnection in a world oversaturated with information yet starved of wisdom.
Dirt Temple is a place of reconnection and reclamation. A remembrance that meaning and wisdom are not only in the ‘light’ but in the loam.
