Upcoming RetreatInipi Ceremony: Member Retreat
April 4, 2026
Lexington, NC
Members, join us for a rare, hands‑on experience, guided by Spirit Bear, one of our Collective facilitators.
Together, we’ll take part in the traditional taking-down and building of the INIPI (commonly known as the sweat lodge)—a communal practice rooted in care, humility, respect, reciprocity, and connection to the earth and creation.
After the lodge is complete, members are welcome to stay for the optional Inipi Purification ceremony (sweat lodge ceremony), led by Spirit Bear. This is a slow, intentional space to listen, heal, release, and reconnect with one’s Self, Spirit and Creation, in community.
Space is limited to 12 participants to hold an intimate, sacred container.
Cost: Included in membership
*a note on exchange: Traditionally, donations are exchanged for participation in this ceremony. Monetary donations are welcome, as well as donations in the form of traditional offerings such as tobacco, sage, or firewood, given in reciprocation and gratitude for the teachings and ceremony.

Hurricane Melissa Impact Update
Our hearts remain deeply connected to the land and people of Jamaica, where our founders have hosted adventure travelers and volunteered for over fifteen years.
While our retreat plans are currently on hold due to the massive Hurricane Melissa impacts to the area in September 2025, we continue to hold the vision to host retreats soon, when the area is ready to sustainably and responsibly travel into, once again.
As of March 2026, electricity has just returned to the area, and the rebuilding of the community, homes, schools and other institutions is in progress.
The people are resilient and hopeful for the future, even in the midst of the infrastructure being completely destroyed. They celebrate life.
In the meantime, we’re offering ways to contribute to recovery efforts to help the people of Jamaica come back stronger. Thank you for being part of this circle of support!
