Each retreat has its own flow, but you can expect a mix of guided experiences and open space. This includes tea ceremonies, energy healing, meditation, simple rituals, group connection, and time to reflect. Everything is intentionally paced so you’re not rushed.
-
Of course! There is a balance between guided experiences and personal space - we estimate that most of our retreats have 60% time in circle and 40% time alone. The space is designed so you can step in and out as needed. All retreats are located on private properties in nature so there is ample space to explore the outdoors, directly from your doorstep.

Yes! We work with Affirm as a secure financing option. If eligible, you may choose to spread your retreat investment into monthly payments rather than paying the balance in 2-3 installments.
For some guests, financing can make it easier to participate without needing to pay the entire retreat investment at once.
Many guests use flexible payments to support budgeting, cash flow, or timing while still honoring a meaningful investment in themselves.
Our deposit, cancellation, and retreat policies apply regardless of payment method selected.
If financing is chosen, repayment terms are managed directly through Affirm.
We encourage each guest to choose the payment option that feels sustainable and aligned with their circumstances.
Flexible Payment Example
A shared room investment of $1,850 could look different depending various payment paths.
• Rite of Origin Payment Plan: $500 deposit + scheduled remaining payments to be completed before the retreat.
• Affirm financing (example only): $500 deposit and approximately $113/month for 12 months at 0% APR for qualified customers.Actual terms and approval vary.

To reserve your spot, a $500 non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking. This secures your place in a small, intentionally limited group.
Because of the nature of these retreats and the advance planning involved, the following policy applies:
Cancellations made 30 days or more before the retreat start date:
Any payments made beyond the $500 deposit will be refunded.Cancellations made within 30 days of the retreat:
Payments are non-refundable.If you are unable to attend, you may transfer your spot to another person with prior approval.
In certain circumstances, we may be able to apply your payment (minus the deposit) as a credit toward a future retreat. This is not guaranteed and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
If we need to cancel the retreat for any reason, you will receive a full refund, including your deposit.

Each retreat offers a limited number of rooms, with options ranging from shared spaces to private rooms. Pricing varies based on room type.
Rooms are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are secured once your deposit is received and your room preference is selected.
If you’re attending with a friend, we’ll do our best to place you together in a shared room. If you’re coming on your own, we’ll thoughtfully match you with another guest.
You have the option to pay in full or choose a payment plan for the remaining balance after your $500 deposit.
Because of the limited number of rooms and the intentional size of each retreat, room selections are final once booked.

We believe that spirituality = authenticity. Our retreats don't center around any particular devotional practice, but rather, we seek to encourage the divinity within you. It doesn't matter if you meditate or have a spiritual practice, we only ask that you come with an open mind and heart.
