Retreat Program

We all feel a little bit lost sometimes. Disconnected from who we are.

More often than not, we are simply afraid of making a big change. It feels like standing at the edge of a cliff and we are terrified that we might fall. But what if instead, we could fly?

Embark on a transformative retreat designed to awaken your soul, heal your spirit, and reconnect with your truest self. Rituals of Awakeninginvites you to step away from the noise of daily life and immerse yourself in a sacred space where profound self-discovery and spiritual renewal become possible.

This extraordinary journey combines contemplative practices, ancient and modern healing modalities, and intimate group experiences to guide you through a powerful process of letting go, awakening inner wisdom, and cultivating a life of purpose and balance. Through forest bathing, guided meditation, breathwork, sound healing, and reflective exercises, you will shed the layers that no longer serve you and reconnect with the radiant essence of who you are.

Imagine waking up to serene mornings, grounding your body through soulful practices, and embracing evenings filled with connection, ritual, and renewal. Surrounded by a community of like-minded souls, you’ll feel safe, supported, and inspired to do the inner work that truly matters: going deep inside and finding the essence of your heart.

This isn’t just a retreat—it’s a profound homecoming to yourself. Whether you’re seeking spiritual healing, clarity, or a deeper understanding of your purpose, Rituals of Awakening offers the sanctuary and guidance you need to embark on the most important journey of all: the one within.

Are you ready to say yes to yourself? Don’t wait—your awakening begins here.

Riverledge Farm

Venue Info

With its beautiful views, the valley at Riverledge Farm is a respite for anyone who wants to focus on the here and now. Surrounded by gorgeous gardens and hillside views, our multi-building main campus sets the scene for serenity with comfortable lodging options in our Farmhouse suites and an authentic 1808 barn.

This land holds many tales of folklore and function over its 200 year history. The Abenaki used the valley and hills to source fish and game in the warmer months and retreated to fairer climes during the brutal winters. As the British and French empires fought to exert influence, settlers began to stake claims in the area of Tomlinson, a town known to us today as Grafton.

In 1790, David Palmer, a veteran of the Revolutionary War, began to build a multigenerational farm on a hill overlooking Riverledge Farm.

In 1808, Riverledge Farm was established next to Saxtons River, 2 miles south of downtown Grafton, VT. Since then, it has been painstakingly renovated and maintained by multiple owners for over two centuries. Riverledge Farm in southern Vermont is truly a piece of living history that connects you to the past, and stays a part of your future.
