Curious about a mental-health focused retreat? Plan to join us in October for Embodied Resilience: Mind-Body- Tools for Anxiety and Depression | Friday-Sunday | OCTOBER 2-4, 2026

Participants will practice a holistic approach to working with anxious and depressed states – combining time-honored mind-body practices, evidence-based therapy, and the healing arts, all in the context of supportive community.

Ariana Wakeman, LMSW, somatic psychotherapist and yoga teacher, together with Emily Adama, MSW and mindfulness meditation teacher, create a welcoming environment to explore deep practices designed to strengthen our resilience in moving through anxious and depressed states.

The weekend includes “restorative practices” aimed to calm the nervous system. These include guided sensory walk, body scan, sound bath, gentle yoga, breathing techniques, and optional massage. Restorative offerings allow opportunities for participants to practice the art of presence, even in the midst of challenging emotions, and strengthen pathways in the body and mind that feel safe, supported and stable.

The weekend also includes “inquiry practices” drawing from evidence-based tools including Internal Family-Systems, Mindfulness-based Cognitive therapy, and Mindfulness-based self-compassion. These accessible inquiry tools offer waysof relating to anxious and depressed thoughts, body sensations and emotions with greater skill, moving us toward states of greater curiosity, non-judgement and self-kindness.

Finally, Emily and Ari will guide optional group discussions where participants can share reflections on practices, learn from each other, and build community.

When we set down the phones, pour out the wine, and sit under a tree with nothing to do, something starts to come back. Softness. Wonder. Presence.
That's the whole invitation of Grounded. Three days at EarthWell to slow down, get honest, get a little dirty, and remember who you are without the noise.

RENTER SPOTLIGHT:
September 10 through 13, with Cheryl Thompson and Susan Morgan Bailey.

During retreats when weather allows, we offer our classes outside to connect more deeply with the more-than-human world, and allow nature to assist our practices. As EarthWell's three core practices are: Mindfulness | Yoga | Nature Connection

07/24/2026

RENTER SPOTLIGHT: Three nights at EarthWell, September 10 through 13, with Cheryl Thompson and Susan Morgan Bailey. Sound baths, sit spots, fire-tending, and long unstructured hours under the trees.
Phones rest. So does the noise.

Some seasons ask a quiet question: who am I becoming now? Grounded [...] is a weekend for sitting with that question.
Not answering it fast.
Just getting quiet enough to hear it.
Fourteen people. Off-grid cabins. Catered meals.

Emily shares a little story of one participant who has developed a relationship with EarthWell in a way we love to see: returning seasonally to really support deeper healing and growth in our real lives outside of "retreats". This is why we keep our retreats affordable (sliding-scale and scholarships available). Listen to learn more...

"I recently attended a Yoga and Meditation retreat at EarthWell and the experience exceeded all expectations. A sensory meditation walk with Emily, yoga under the trees with Ari, paddling in the pond (with a special visit from a snapping turtle), and Kori’s delicious, nourishing food were highlights of my weekend. The eco cabin was spotless and comfortable, with a screened porch where I enjoyed quiet evening sunsets and fireflies. I have already scheduled another retreat for myself, as well as a personal retreat for my partner and I to explore EarthWell together. Thank you, Emily and Ari for such a lovely experience."

"Please go check out Earthwell!!! Whether for a day program or a weekend retreat, whether you’ve never done yoga or meditation or do it 3 times a day, it’s so accessible for anyone. Emily and Ari were great facilitators with plenty of wisdom to share and the property itself brings so much peace and beauty. Do yourself a favor and go reset at Earthwell anyone and everyone could use it I can’t wait to go back. I did a weekend retreat and I’m so thankful I was able to have that opportunity. If funds are tight there are some scholarship opportunities that can be looked into. They’re doing a wonderful thing out there please support Earthwell!"
