The Growing Season: A Wine & Soul Retreat
$435.00

A group spiritual retreat based on my first book, The Growing Season: Contemplations on Wine and the Soul, which explores the intersection between vineyard, cellar, tasting room, and the soul. It's a closer look at the transformation that occurs from grape to glass, and what that process can teach us about what it means to flourish as human beings.

Our main sessions will draw on themes within the book, and provide opportunity for self-reflection, conversation, and spiritual practice. 

There will also be a couple of curated wine tastings, delicious meals, and ample time for individual silence, solitude, and rest.
