Earthbody Presence Presents
-A Sense of Place-
Seasonal Retreats at The Verdancy Project
The Verdancy Project is excited to partner with Earthbody Presence to offer a series of retreats through the four seasons.
Join us as we embark on a year-round journey of community, place, and embodied practice
Together we’ll gather for four retreats in the heart of each season, intentionally returning to the same place to feel the shifts in the land and how that reflects within our bodies, hearts, and minds.
Guided practices will be woven into each seasonal retreat to connect you with yourself, the Earth, and sacred community. We’ll offer embodied meditation, movement, simple ritual, and forest bathing invitations. All of these experiences will be shared with authentic community. Join us for all four retreats and experience the full seasonality of place and cultivate a deep relationship with this inspiring land.
Spring Retreat: May 3rd, 2025
Summer Retreat: July 19th, 2025
Fall Retreat: October 18th, 2025
Winter Retreat: January 31, 2026
We encourage you to join us for all four retreats, though options are available for participating in one, two, or three of these offerings. There are a few scholarships available.
The guided portion of the retreat takes place from 10:00am-1:00pm PST. You have the option to stay afterwards to eat lunch, steward the land, and independently explore the lush Verdancy Project ecosystem from 1:00pm-4:00pm.

Deepening connection to self, community, and the natural world
Earthbody Presence was founded by Julie Jansen and Morgan Pace Bolton in 2020 to support individuals and groups in cultivating and maintaining presence-based practices. We provide tools to meet the challenges and joys of being human through embodied movement, meditation, and connection to the natural world. Our practices are guided through a trauma-informed lens with equity and inclusion woven throughout our work. We are primarily based in Portland, Oregon in the Pacific Northwest.
