ABOUT

Join Us This Year at Our Charming Summer Camp in Colton, Oregon!

Nestled under majestic cedar trees and serenaded by two gentle creeks, our venue offers the perfect backdrop for The Temple of Belonging—a five-day, four-night retreat designed for women ready to pause their daily routines and embrace peace, play, and connection.

Immerse Yourself in a Space Designed for Renewal and Joy: Our gathering is a sanctuary where you can share wisdom, savor good food, engage in meaningful conversations, and revel in the beauty of nature. It’s more than just a retreat; it’s a vibrant community experience that you’ll be tempted to make a permanent part of your life!

Inclusivity is at Heart: We welcome all who identify as women, and deeply value creating brave spaces for authenticity to flourish. There are intentional spaces for mama's and children, women who need more quiet and the ones who need more play, for the goddesses and the laid back babes and everything in between.

Choose your own adventure: With a wide and exciting variety of activities, you can customize your flow to reflect your personal journey and needs here at the Gathering.

It takes Courage to rebuild a culture of belonging: Your presence here is an offering to the world we all seek to reclaim, and when we gather in sincerity and sisterhood, anything is possible.

Honoring The Land

We humbly acknowledge that our programming is held on the traditional lands of the Molalla and Kalapuya people. We take this opportunity to offer respectful recognition to the Native communities in our region, and to those who have stewarded this land throughout the generations.

We recognize the continual displacement of Native people by the United States and are committed to work on dismantling the ongoing effects of this settler colonial legacy. Please join us in gratitude for the contributions Indigenous peoples have and continue to make to our community, country, and world.

Establishing a practice of acknowledgment can be a powerful first step toward correcting the stories and practices that erase indigenous people’s history and culture.

Through this simple gesture, we move toward inviting and honoring the truth, and countering the “doctrine of discovery” that our country was falsely founded upon.

Such statements become truly meaningful when coupled with authentic relationships and sustained commitment. Let us therefore consider how to move beyond words into programs and actions that fully embody a commitment to indigenous rights and cultural equity.
