Joy and Elaine invite you to experience a sacred retreat at the 4 Trees Sanctuary.

​

4 Trees Sanctuary, located in the beautiful PNW on Bainbridge Island, offers a tranquil sanctuary for solo retreats. Our experiences cater to those seeking silence and reflection. Surrounded by four trees in the cardinal directions, experience peace and rejuvenation. Retreats at 4 Tree Sanctuary are rooted in 4 core values: Safety, Hope, Awakening, and Flow. Come connect with the more than human world and yourself on a solo retreat.

​

Are you ready for a solo retreat designed for introverts, by introverts?
Or maybe you're seeking quiet time alone?

What to Expect During a Solo Retreat

​

Join us on Bainbridge Island for a solo retreat where you will have spaciousness to listen to the land. Each day you will be supported with 1-2 hours of guided energy-healing practices to help you ground, recenter, and align with your intentions. Experience a tailored 3-night retreat that caters to your individual needs and intentions. Our personalized approach ensures that you receive the care and attention necessary for a transformative and holistic healing journey.

 

Joy and Elaine facilitate forest therapy, sound healing, and Pranic Healing, and can connect you with additional practitioners depending on your intentions for the retreat.

 

While each retreat is curated for the individual, you can expect:

  • to slow down to be with the land and to listen to your heart; 

  • calming sounds of alchemy crystal singing bowls accompanied by birdsong;

  • gentle energy alignment with your intentions;

  • support and reflection to connect to the more-than-human-world.

 

In the spaciousness to be with the land, you can walk the solstice spiral, sit by the pond to watch the woodland creatures who frequent the waters, and find your own special sit spot. Cozy up inside the Bunny Burrow and sleep among the roots of the trees where your dreams are supported by ancient knowing.

 

4 Trees Sanctuary is within walking distance to 90 acres of park, a water front trail that winds through old-growth trees, and less than 2 miles to the magnificent 240 acres of The Grand Forest.

Glennie Kindred, In The Earth’s Cycle of Celebration, reminds us as the sunlight shifts toward the dark half of the year this is a “time to connect to our root energy, to reflect, to journey into our unconscious and the spirit realms. Now we must make time to rest.”

Why retreat at
4 Trees Sanctuary?

​

"When I think about the difference of being at 4 Trees Sanctuary from other experiences, it's the overwhelming sense of grounding because of the

roots of the forest. 

 

From the moment you enter the Sanctuary, to every morning waking up in the Bunny Burrow, there is an invitation to root, to ground, and to heal. It's a 24-hr. hug from the forest. It's the trees' home, timing, climate, and you are a welcomed old friend."
