August 21-23 2026 Weekend

🌿 Deep Listening 🌬️👂

An Immersive Weekend of Connection, Creativity & Community
📅 August 21-23, 2026
📍 The Hearth • Grass Valley, CA

Join us for Deep Listening — a powerful and nourishing weekend retreat dedicated to attuning to ourselves, each other, and the land. Set at The Hearth, a homestead sanctuary in the Sierra foothills, this event brings together empathy practices, music improv and flow workshops, natural building, and embodied listening — all held in the arms of community and nature.

Whether you’re called to pick up a tool and shape something from the Earth, deepen your skills in emotional & communication fluency and authentic connection, or drop into the flow of improvised music and song, this gathering invites you to come as you are and listen deeply — to your inner voice, to each other, and to the land beneath your feet.

Here’s the fully integrated version with special guest performances and a clear highlight for Honey of the Heart:

🌿 Deep Listening at The Hearth

August 21–23, 2026 | The Hearth Village • Grass Valley, CA

What becomes possible when we truly listen—
to ourselves, to each other, and to the subtle intelligence of the land?

Deep Listening is a weekend immersion in connection, creativity, and community—
a living village where presence, expression, and relationship take center stage.

This is a space to slow down… soften… and remember how to be in real connection.

🌀 The Core Experience

Over three days, we co-create an immersive field of:

🎶 Live Music & Improvisation – music as a pathway into shared presence

💃 Movement & Dance Workshops – awakening the body’s natural intelligence

🎤 Singing & Vocal Opening – liberating your authentic voice

🧠 Empathy & Deep Listening Practices – cultivating relational awareness and attunement

🌲 Nature Connection – grounding into land, rhythm, and simplicity

This is a space to be seen, heard, and felt—without needing to perform.

💃 Featured Offering: Cocrea Dance – Embodied Flow

with Wren Lafeet

Through Cocrea Dance, Wren Lafeet guides participants into a deeply embodied exploration of connection through movement.

This is not about choreography—
it’s about presence in motion.

You’ll be invited into:

Relational movement and attunement

Somatic awareness and expression

Play, curiosity, and non-verbal communication

A powerful bridge between self-connection and shared experience.

🎶 Live Music & Special Performances

🌟 Special Guest Performances (TBA) – curated artists joining the weekend to bring unique musical offerings into the space

❤️ Honey of the Heart Live Set (Saturday Afternoon/Evening) – a featured performance weaving soulful harmonies, global rhythms, and heart-centered songwriting into a powerful communal experience

Music is not just something we watch—
it’s something we enter together.

🎶 Community Improvisation Jams

Throughout the weekend, we open space for collaborative, in-the-moment creation:

Musicians, movers, vocalists, and observers all welcome

No experience needed—just a willingness to listen and respond

Co-creating soundscapes, rhythms, and shared expression

A place where connection becomes music.

🔥 A Playful Offering: Tribal Speed Friending

Woven into the weekend is an optional, lighthearted experience:

✨ Tribal Speed Friending ✨

A guided, rotating series of short connection moments designed to spark:

Genuine human connection

Curiosity and play

Unexpected resonance

Not about dating.
Not about outcomes.

Just a chance to meet each other—quickly, honestly, and with presence.

💫 Why This Matters

In a world of surface-level interaction,
this is a return to connection as a lived, embodied experience.

Here, you may discover:

A deeper relationship with yourself

The courage to be seen more fully

New friendships and creative collaborations

A sense of belonging that lingers beyond the weekend

🌲 The Hearth Village Experience

Held on the land at The Hearth, just outside Grass Valley, this immersion invites you into:

A village-style, intimate group setting

Sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge resets

Fireside circles and spontaneous music

Space for both solitude and connection

Humans curious about expression, intimacy, and community

Creatives, facilitators, and seekers

Anyone ready to step into a more present, relational way of being
