Rest is sacred.
Devotion is a vow.
Four days on a mountain
in the company of extraordinary teachers
and 40 leaders who know
that the most sacred act
is to be fully, deeply, wildly rested.
Come.
—— ✦ ——
Your sacred assignment
was given before you were born.
Rest is how you remember it.
Deep rest restores original vision. It reconnects you to your body's oldest wisdom. It returns you to the world more whole, more clear, more alive than when you left.
WHO THIS IS FOR
You are devoted.
To the work.
To the people.
Now to rest.
You lead movements, organizations, families, communities, rooms full of people who need you present. You have answered the call again and again. Your body has kept the score of every yes.
You have arrived at a place in your leadership where grinding feels like the old way. Where you can feel, somewhere beneath the calendar and the commitments, a deeper current wanting to move through you. Where rest feels less like a luxury and more like a lifeline. Like a portal. Like a practice.
This summit was designed for the leader who has done enough inner work to know that what they need next is stillness held by mastery — and community held by trust.
✦ You lead with your whole self and you are ready to replenish your whole self
✦ You have a sacred assignment that requires you to be alive — fully, not partially
✦ You are the one others come to rest in, and you are ready for a place to land yourself
✦ You move between the spiritual and the strategic with ease and you want four days that honor both
✦ You believe rest is a form of resistance, a form of wisdom, a form of love
✦ You are ready to dream again — not plan, dream
What these four days
feel like.
Restorative
Your nervous system exhales. The mountain air does something to your shoulders you didn't ask it to. You sleep the way you slept as a child — fully, without surveillance. You wake up and your first thought isn't a task. You eat slowly. You notice things. The fog lifts. Something older and wiser rises up to meet you.
Deeply Reflective
Something clarifies when the noise stops. The questions you've been too busy to sit with begin to answer themselves. Old dreams resurface. New ones take root. You discover you already know what you've been asking. The practices — nidra, sound, ceremony, movement — create the inner conditions for real reflection. The kind that changes things.
Joyful
There is laughter that comes from somewhere you forgot you had. There is the particular joy of being in a room full of people who understand exactly what you carry and have chosen to set it down beside you. There is music. There is fire. There is the particular satisfaction of doing absolutely nothing and feeling it as abundance.
Nourishing
Every meal is prepared with care and intention. Every practice is led by someone who has devoted their life to what they bring. Every hour of free time is yours — the waterfall, the trails, the spa, the hammock, the journal, the silence. You leave full. Body, mind, spirit. Genuinely full in a way that lasts.
A TASTE OF THE EXPERIENCE
Four days.
Deeply curated.
Every session, every meal, every hour of free time is designed with intention. Here is a glimpse — a scent of what awaits. The full experience will reveal itself when you arrive.
DAY TWO · FRIDAY
Descend into Rest
A morning practice dedicated to the dreaming body — ancient, potent, alive.
—————
Three hours of unscheduled time. The waterfall. The spa. The silence.
—————
An afternoon of movement, joy, and the particular medicine of being truly seen.
—————
An evening fire. Open sky. No agenda. Just leaders, together.
DAY ONE · THURSDAY
Cross the Threshold
Arrive into music. The mountain receives you.
—————
A welcome dinner where strangers begin becoming community.
—————
An opening practice to set the container, the intention, the vow.
—————
An early night. Your first act of devotion.
DAY THREE · SATURDAY
Receive & Integrate
A long, deep, held rest practice. The body goes somewhere it needed to go.
—————
Three more hours of freedom. The trails. The writing. The nap you've been needing.
—————
A sound journey — harp, voice, vibration — that moves through you like water.
—————
A fire ceremony under an open mountain sky. Release. Prayer. Passage.
DAY FOUR · SUNDAY
Rise & Return
A final yoga nidra to carry you gently from the dream state into the day.
—————
A closing ceremony with the full faculty. What you gathered, held together.
—————
A farewell lunch. The long goodbye. The kind worth having.
—————
You leave. Changed. Rested. Ready.
THE FACULTY
Some of the most gifted
rest teachers around.
Octavia has gathered a faculty of teachers whose lives are the curriculum. Yoga nidra. Dream work. Sound healing. Movement. Ceremony. Coaching. Each one is rooted in lived practice. Each one has given years — in some cases decades — to the work they will bring to this mountain.Faculty announcements coming soon. Join the waitlist to be among the first to know.
