Spots Are Filling Fast | Original Medicine Earth-Based Intensive Immersion Retreat | July 21–27, 2026

“Optional Title:

The redwoods are calling — and they’re not known for waiting. 🌲
Braided Wisdom’s Original Medicine Earth-Based Intensive Immersion Retreat is happening July 21–27, 2026 at Spirit Camp in the coastal redwoods of Mendocino, Northern California — and spots are going fast.
This isn’t your average Self-Care Retreat. It’s a week-long residential immersion weaving Buddhist Mindfulness Retreats, Indigenous wisdom, earth walks, ceremony, and solo wilderness time into one grounded living practice. Think Healing Retreats meets Healing Justice Retreats meets the most clarifying week of your year.
Led by five teachers — including Carol Cano (Spirit Rock), Carmen Alvarez (Purepecha & Toltec traditions), and Sarwang Parikh, LMFT — this is one of the most intentional Earth-Based Indigenous Retreats and Buddhist Retreats for BIPOC communities in Northern California. Whether you’re drawn to Indigenous Centered-Retreats, Earth-Based Community Retreats, or Retreats for BIPOC communities, this gathering was made for you.
Tiered, community-centered pricing. Limited Benefactor spots on a first-come, first-served basis.
