Soul Nourishment

Pathways to radical hope

Come Back to Yourself

Seasoned guides Jurian Hughes and David Wallace invite you to a weekend workshop for the weary, the wondering, and the wide-awake. In this time of uncertainty, grief, and relentless noise, we can easily forget the most essential act of resistance: coming back to ourselves. Soul Nourishment is a weekend immersion designed to do exactly that. Through the ancient and intimate languages of poetry, movement, breath, and honest conversation, we create a sanctuary where something tender can be remembered—and something fierce can be reclaimed.

This is not a retreat from the world. It is a return to what makes you capable of living in it fully. Together, we’ll move through practices that loosen what’s held too tightly, illuminate what’s been kept in the dark, and remind us that hope is not naïve; it is an act of profound courage.

You don’t need to have it together to come. You just need to come.

In this program, you will experience:

  • Poetry and journaling as doorways into emotion and meaning
  • Soul-penetrating discussion—the kind of conversation that changes you and reminds you that you’re not alone
  • Meditation and breathwork to regulate, restore, and reconnect
  • Movement and dance to release what words cannot reach

Walk away with a renewed sense of personal agency and inner strength, tools for sustaining hope and resilience in daily life, and a deeper relationship with your own voice, body, and wisdom. Come as you are. Leave more fully yourself.
