Signature Retreat
Dirt Temple is for those who feel saturated by surface-level information and are drawn toward something more grounded.
Our retreats were created as a deliberate counter-movement to the meaning crisis.
A space to wake up, grow up then show up; masterfully and maturely.
It is a re-orientation to something deeper and older.
Not escape but return.
True renewal doesn’t come from replacing one belief system with another. It arises from creating space – away from noise, pressure and performance. Where meaning can be remembered and wisdom can be embodied.

3 Day Retreat – Where Meaning Can Be Touched Again
Day
1
Wake Up
Opening ceremony, drumming circle, listening to land, sensory epicureanism, meditation sermon, story and shadow work
Day one establishes ethical and relational foundations. It introduces key principles that underpin the rest of your growth across the retreat.
Through rhythm, shared meals, land-based practice, and mythos you will build your inner capacity to hold ‘self’ through challenge and change, while simultaneously learning to meet ‘other’ emotionally, somatically and cognitively.
Safety, curiosity and energetic boundaries are explored through kinship and kithship. This is a day for listening rather than intellectualising.
For noticing the quiet sacredness woven through the ordinary.
Day
2
Grow Up
Breath and bodywork, medicine drumming, craft, wine rite, conscious rope work, anointing and attunement
Day two places emphasis on embodied and relational practices revolving around compassion.
At the heart of Dirt Temple is sustainable transformation and ethical altered-state work. These deep practices are not to titillate or fascinate but are the living center of the Dirt ethos.
What is learned on day one becomes embodied through direct experience on day two – staying grounded and curious in the midst of decentering practices.
You will be introduced to the protocols of safe ceremony and right ritual; guided by the dual traditions of scientism and neo-shamanism.
You will deepen your connection to community, awaken your unique gifts and hone your sensitivities.
Day
3
Show Up
Breath and bodywork, philosophical fellowship, and closing ceremony
Day three is about returning – not by leaving everything behind, but by carrying what has been touched back into ordinary life.
The final day supports integration and balance. Emphasis is placed on discernment, sustainability, ethical application and applied practice beyond the retreat.
You will be supported to synthesise your experience and anchor change back into the personal, the familial and the communal.
To ensure that transformation is not transient but becomes lived wisdom.

The Pilgrimage
A rare gathering where the work becomes highly personal
Dirt Temple’s most private and intimate 3 Day offering.
For a small number of guests each year Dirt Temple opens a different kind of space.
The Pilgrimage is an intimate, highly personalised experience for just four to six participants, designed for those who prefer depth over scale.
Rather than following a fixed retreat structure, this gathering unfolds through a series of bespoke encounters – individual and small-group sessions shaped around the personal intentions and thresholds of those present.
Each participant receives exclusive, substantial one-to-one time, allowing the work to be tailored with unusual care and attention.
This is the gold standard in transformational work and calls to those ready to cross a personal threshold.
All-Inclusive Retreat
Held in a private and secluded setting and fully hosted, The Pilgrimage is all-inclusive and designed with the quiet luxuries that have become the hallmark of Dirt Temple retreats. Supported by dedicated facilitators, extraordinary culinary experiences and guided moments of careful reflection, conversation and renewal.
Retreat Dates
This offering is not scheduled frequently and places are intentionally limited. For those who feel drawn to this format, The Pilgrimage provides a rare and precious opportunity to enter Dirt Temple’s inner sanctum in a way that is slower, more personal and deeply resourced.

Summit Retreat
A container for kinship – where the collective gather to find new perspectives
2 Day Retreat – Where The Pace Softens
The Summit Retreat offers a spacious pause for those working within demanding professional environments who sense the value of stepping back in order to move forward.
Gathering 10-14 participants, this retreat emphasises the power of collective experience.
Through shared practices, guided conversations, eco-psychology and periods of quiet contemplation, participants enter a rhythm that allows perspective to emerge wisely.
It is not productivity or performance that are magnified but clarity and creativity.
Accommodation is comfortable and welcoming with some shared rooms and all meals provided.
With the same grounded and deep roots characteristic of Dirt Temple retreats The Summit is for those wanting to slow the pace, and be held in a container that supports reflection, recalibration and renewal.
Collective Experience
For organisations, professionals or leadership groups wishing to attend together, Dirt Temple Guides will partner with you to thoughtfully shape your experience around relevant questions, themes or intentions that matter to your team.
Rather than a standard program, your experience is designed to support the deeper conversations and grounded perspectives that can be hard to seed within the pace of working life.

You
Belong Here
Dirt Temple is for people who are already initiated – and know that something essential is missing.
It is for those who are intelligent, capable and often outwardly successful, yet sense that much of contemporary spirituality, self-development or wellness operates at the level of altitude rather than depth.
It is practice-first, not belief-based. It is a mature counterpoint to spiritual cliches and pop-psychology. If this resonates, you’re invited to explore whether Dirt Temple is the right fit.
