Earth Element · Harvest & Nourishment
The Elemental Journey Around the Sun (Weekend 6)
September 19–20, 2026
Saturday & Sunday | 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Ashland, Oregon
The sixth weekend of The Elemental Journey Around the Sun is guided by the Earth element and Late Summer— the energy of harvest, digestion, integration, and the steady center that holds all seasons.
As summer transitions toward autumn, we explore nourishment not only as food, but as relationship — how we digest our experiences, tend our intellect, and cultivate balance in the middle ground.
This weekend includes a special Breaking Bread Celebration, honoring the harvest season and the community that has formed within the cohort.
Weekend Focus

Digestion, nourishment, and the digestive system through an elemental lens
