We don’t Retreat, We Return.
Kinship Returns: Reweaving Wealth into the Web of Life
In a time when traditional philanthropic models falter under the weight of systemic collapse, Kinship Returns offer a transformative path forward. These immersive retreats invite philanthropists, wealth stewards, and change-makers to find our role in creating cultures of care strong enough to transcend capital.
Kinship Returns are immersive retreats to reconnect you with the ancestral wisdom and ecological knowledge that sustain your life and those around you. Guided by skilled eco-somatic practitioners and wisdom keepers from many lineages, the journeys repair connections to land, community, and purpose.

“The measure of our compassion lies not in our service of those on the margins, but in our willingness to see ourselves in kinship. And so… movement towards awe, and giant steps away from judgment.”
