Hello! We’re Gwen & Libby (we/us) and we’re dreaming of golden hour days with you in the valley. We’re committed to a Culture of Gathering, a way of coming together that puts us in practice around care - the ways we breathe, center, connect. The first time we met we bonded over late night poetry and conversations about liberation and community. We both arrived with the same library book, The Seed Keeper, by Diane Wilson in tow and knew whatever was happening was something special.

Since then, we’ve chosen to build a life and a community of practice together.

Gwen (she/they) brings past experience as an event producer and designer, and has been hosting “Sometimes Silent” retreats since 2018 - over 30 of them in the years since. She has a special gift for creating emergent spaces that honor and uplift our humanity with reverence and irreverence, sharing her love of poetry, rest as practice, and a place based awe that invites others into profound moments of both personal and collective healing.

Libby (she/they) is a holistic educator and facilitator, with a background in academia and evaluation. She offers practices that bridge the sometimes long distance between the head/heart/and center, offering somatic awareness and breathwork that invites us into more choice through the gifts of embodied presence. Believing transformative change is possible her work guides us toward the real-time possibilities of interdependence, and the deconstruction of oppressive structures.

As two distinct voices and skilled Circle keepers, we hold the harmony of the collective experience, offering many entrance points to practice and belonging.
