The Stories We Tell

January 20–21

A Women’s Relational Ceremony
Silverthorne, Colorado

We warmly invite you to join us in a day designed to explore the stories we carry—how they live in the body, how they move through relationships, and how they change when we are given time, presence, and care.

The focus is not on what you share, but on how you share:

  • the rhythm

  • the pauses

  • the emotions

  • the meaning your body assigns to your words

This experience is intentionally spacious.

You are invited to speak, to listen, to rest, to move between spaces, or simply to be present with whatever arises.

Everything is optional.

  • Treehouse Journeying is a small, intimate relational ceremony for women who are curious about exploring their inner world in the presence of other women.

    Through guided ceremony, somatic practices, and intentional group process, this gathering supports self-inquiry, emotional processing, and connection—both with yourself and within a carefully held group.

    This is not about having breakthroughs, sharing perfectly, or knowing what you are doing.
    It is about slowing down, listening inward, and being met as you are.

    No prior experience with group ceremony is required.

  • We will gather in a private home along the Blue River in Silverthorne, surrounded by high alpine meadow and mountain quiet.

    The space includes:

    • A shared living room for relational and group work

    • Quiet bedrooms for rest and privacy

    • Outdoor access for walking, sitting by the river, or fresh air

    You are welcome to move freely throughout the day, following your energy and needs as they evolve.

  • Arrival

    • Optional: Monday, January 19 after 4pm
      Informal arrival, settling in, shared or individual dinner

    • Required: Tuesday, January 20 by 10:30am

    Ceremony Day – Tuesday

    • 11am grounding and opening circle

    • Guided relational and somatic practices

    • Spacious time for rest, sharing, and quiet

    • Simple shared soup and snacks

    • Closing circle sometime between 6–8pm, guided by group flow

    Integration & Closing – Wednesday

    • Slow morning with time for nature, reflection, and gentle movement

    • Coffee and breakfast available

    • 9am–12pm: integration circle and closing ritual

  • This is a relational ceremony that supports inward awareness while also inviting reflection and connection through community.

    You may share openly.
    You may listen quietly.
    You may cry, laugh, rest, or sit in silence.

    There is no expectation to participate in any specific way.

    If sharing in a group feels intimidating, that is okay. Many women arrive feeling exactly that way. You are encouraged to go slowly, listen to your body, and engage only as much as feels right.

    The group itself becomes part of the experience—and you are always in choice.

  • This is a shared space, not a performance space.

    You do not need to know how to “hold space.”
    You do not need to say the right thing.
    You do not need to be emotionally skilled or regulated.

    Your presence is enough.

    Holding space, when it happens, simply means being present if and when you have the capacity. Listening, sitting nearby, breathing together, or saying nothing at all are all valid.

    Touch is never assumed and always requires consent.

  • Your primary responsibility is to care for yourself and advocate for your needs.

    You might want:

    • Warmth, rest, or quiet

    • Connection or solitude

    • Tears, laughter, movement, or stillness

    • Time in nature or time inside

    All of this is welcome.

    Facilitators are present throughout the day to support you, and you are never alone in navigating your experience.

  • This experience may be a good fit if you:

    • Are curious about inner exploration in a group setting

    • Want depth without pressure or performance

    • Value choice, consent, and nervous system safety

    • Feel drawn, even if you are unsure

    If you are curious but hesitant, that is often a good place to begin.

Treehouse Gatherings

The Treehouse is an ongoing collaboration between Avery Collura, Meg Stevens, and Meghan Armstrong—a shared practice space for relational ceremony, deep listening, and intentional gathering.

Some offerings at the Treehouse are for women. Some are mixed-gender or open to all.

All are held with the same core values: presence, consent, slowness, and care.

The Treehouse is not a fixed program. It is a living container that evolves through each group that gathers within it.

What the Treehouse Is

The Treehouse hosts small, intimate ceremonies and retreats designed to support inner exploration in relationship—with yourself, with others, and with the environment holding us.

These gatherings invite participants to slow down and step out of everyday roles, expectations, and performance. The emphasis is on how we are together, not on producing insight or outcome.

You might find yourself:

  • Listening more closely to your body

  • Exploring personal stories and relational patterns

  • Being witnessed without pressure to explain or resolve

  • Resting, reflecting, and reconnecting with what matters

  • Practicing presence rather than fixing

There is no requirement to share in any particular way.

You are always in choice.
