Retreats & Events in the Pacific Northwest
We’re an intentional, cooperative community in the Greater Tacoma and Mt. Rainier area, where like-minded people come together for retreats, events, and meetups. Through our equitable co-op model, we nurture local connections, share experiences, and create space for everyone to feel part of something bigger.
Our Values
We’re committed to making this a space where everyone feels welcome, respected, and safe to show up as themselves. Our community embraces people of all identities and backgrounds, including those in the trans and queer communities and others whose safety or belonging is too often under threat. We believe connection is strongest when we can gather across differences, share perspectives, and support one another in working toward a more just and compassionate world.

Our Programming
From skill-sharing workshops to seasonal gatherings, everything we offer is designed to bring together people who share a love for connection, creativity, and the Pacific Northwest. It’s how we turn shared interests into a living, breathing community.
Retreats
Held in some of the Pacific Northwest’s most beautiful spots, our five-day retreats are a chance to slow down and experience community in its truest form. From collaborative workshops to evenings spent together over good food, every moment is shaped by the people in the room and the place we share.

Events
Held throughout the Pacific Northwest, our events bring the local community together around shared interests, creative pursuits, and a love for the region we call home. From hobby-focused meetups to seasonal celebrations, every gathering is shaped by the people who show up and the connections they create.

Community
Think of our intentional community as the heartbeat behind every retreat and event—a place where the connections don’t fade when the gathering ends. It’s where you’ll find people who get what you’re about, share your passions, and always have somewhere to turn when you’re ready for your next adventure.
Monthly Meetups
Always held at Camp Lakeview in Graham, these are casual, consistent, and designed to keep our intentional community growing between bigger gatherings.
Make & Play Night
A community tradition you can count on every month, this built-in hangout is where new friendships spark and familiar faces become part of your circle. Settle in at the craft table with a project you’ve brought or try something from our supply stash, jump into a board game, or just enjoy some catching up.
Breathwork & Brunch
For ninety minutes, you’re guided through a breathwork journey that pulls you out of the noise and deep into yourself. When we surface, you’ll gather around the table for a home-cooked, buffet-style brunch—plates piled high, mimosas pouring freely, and conversation that lingers long after the last bite.
Mark Your Calendars
From monthly traditions to one-of-a-kind gatherings, here’s what’s next for our community.
Circle the dates, text your friends, and get ready—these are the moments you won’t want to miss.
