Growing Water Knowledge Retreat by Land Song - The Acreage at Osceola (Southwest)


Adult Enrichment / Trips, Tours & Special Events -
Adult Enrichment Fall 2025

October 4–5, 2025 | The Acreage of Osceola, Wisconsin

Come walk the path of water. Come remember.

There is a kind of knowing that lives beneath the surface — flowing through the land, the body, and the soul. Water carries that knowing. And when we listen, it speaks.

This October, you’re invited to join a community of Earth-hearted humans for a deeply immersive weekend into the living wisdom of water. Set on 360 acres of wild springs, creeks, and prairie at The Acreage of Osceola, this retreat weaves Indigenous ways of knowing with the latest scientific understanding — to guide you back into right relationship with water and self.

Together, we’ll remember how to listen.

What You Will Experience:

  • Hands-on exploration of water’s physical, energetic, and emotional properties
  • Water walks to natural springs, streams, and the sacred St. Croix River
  • Scientific insights into water’s structure, vitality, and hydration
  • A Water Bar experience to taste and compare tap, filtered, and wild waters
  • Personal water storytelling and guided journaling
  • Structured and wild water rituals for daily life
  • A personalized Water Plan to take home
  • An evening Celebration of Water with poetry and music by Ben Weaver
  • Time on the land and opt-out activities

This is more than a workshop. It’s a soul reflection through water.
