Personal Growth Retreat for Life Transitions Featuring Symbolic Side Quests in the USA

When life calls for a bold next step, the best answers are often whispered by your inner world—not shouted by the outside. Symposium: The First Gathering is a retreat for life transitions and personal growth, designed specifically for adults navigating change—career shifts, endings and beginnings, creative rebirths, or quiet inner reckonings.

Held November 4–9, 2025, this six-day transformational journey unfolds in a sacred arc—mirroring the classic mythic path: departure, initiation, and return. The retreat experience draws deeply from symbolic narrative, embodied ritual, and forest-based ceremony to help you uncover your own way through.

At this life transition retreat in California, guests explore personal myth through creative exercises like side quests, journaling, movement, and sacred council. You won’t just reflect on your story—you’ll step into it, live it, and return changed.
