Homecoming
A Midsummer Gathering
Sacred Evolutions Wisdom School
Lafayette, CO
June 20-23, 2026 — Saturday through Tuesday
Your body already knows what it needs.
Sunlight, stillness, movement, a body that can finally stop bracing, and connection with people who don't require you to shrink yourself to belong.
Most of us have spent years, if not decades, trying to heal without these things in place.
We've done the work — the therapy, practices, and we’ve been to the retreats.
Something shifts…for a while. Then we return to the same conditions, and the shift dissolves.
This is not a failure of will. It is a failure of Ground.
What this gathering is
Four days together at the Summer Solstice — the moment in the year when the Creative Spirit, our Heart Fire, is most expressed, most radiant, and most visible.
We will meet at a community house in Lafayette, Colorado, step outside into the longest light of the year, and learn together what it actually takes for self-healing to activate in our bodies and minds.
We will create the conditions for healing to happen, together.
What We Will Explore Together
There are three essential things your body systems need to heal. Not thirty. Three.
Ground: the living field your healing has to root into. We will learn what it actually is, why it is irreducibly relational, and how to begin building it.
Capacity: the ability to hold more of your own aliveness without bracing against it. We will practice growing it, gently and incrementally, day by day.
Liberation: what it actually means to free survival energy your body has been holding for years... and transform it into the life force you were meant to move with.
You will leave with more than a set of practices.
You will leave knowing how to meet what arises — every day, in every season — with curiosity, compassion, and strength.
This is the core of everything I teach, in its simplest essence.
It is how we heal, it is how we grow, and it will change your life.
What our four days will look like
Sessions run 10 am–5 pm. Lunches are ordered in together and snacks and tea will be provided throughout the day.
Saturday evening, we gather outside for the Solstice with food, story, and song on the longest day of the year.
You find your own lodging in the Lafayette/Boulder area; there are good options nearby.
Who this is for
I am here for those who have done the work — the therapy, the practices, the retreats — and still feel something fundamental hasn't shifted. Who know there is more available to them than they've been able to reach. Who feel too much, live at the edge, and are ready to stop managing their sensitivity and start living from it.
And for those of you who are already bright lights in the world — who give, who lead, and hold space for others — and who are quietly exhausted by it. Not because something is wrong with you, but because fire without ground burns through itself.
And for those of you who carry a vision you can feel but cannot yet fully manifest, who hold something large and true and find the gap between what you see and what you can bring into form quietly maddening.
That gap is not a failure of will or imagination. It is a capacity question.
This is where we build it. All of it. Together.
I am here for those who feel too much, who live at the edge, and who are ready to stop apologizing for the fire in them.
This gathering is open to current and past students, and to anyone who wants to explore this work.
If someone you know belongs here, bring them.
There won't be strangers, only people finding their way back to something they already recognize.

Your Guide
I'm Ro Marlen — wisdom teacher and keeper of the European Wise Woman tradition.
For nearly thirty years, I have been working with one question: what does a human being actually need to heal and grow into who they are here to become?
The answer, it turns out, is simple. Not easy — simple. A handful of conditions, a few core practices, and the willingness to let them work. Everything I have learned, everything I teach, everything that has changed lives in my thirty years of work grows from these basics.
This gathering is where I teach them directly. In person. Together. Because some things only land in the body when we are in community.
