FAQ’s

The Verdancy Project

What if I can’t make all 4 retreat dates?

We understand these dates won’t align for everyone. You are welcome to sign up for as many as you can attend. Choose the individual retreat pricing option.

What do I need to bring?

We will send a detailed list before each retreat, but in general, please consider bringing:

  • Your water bottle 

  • Journal and writing tool

  • Something to sit on like a yoga mat, camp chair, blanket, or boltster

  • Comfortable layered clothing for ease of movement and fluctuating temperatures 


Do I have to stay for the land stewardship?

No, this is completely optional. It is a wonderful way to extend your retreat time and feel a deeper sense of connection to the land, however we totally get that it is more of a time commitment and not for everyone.

What will I be doing if I stay for the land stewardship part?

The first part of our time together will be spent learning about the project, the plants, and proper removal. We will be working with plants that are considered invasive, yet still provide powerful medicine and food! We will work slowly and mindfully to create a new creative space at TVP. No experience is necessary.

The second half of your time will be your own! A chance to explore the pockets of whimsy around the land, bring a book, personal project, or take a nap and day dream.

This is the gift of reciprocity.

Along with the changing of seasons, our Land Stewardship project will change too. We will let you know what the project is before the retreat so you can be prepared. 

Do I qualify for a Scholarship?

We reserve scholarships for those who belong to historically and systemically marginalized groups; If you are BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, disabled/chronically ill or supporting someone who is, or low income. If your recent financial situation has suddenly changed. Please reach out to claim your scholarship so we can help support you. 

Where is The Verdancy Project?

TVP is located in Troutdale, OR 30 minutes east of Portland.

Will there be an inside space for warmth in the colder months?  

Yes! TVP has a beautiful heated indoor artist’s space that we will meet in during the colder months. This will give us a place to gather and warm up in between our time on the land.
