BE PREPARED TO
Wake-Up, Grow-Up and Show-Up
Our retreats are not for everyone. Let it be known, it is not ‘Wellness 101’. It’s not yoga poses, cleansing smoothies and high-fives.
If you think you know retreats your have only skimmed the surface. Other retreats, which can prime for insight and inspiration on one hand, can also be psychologically and philosophically shallow, spiritually and scientifically superficial.
In the age of the charlatan sharman we need masterful meaning-makers and savvy seekers. You won’t believe how fun being in the Dirt can be.
Attendance at Dirt Temple is not passive; it is participatory.

At Dirt Temple you will walk away not just transformed but trained
At Dirt you will literally leave holding a grimoire to guide you. A tangible template to help you scaffold the sacred within your own life. In an age overrun by psycobabble and sloppy spirituality, this level of intellectual rigor is revolutionary. It is contemporary with a twist of ancestry. Initiatory as well as explanatory.
Over 3 profundity packed days you will encounter a masterfully crafted, immersive experience that weaves together;
- music, myth and mindfulness,
- eroticism and ecocentrism
- craft, ceremony and contemplation
- sacraments, song and sermon
- breathwork and bodywork.
Participants will be safely and expertly held through a deeply transformational initiation. It is a practice-first space to discover and deepen the master virtues of Curiosity and Compassion. Seeding virtues and weeding out vices, Dirt Temple is not a holiday, but a homecoming that goes far beyond ‘wellness 101.’
Dirt is grounded in the clinical expertise of Deidre Steadman (Principal Psychologist) and Rob Griffin (Senior Social Worker) who together bring over 30 years of combined experience with trauma-informed metacognitive, somatic, meditative, contemplative, experiential therapies.
You Need To
Understand
It’s a touch exclusive, but for good reason. Dirt is a multifaceted metaphor for our troubled times. It is a homage to the ground beneath our feet, a return to sacred soil and deep roots. It is a metaphor for rooting back down into the messy, dark truth of existence rather than the airy-fairy, wishy-washy, love-and-light-obsessions of current pop psychology and shallow spirituality.
Our Dirt Temple Retreat is for those standing in the centre of spirituality and philosophy, science and psychology – people who feel the deep ache of disconnection in a world oversaturated with information yet starved of wisdom.
Dirt Temple is a place of reconnection and reclamation. A remembrance that meaning and wisdom are not only in the ‘light’ but in the loam.
