EQUINOX MARCH 2026 – Release, Realign, Rebirth
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, depleted, or disconnected?
Do you sense the need for a deep soul reset?
There are moments in time when change is not just possible, but destined, and 2026 is one of them.
The Autumn Equinox on 20 March 2026 marks a powerful threshold, the energetic beginning of a new cycle of change. Amplified by rare planetary alignments, it offers a profound opportunity for you to pause, release what has run its course, and realign with a deeper truth within.
Join John Homewood and Michelle McClunan in the breathtaking Hogsback Mountains for a transformational four-day journey of release, realignment, and rebirth.
You will leave with an open heart, a lighter spirit, and practical tools to meet life with greater clarity, ease, and confidence.
Complete liberation of my entire being/my soul – it was/is so empowering. Thank you for allowing me to just be ‘me’. Loved the flow of the retreat and its variety of activities and nature time. Many thanks John & Michelle – you two are amazing & work really well as a team.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. – Ryan O’Connor
Over four immersive days, John Homewood and Michelle McClunan, two teachers with more than 40 years of combined experience gently guide you into a space where profound and lasting change becomes possible.
Together, they weave a rich tapestry of practices designed to meet you on every level:
- Deep meditations that quiet the mind and open the heart
- Process-oriented art sessions that are both profound and joyfully creative
- Practical tools to help you navigate change & challenge
- Energy body movement practices to restore flow, vitality, and inner coherence
- Immersive nature walks that reconnect you with the living rhythms of the Earth
Each element is offered not as a technique to master, but as a doorway into deeper presence and self-trust.
This isn’t just any journey; it’s a pilgrimage back to your soul self.
Together, the Equinox and the unique cosmic cycles of early 2026 create a powerful window for deep inner change.
Old patterns can fall away with greater ease, clarity can emerge, and a more authentic way of living can begin to take shape.
Are you ready to release what is no longer aligned and step into a more vibrant, self-assured expression of who you are?
Your transformation is waiting. Now is the time to step into it.
Along the way, you will experience the joy of connecting with like-minded souls, fellow seekers of truth, trust, and ease. Deep bonds form here, rooted in shared stories, laughter, and genuine support, connections that continue to nourish you long after the retreat ends.

John and Michelle, you have held this workshop with tremendous love and deep consciousness. Everything from the venue, to the walks, to the art, has really been done with heart.” Rehana

John you have the most inspiring way of presenting Universal truths. What you say and most of all how you say it is fantastic !
Michelle your space holding and empathic ability is extraordinary and the art processes you facilitated are often deeply profound in terms of suppressed emotions or trauma coming to the surface for healing but in a most gentle and undramatic way“. ANTOINETTE
