A few weeks ago, the Hollyhock Leadership Institute hosted Activate 2026.

"Activate is about bringing together people who are working every single day toward human rights, justice, climate, more-than-human rights, and giving them a space to learn from one another, to share their challenges, to develop their skills, to rest, and most importantly, to develop a network of people who support each other day to day and year-round.”

We had the honour of having Saru Jayaraman, President of One Fair Wage join for Activate 2026.

Saru Jayaraman: “Everybody says they’re looking after the working class, and nobody actually is. We have two parties in the U.S. Both claim to be for working people, but neither has raised the wage. Right now, the cost of living is by far the top issue determining every election – determining everything.”

Exhaustion. Overwhelm. Anxiety.

These are the three words I hear most often—in retreats, in my inbox, and among friends. The world can feel heavy, and most of us are carrying more than we might even realize. We are conditioned to downplay how what’s happening in the collective seeps into our personal lives.

To be overwhelmed is an honest response to a moment in which so much is going on in our shared world... [Read the Full Blog]

Peru Equinox Retreat 2027: A Sacred Invitation to Balance & Renewal ✨

We are thrilled to share this extraordinary adventure with you - The Peru Equinox Retreat | March 13–22, 2027

For decades, Hollyhock has held space for deep personal transformation on Cortes Island. Now, we are expanding our horizons to the high Andes of Peru for a 10-day immersive journey. Aligned with the March Equinox—when day and night rest in perfect equality—this journey calls us to step out of reflection and into active creation.

This is not a conventional tour of Peru. This is an opportunity to listen deeply, learn with humility, and experience these sacred places through the stories, ceremonies, and traditions of the wisdomkeepers and elders who have cared for them for centuries. These teachings and knowledge have been passed down through generations and offer perspectives that often differ from conventional archaeological narratives.

On this retreat we will walk the sacred pathways of the Andes, visit six ancient temples and open ourselves up to Munay: the Quechua understanding of love, beauty, sweetness, and magic. We will be guided by traditional Wisdomkeeper Jhaimy Alvarez-Acosta.
Step out of the everyday grind and remember our place within the living web of life!

Peru Equinox Retreat 2027: A Sacred Invitation to Balance & Renewal ✨
Dates: March 13 – 22, 2027 Location: Cusco, Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu, Peru

✨ "I was grieving, I felt alone, and I was clouded with doubt... Satya’s ceremonial retreat was part of a great shift in my life." ✨

In times of grief, confusion, or heavy family dynamics, it can be hard to find a solid foundation. But when we connect with the sacred wisdom of our ancestors, profound healing and transformation become possible.

Read what past participant Jeannine Wakely shared about her experience in Satya's ancestral healing space:

"Satya guided us beautifully through the sacred wisdom of her ancestors, and introduced me to a way of seeing and feeling the world that I could carry with me long after the ceremony ended... When I felt my Grandmother, her mother and her mother’s mother place their hands on my back in support, I knew without a doubt that this life is more than it appears... I am celebrating rebuilding my family with more love and more acceptance."
— Jeannine Wakely

If you are seeking to step into greater strength ("I CAN"), faith ("THEY CAN"), and love ("WE CAN"), we invite you to join us for Sacred Roots: Ancestral Healing Through Yoga, Breath & Ceremony with Satya.

Through yoga, breathwork, reflection, and sacred ceremony, you’ll be guided into a space where you can connect with deep, pure ancestral love, release old clouds of confusion, and build an unconditional foundation for yourself and future generations.
