The Unstuck Weekend
With Skip Sumbera, Greg Murphy and Sarah Trapkus
August 14 - 16, 2026
You’re feeling stuck, and wondering what needs to change, but the first step is remembering who you’ve always been.
Let us support you in this remembering.
Heartwood provides the foundation: a place of relaxation, spaciousness, and permission to let go. Throughout the weekend, guided meditation and inquiry, reflective coaching, journaling, and immersive sound experiences build upon that foundation. This weekend is an invitation into stillness. A chance to step away from the noise, reconnect with yourself, and meet what’s actually here.
We See You
You feel stuck and it seems like life is conspiring to keep you there.
But what if your circumstance isn’t the problem? What if it’s how you’ve been relating to it?
You’re really good at ‘doing fine’ and not rocking the boat. You take on a lot – more than your share.
This is how you’ve learned to navigate the challenges of life, but this way of relating creates distance from yourself and from what matters most: the quiet wisdom that’s always available beneath the constant noise of your full life.
You’re so ready for something different, and yet you keep running the same patterns. The clarity you’re looking for doesn’t seem to come.
What if all it takes is learning to meet your experience differently? What if this is what opens the door to a completely different way of moving through life?
We know that replaying old decisions, wondering if you missed your window and loosing trust with yourself is only because you’re stuck in a pattern, not in life itself.
What Becomes Possible When You Join Us
Imagine putting the “fine” version of you down and not performing anymore. Imagine actually allowing yourself to meet what’s here and no longer avoiding and resisting how you feel.
Imagine simply meeting life’s challenges with openness and curiosity without trying to change anything.
Imagine discovering that even the experiences you wouldn’t have chosen can hold unexpected wisdom, to the point of full acceptance.
Imagine moving through life with greater clarity, deeper trust and a little less effort simply because your relationship to it has begun to shift.
That’s the invitation.
This Weekend Is Truly For You
This weekend is for anyone ready to meet what’s underneath the patterns, the mental noise and your connection to yourself.
You don’t need to be in crisis and no one else can give you permission.
You are the only one who can lead yourself forward so the wisdom within you is more accessible.
We’re here to help create the conditions for this experience.
The Arc of the Weekend
We guide you on a path that unfolds one step at a time, is supported by the land and held in a safe and nourishing container that we set, together.
Friday | 7:30–9:00 PM
We begin with a welcome circle where we orient to this place and set our intentions and tone for the weekend ahead.
Skip guides a meditation and inquiry to help you settle, slow down, and begin meeting whatever you’ve carried into the weekend with greater awareness.
Greg closes the evening with a sound immersion, allowing the body to soften and settle into what the mind has begun to explore.
Saturday | 10:00–11:30 AM
Skip offers guidance exploring a different way of relating to thoughts, emotions, and life’s challenges. The session concludes with a guided meditation, offering an opportunity to experience these principles directly.
Saturday | 4:00–5:30 PM
Circle, coaching, and journal work with Sarah.
What’s surfaced over the day stops being a private noticing and starts being spoken, written and witnessed. This is a space to recognize meaningful patterns, deepen your understanding, and integrate what is ready to move forward.
Saturday | 7:30–9:30 PM
A sound immersion with Greg. The longest and deepest of the weekend, where insight settles into the body and becomes felt, not just understood.
Sunday | 10:00 AM–12:00 PM
We come together as a full circle with Skip, Sarah, and Greg all present.
Through reflection, conversation, journaling, and integration, we close the weekend together with an invitation to carry this deeper awareness into everyday life.
What This Weekend Makes Possible
Every person’s experience will be different.
Rather than promising a particular outcome, this weekend is designed to create the conditions for meaningful exploration, insight, and integration.
You may discover:
- A different relationship with your thoughts and emotions.
- Greater trust in your own direct experience.
- Fresh perspective on patterns that have felt difficult to navigate.
- A renewed sense of connection with yourself.
- Simple practices to continue exploring long after the weekend has ended.
Your room selection is the full cost of your weekend. Lodging, meals, and all programming with Skip, Sarah, and Greg are included.
