A signature of the earth
Sonoma County is a unique place on earth, where vineyards, oak trees, and redwood trees live symbiotically along a rugged coast. A place of incredible beauty and abundant bounty, Sonoma is a unique signature of the earth; a signature of the “terra”. If Sonoma had a written signature, it would have wild and beautiful flourishes with strong and resilient roots.
What is Signaterra?
With the stunning backdrop of Sonoma County, Signaterra curates embodied, immersive experiences for teams, thoughtfully bringing forth deeply-rooted truths to shape and guide their life journey.
The context of the experiences includes sitting in the shade of an oak tree, walking in the vineyard, staring up at the towering redwoods, and feeling the splash of the ocean. Signaterra invites you to marvel at creation and ponder the many metaphors that bring hope, joy, and a more honest engagement with life. Your team will leave spiritually refreshed with a renewed vision and framework for life and leadership.

Sonoma County is among the most biodiverse areas in all of North America. The iconic oaks are known as a keystone species that are not only incredibly beautiful but bring healing to the land and provide irreplaceable support for a significant range of other plants and animals.
-
Vineyards and wine form the backbone of Sonoma’s joyous, economic lifeblood. Metaphors for life abound in the vineyard! The ancient vines give us clues to sustainable living and the lessons of each season bring fresh perspectives and a helpful framework for life and leadership.
-
The majestic coastal redwoods are some of the oldest and largest living organisms on earth, and Sonoma is home to some of the world’s most impressive groves. Their shared rootedness and resilient longevity have much to teach us about living in community.

A dramatic and diverse coastline defines the liminal space between land and sea. The tension of living between stability and instability describes life. We learn from the tenacious sea creatures that thrive in the volatile waters and the horizon beckons us to journey onward.
The Signaterra Experience
We offer one and two day Signaterra experiences. These curated gatherings are built around carefully selected locations that feature the incredible splendor of Sonoma County not as a beautiful classroom but instead providing an intimate context for these world class natural wonders to be the teachers. Our team bring their rich insights through the context of hosting an encounter between your team and the ecosystem around you.
Each Signaterra experience is unique because it highlights the dynamics taking place in the natural environment at the very moment and engages the unique team present for embodied experiences and compelling interaction. The gleanings become richly layered as the group moves from focusing on oaks to vines to redwoods and finally the coast.
The one-day experience starts at 8AM and finishes at 5PM.
The two-day experience starts at 11AM on the first day and finishes at 3PM on the afternoon of the second day.
Because Signaterra experiences are curated for each unique group, pricing varies for each event.
