Our Retreats
Every retreat begins with a short walk into the woods where we will find the sacred fire waiting for us. Once we get settled, the welcoming fire ceremony will begin. We will then do a short presence/grounding meditation followed by a moment to reflect on gratitude. Then using one (or more) of the 4 sacred medicines we can offer blessings to the fire and set a personal intention. After this we will head out on a walk through the forest (shoes optional) — where we go in the woods depends on the retreat you book.
What to expect at one of our retreats
Crystal Creek Retreat
Your forest adventure with the crystal creek package takes you on a short walk through the forest leading to a crystal filled creek. With water shoes on we walk down stream with intentions to release any negative or stagnate energy we are holding onto. Being in a flowing body of water gives us the opportunity to release old energies, patterns and traumas. Keep your eyes peeled, this crystal filled creek has a gift for you. Your crystal will chose you as you will feel drawn to it and feel a happy feeling upon first laying your eyes on it. The crystal you find is yours to take home with you!
Deep Woodland Journey
Those with a strong yearning for adventure with unique landscapes and changing environment will love the deep woodland journey retreat. Bring a snack because this walk consist of 2+ hours of hiking through winding trails through a sacred forest. You’re sure to find serenity in the presence of the ancient trees that make up the deep woods. From mushrooms patches, giant (abandoned) ant hills, bird feathers and animals bones there are tons of treasures to see. Look out for all the crystals scattered around this magickal forest!
When we get back from our adventure through the forest, we will be nice and warmed up and ready for a slow comfortable yoga session. This yoga session will be less about increasing flexibility or strength, but instead to help get our mind more in touch with our bodies.
Afterwards, get comfortable either sitting or laying down inside the bug tent back inside the Cedar Circle. We will begin a guided meditation that will consist of breath-work and then a visual journey to the most mysterious and ever-unfolding place on the planet — ourselves. This guided journey will take us inside ourselves where we will observe and learn about our more subtle selves. Our subconscious rules our conscious minds if we remain unaware of it.
After our meditative journey we will begin our collaborative song in a drum circle. The vibration of the drums will awaken something deep within us. The drumming mimics our heartbeat and in that sense we will be the heartbeat of the earth. This retreat is sure to help you raise your vibration and the earth’s as well.
Once we finish the group drumming, this is when those who chose to book an optional massage or reading from a RMT or renowned Psychic medium will go off one by one to a private location for your treatment.
While some go off for their treatments everyone else is welcome to some free time. You can go off exploring the marked trails on your own, Have some fresh brewed cedar tea with our homegrown honey and mingle with your fellow retreat goers or tuck into a book relaxing in a chair or hammock. Take this opportunity to do whatever your heart desires.
There is much more to see and do so come out and find out for yourself!
This is the general outline of the retreat but every retreat flows a bit differently depending on the energy of the day.
