For those of us who devote energy to nurturing our families and communities and do healing work in all its forms, the warm refuge of gathering is needed. To maintain our health and vitality we need a place where we can come together collectively to heal, to feel our inner light being honored, to have our inherent value be seen, reflected and appreciated. There is a kind of restoration of body and soul that cannot be found in a pill-it is the power of healing retreat. The women who gather with me for medicine work are intuitive, spirit-focused, earth-wise and dedicated to waking up fully in their lives. They are in need of women of their kind, to create and share sacred space, restore their energy, bodies and inner wisdom. They require space and time to be the wild and magical creatures they are.[/vc_column_text][mk_blockquote style=”line-style” font_family=”Oswald” font_type=”google” font_size_combat=”true” text_size=”20″ animation=”scale-up” align=”left” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]The Medicine Wheel is a matrix of healing found in all traditions of human healing and spirituality.

The Medicine Wheel is a matrix of healing found in all traditions of human healing and spirituality. It has been called on since ancient times for ritual purpose as well as healing almost any illness, since it is understood that all illness springs from a disharmony of spirit. The Medicine wheel symbolizes the balance of all things, and walking it supports us in balancing our individual deficiencies and excesses of energy. The Wheel is a metaphor for the journey we take as women and as healers. It contains what we contain-strength, shadow, endurance, vision and unity. How we’ll heal during this retreat:

• Build and walk the Medicine Wheel together in my family’s Sacred Meadow
• Make sacred tools for spiritual practice
• Create a community Equinox Altar
• Share in conscious community
• Voice together in sound healing meditation
• Connect with and indulge our Divine Feminine Energy
• Move our bodies through a dosha-balancing yoga practice
