HSA Credit Cards accepted Reserve your spot with a $350 non-refundable deposit. This workshop is limited to 10 participants. We have room for one more! Join us for a heart-centered women’s retreat where we gather in sacred sisterhood to explore how the spirit of plant medicine can deepen and illuminate the ancient art of shamanic journeying. For generations, shamanic journeying has served as a bridge between the visible and invisible, guiding us into realms of insight, healing, and ancestral wisdom. When we invite the consciousness of sacred plant medicine into this practice, we are not simply enhancing the journey, we are entering into sacred communion with a living intelligence that predates language, culture, and even the human species. Plant medicine invites us to attune more deeply with the Earth, to expand our awareness, and to engage in direct encounters with inner wisdom, Spirit, compassionate spiritual allies, and ancestral guidance. This is not a journey of escape, but a return to your most essential self, in harmony with all of life. In the sacred space of sisterhood, we honor the intuitive, cyclical nature of the feminine. Plant medicine teaches in spirals, not straight lines, revealing insights with tenderness, grace, and awe. Together, we will journey into the realms of body, spirit, and Earth wisdom, weaving the seen and unseen into a tapestry of remembrance and connection. What You’ll Experience: Shamanic journeys (with and without plant medicine) Ceremonies to deepen our connection to the Spirit world and elements Integration circles and tools to create pathways to bring the wisdom and healing from the weekend home Nature immersion and sacred reset for mind, body, and spirit A safe, heart-centered space for reflection and transformation You are invited to walk between worlds, to awaken your inner knowing, to receive ancient wisdom, and remember your belonging. The Earth remembers you. The plant medicine remembers you. The Spirits remember you. And most of all, remember yourself.
