About this Retreat
Details of this retreat
Beginning in 2026, we will be holding regular Forest Path Works aligned with special calendar days for celebration and deep communal study.
Held during the daytime, these ceremonies are a space to uplift the circle, sing from the heart around the altar, and be present for the Work. Participation is essential. While space will be held for personal healing, movement, and rest when needed, all are expected to sit up and engage to the best of their ability during the main sections of song and meditation. These Works are less focused on individual support and more oriented toward collective alignment and devotional presence.
Each session will include periods of meditation, silence, and focused singing from our Forest Path hymn books, and may also incorporate dancing works in the formation of Santo Daime. However, these are not Santo Daime works - they are Forest Path Works. Each member who joins has a responsibility to uphold in themselves the values of the Forest Path's living tradition of meditation, contemplation and realisation on the nature of Being, Presence and Love.
After the work is complete, we will share a potluck style meal together, please be prepared to contribute with a food offering.
These gatherings are intended only for the extended Forest Path family, those who have taken part in several retreats with us and feel sincerely called to deepen their walk upon the path. If you have not sat with us before, please register for a Wisdom Weekend or Immersion first.

Forest Path ceremonies are the best!
Hayley & Jaya hold an impeccable ceremony for light transmissions of the soul. They are pure love, wisdom, beauty & care. Their music and voices uplift and inspire Christ consciousness & Divine Mother & Father. Jaya’s & Hayley’s transmissions speak to the heart & soul to illuminate the path. I am forever in love & gratitude for them & their offerings.

Medicine in Every Moment
During my time in Guatemala, I was welcomed into the home of the shaman and his wife. From very first day, I felt the balance created by their partnership. Together, they held the space with a combination of strength and warmth that seemed to flow naturally between them. It felt like an expression of the divine feminine and divine masculine in harmony, which set the tone for the entire retreat.
The shaman carried a deep well of wisdom and presence. He responded to questions with patience and clarity, offering guidance that felt both gentle and precise. There were times when just a few words from him brought a sense of calm or understanding that stayed with me long after.
His wife contributed an equally powerful energy; quiet, grounding, and compassionate. The way they moved around each other and the group created an atmosphere that felt deeply respectful and held. I often noticed how attuned they were to what was happening in the space and in each person.
The ceremonies were held in the temple, surrounded by volcanic mountains and waters that seemed alive in their own way. The energy of the land itself felt like an essential part of the medicine, something that reached into every aspect of the experience. There were moments I could feel the volcanic earth under my feet and a sense that the place itself was working with us.
Each detail... the songs of the musicians, the attentiveness of the facilitators, the meals prepared and shared together, felt connected to this same living field. For me, the medicine was not only in the ceremony but in every interaction, every quiet moment, every step taken on the land.
Throughout the retreat, everything felt integrated as one whole experience. Nothing stood apart or felt separate. I left with a sense of having been welcomed into something complete, alive, and profoundly healing. By the end, I felt almost as if all the participants were good friends. There was a natural closeness and trust between us that arose from sharing an experience shaped with so much wisdom and care.
