About this Retreat

Your Guides

Details of this retreat

In this transformational experience you will be guided to wynd and weave your way between the worlds of ancient shamanism and futuristic quantum meditation, finally landing at the knot of present moment, heart centered alignment and flow.

Working with powerful techniques from a Western Shamanic tradition including somatic experiencing, breathwork, ceremony, meditation and powerful healing modalities you will be given the opportunity to clear, cleanse and cut the ties to what no longer serves, releasing trauma and conditioned patterns of the past that are holding you back.

You will gather new threads of understanding about yourself and learn to connect deeply with the inner wisdom of your energy centers and the loving presence of source consciousness. Then from this center point of self realization you will be guided through the quantum field to become the embodied divine creator of your heart’s desire and re weave new purpose into your life.


A list of some of the practices we will be working with.

Heart center reconnection * Architecture of the masculine and feminine * Meditations with Earth and Stellar stars * Energetic form of present moment Octahedron * Earth sipping feminine breathwork technique * Tibetan heart Meditation * Imprinting the molecular structure of water * Ancient walking meditation to connect the energy centers * Healing codes into the quantum core processor of the central core * Pore breathing with a collective dream weave * Masculine breath to clear blocks in the energy centers * Shamanic Bee smoking ceremony to clear traumatic debris from the body * Fire ceremony to remove patterns that numb the heart * Suffi motion of the ‘I am’ as the souls purpose * Witnessing in sacred discussion * Geometric pairing of heart centers * Frequency sounding * Weaving Ceremony to unbind from addictions * Shamanic Bee healing ceremony to purify genetics * Downloading Manifestation codes * Ceremony of the gifts

This is an intimate retreat (small group) where you will be held in the womb of creation, without judgement and in unconditional love as you unfold into the best version of yourself.

"I was looking forward to this retreat and my expectations were very high. It turns out that words cannot describe the experience, so intense and profound was it. To understand it you have to live it, and I invite anyone who feels the need to embark on an inner quest to join Sarita for a retreat. These few days will mark you forever and will certainly be one of the most beautiful experiences of your life.
Solhenge is simply out of time, it is a world apart that has the power to make you forget all the problems and obligations of everyday life, to immerse you in a unique atmosphere of love and inner peace.
Sarita and her assistants will help and guide you to find what you have come for. You will be changed forever." Jeremy

"I am still digesting our stay at SolHenge and have to say that now every day is a such an unusual and wonderful experience. It’s like getting a gift from you of super powers and so I am discovering what I can do with it...
I just wanted to thank you so much for inviting me to your secret and magical place.
I am absolutely grateful for that experience. It did change my life you know. I got a piece of my soul and joy to live again back. (which was sadly deep hidden, buried and forgotten)
I feel like I have entered to a new level of dimension of life...And you lady lady lady ahhhh what an extraordinary and powerful woman you are.
Definitely you have connections that go beyond this world.
From my heart to yours" Monika

Schedule

In this approach to the creation and birthing of your own unique drum we will work with both crafting practices and shamanic spiritual/ceremonial practices as detailed below:

Cleaning and fleshing the skin of the drum by hand to prepare and smooth it for a perfect vibration

Choosing the wood and shape and size of frame for your drum.

Making the hazel branch to size for around the frame, the skin will then be sewn around this branch

Sanding and oiling of the frame for a smooth finish

Making detailed choices for the handle with gemstone, wood or antler

Assembling and making of the drum with handle creation, puncturing, sewing, looping and stretching and tensioning of the skin.

Finishing the drum, extra stretching of the strings, making the togges, making the unique beater for your specific sound requirements

Energetically connecting into the skin of the drum to heal any issues or blocks with the animal spirit that gave the skin

Honoring the animal soul of the drum skin

Shamanic Drumming ceremony

Walk to meet the spirit Ali of the drum

Learning drumming healing techniques

Learning how to call in the 6 directions with your drum to activate and set up sacred spaces

Types of wood and skins offered to you for your drum frames and beaters: Hazel, Cedar, Oak, Ash, Beech. Horse, Bison, Fallow Deer, Goat, Tiger Shark, Red Deer, Roe Deer.

All our materials are ethically sourced in connection with nature without cruelty to animals. The animals are NOT killed for their skins, rather their skins have been gathered after death in order to alleviate any waste and honor the animal.

PLEASE NOTE:

No prior experience is necessary for this workshop and you will be supported and assisted every step of the way. However it is important to understand that drum creation can be physically demanding and messy work.
