Nourishing program, facilitators, and land
The Cedar Song Center is in gorgeous, varied land that is tended with care: a perfect place for the nature-based explorations of land and psyche. I recently attended the Wild Mind Immersion, led by Stephanie Marchal and Sarah Frizelle.
Remembering, I'm nourished by the care, humour, wisdom and experience of the facilitators, as well as the gifts and camaraderie brought by the participants. The land held us in discovering how aspects of ourselves connect with the wild, providing mythically rich spots for soul encounters.
The childrens' nature school taking place elsewhere on the land felt supportive as well, as I reckon the land is glad to sense human little ones running around joyfully. I feel a kinship with the land, the hosts, and the work being done there.

Beautiful land, incredible life-changing experience
I attended a ReWilding Immersion here in August, 2023. I sought out this experience to address a lack of connection I felt with the natural world, and could not have anticipated how much more I would get from this retreat.

I connected with my wholeness, called upon and honed my deep inner knowing, expressed long-held and largely unconscious feelings, and left feeling more aligned, healed and connected to myself and the more-than-human world.

Stephanie and Sarah were such incredible guides and facilitators, sharing their knowledge and gifts generously. They walked the perfect line of giving us space, freedom and trust to explore our own processes, while always being present if support was needed.

The land itself is incredible, with a variety of trees and plants and creatures to connect with. Pease Lake is a short walk away, and I enjoyed a few peaceful swims. The house was used to prepare our meals and held some of our gatherings. It all felt 10/10 perfect to me.

Gorgeous space!
Cedar Song is a beautiful space surrounded by nature. The kitchen is well stocked for all food prep, the bathrooms and showers are fine, and the big room is spacious, and beautifully adorned with elements of nature. There are different meeting places around the property, a large deck to dine on, and paths in multiple directions to wander onto the land.

A fantastic retreat, expertly guided. Don't overthink it. Just sign up and go!
In speaking with a friend, I described my Rewilding retreat with Stephanie and Becky as "delightfully not spiritual," meaning that I wasn’t in the presence of a bunch of pseudo-spiritual egos trying to look all zenny while they were exploding on the inside. Instead, I felt privileged to be with an extraordinary group of very real and honest women who were being their perfectly imperfect selves while our guides expertly held the space for our explorations. I feel ongoing gratitude for the retreat and for all those who made it possible. Bill Plotkin's simple, yet brilliant map of the self and the sub-personalities continues to serve as a guide for my inner work. Highly recommended!

Amazing
I highly recommend this experience to everyone who wants to dig deeper into their psyche.

The retreat was a beautiful experience that gave me a lens into how the psyche works, and a lens into what areas of my psyche need healing and restoration. The facilitators created a nurturing and inspiring environment for us to commune with nature and with each other. I was able to explore thoughts and feelings and let them take their own journey.
