Rooted in Nature
About this Retreat
Details of this retreat
Do you feel a calling to connect with Mother Earth and your ancestors?
Join Shamanic Priestess Charlotte Keane from The Unstruck Drum for this weekend of deep communion with nature. You will learn to tune in so deeply that you can feel the voice of Mother Earth.
You will experience a Shamanic drum journey to meet with your spirit animals in the tradition of our ancestral elders.
Our daily yoga practices, led by Shoshana Hebshi, will help us feel into the grounding sensation of Mother Earth, composting any parts of your energetic self that needs to be let go so you can welcome abundance and gratitude into your fullest self.
Together, we will make essential oils from locally grown lavender. The ceremonial extraction of oils is ancient work performed by Priestesses all over the world. Using the holy oils we create together, you will be anointed to open the third eye chakra–Ajna, to support your ongoing path of awareness and spiritual communication. You will be able to take some oil home with you.
This retreat includes:
Yoga for all levels
Shamanic Drum Journeys
Connection to Spirit Animals
Handcrafting essential oils from plants
