All our medicines come from plants. Most of our food comes from plants. The beauty around us comes from plants. It is a magical world to enter the realm of plants, trees, and flowers. In this weekend retreat we will spend time with the plants in the garden, we will look at them, draw them, write about them, ingest them and do Ceremony with them. There are many ways to work with plant medicine, during our weekend together we will drink teas, work with essential oils, flower essences, and the plants themselves.

The purpose of the weekend is to just unwind, relax, disconnect and reconnect to the natural world. The weekend will include a ritual bathing, delicious fresh foods from the farmer market, mixing and creating healing potions, journeying to the plant world, and just sitting with plants. A restorative, rejuvenating, relaxing weekend for women to just be and play and co create with Nature. Weekend includes a Ritual Bathing.

Ritual bathing is a deeply relaxing and spiritual experience. It calls to our ancient roots of women bathing together under the moon. The Ceremony begins with lighting a candle of intention/prayer for the Ceremony. The bathing consists of three rounds in the the sauna (body/mind/soul). In the sauna we chant, sing and send blessings with every pour on the hot stones and every drop of sweat. In between we enjoy a refreshing cold shower and rest in the hot tub or just sit under the moon. We nourish and renew the whole self with healing salt and sugar scrubs, hair oil and conditioner, all made from natural ingredients with pure essential oils. We drink healing waters with herbs and flower essences that help us to release what needs to be released and cleanse from the inside out. Ritual Bathing is a time for you to relax, focus on your own self care and allow the Soul to shine through, all in sacred time, in a safe place, in the company of supportive women.
