Release, Renew & Re-awaken in the Redwoods
Every time I immerse myself in nature and surrender to her wisdom, I come back home to myself and who I am. Over the past several years, I’ve found myself called again and again to the coastal redwoods of Mendocino. These woods are magic and have held some deep healing for me during times of change, uncertainty, grief, as well as supporting the celebration of new beginnings. The seasons of life hold it all.
Join us for a weekend of nature medicine, ritual, play, reverence, and renewal during the Beltane portal of awakening.
Within earth based spiritual traditions, Beltane is an ancient fire festival that celebrates the re-awakening, rebirth and fertile blossoming of spring. We’ll be channeling this collective energy to shed our winter skins, release any stagnant ways of being, set intentions for the next cycle, and reconnect with our inner source fires.
Surrounded by the regal redwoods, the buzzing pulse of nature, and the unfurling of spring, our weekend together will be held at the beautiful Spirit Camp sanctuary.
We’ll weave together ritual embodied practices, howling at the stars, dancing around the bonfire, forest bathing, hiking through the surrounding redwoods + fern gully, heartfelt reflections, dialogues held in circle, frolicking through the fairy meadows, as well as time to pause and deeply connect with these sacred lands. When we return to nature with intention, it is an invitation to remember our sacred place in the greater tapestry of life.
Our specially curated journey together will include:
Friday night: opening circle to ground, set intentions together, connect w/ and honor the land.
Saturday morning ritual practice: weaving together yoga asana, pranayama breathwork, ecstatic embodied dance and intuitive flow in our spacious healing sanctuary.
2 nights lodging in one of the newly renovated cabins made with oakwood floors and redwood furnishings, includes soft cotton sheets, linen duvet bedding.
Open time Saturday afternoon to pause, hang out in the fairy meadow, play in the gardens, or join in an optional guided nature hike through the surrounding redwood forest and fern gully.
Afternoon restorative + yoga nidra workshop, as well as guided self study, journaling, reflecting & open circle dialogues in our supportive community.
Closing fire ceremony to bless, call in and release.
Nourish w/ 3x locally sourced vegetarian meals a day, as well as coffee + tea. Friday will open w/ a welcoming dinner, Sunday morning we’ll close out with a final brunch all together.
