Join us in this two day, two night immersive Cape Breton retreat in beautiful Margaree Forks.
Time to get out of your head, and into your heart! Through community, meditation, yoga, art, and ceremony it is time to awaken your spirit. This immersion is a Goddess' Guide to reconnect with our deep inner wisdom.
Alchemy is the changing of states and with each season, we are reminded of the changes we can embody. The rising feminine energy is asking for us to live in our hearts, and let go of what no longer serves us.
The season of the fall will be our guide in this journey. What changes are asking to emerge? What patterns can we release? Can we become radically curious about our unique role in our collective unfolding?

* Note: * Many of us are feeling the deep sense of isolation and loss of connection during the pandemic.
Due to the confined space, we are reducing the number per tent to 2, instead of the usual four. This change is intended to allow a social distance of 6 feet, though maintenance of this distance is the responsibility of the individuals once inside their own accommodation.
