HEALERS INTENSIVE

WINTER SOLSTICE DAY RETREAT
DECEMBER 22, 2018
​10:00 – 5:00
​SANTA CRUZ, CA​

Join me for this special daylong retreat – the 2nd of a quarterly daylong Healer’s Intensive.  This retreat is carefully designed, guided and inspired for you to have a deep spiritual experience of the season. Our small, intimate group will create the space and opportunity to be inwardly drawn and enter into the darkness and silence the season offers. 

This retreat is a combination of indoor experiences that include meditation, winter themed contemplation, an inner journey to explore the directives of Spirit and the Ancestors, an outdoor, land-based contemplative time (regardless of the weather) and a council for sharing. 

In these tumultuous times we are called together to answer the call of healing for the Earth. This is a call to save the Earth and the non-human peoples of our planet from the damage we have and continue to cause. The Earth is screaming out for us to listen. This will be a time of deep listening.  The answer to the Earth Mother’s survival exists in our ability to bear witness and listen to both what is asked of us individually and collectively.  Slowing down, entering into the stillness and silence in order to hear will be the theme of this retreat.

The day will be devoted to meditation, sharing, ritual and conversations. Join me.

There is lodging nearby if anyone wishes to stay either prior to and/or after.

Cost– $180 for individual workshop; 3 sessions (3 more quarters) $432 (a 20% discount).

Additional Dates: March 16, 2019 & June 22, 2019.
