August 22 - 25, Thursday - Sunday at Breitenbush Hot Springs
Through sacred ceremony and ancient indigenous practices we will work to release what does not serve us and begin to develop our skills to ground, nurture and become aware of and in tune with our own divine inner knowing. As we release that which does not serve us, we tap into the healing power of nature, and come into alignment with our own divine rhythm and self healing abilities. Sessions are designed to enhance our ability to tap into and become aware of our own energy field and our connection to the natures around us.

Meditation, Hands on Self Healing through Reiki, Yoga, Nature Ceremony, Indigenous Wisdom, Dharma talk
