“Pathways to Peace”

The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year, a time when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, radiating its potent energy upon the earth. This celestial event has been revered by cultures around the world for millennia, symbolizing a time of abundance, growth, and vitality.

​Honoring the Summer Solstice allows us to align with the rhythms of nature and tap into the profound wisdom of our ancestors, who recognized this time as an opportunity for spiritual renewal and inner transformation. By honoring the solstice, we honor the cycles of life, death, and rebirth, acknowledging our interconnectedness with the natural world and the eternal dance of creation.

​As we come together in sisterhood to celebrate the Summer Solstice, let us open our hearts to the abundant blessings of the sun, allowing its radiant light to illuminate our path and guide us on our journey of self-discovery and soulful connection.

​We will take part in multiple pathways to peace allowing us to tune in to our SOULS. Taking time to be quiet, to peel back the layers, meditating, sharing, breathing, being in nature, drinking tea and gathering around a fire, ending the day with a burning ritual as we move into the next half of the retreat. The intention behind the selected modalities & offering for these 2 days is centered around providing real life examples of how you can obtain Peace and take it home with you.

​As with all the spaces I hold you can take part in everything or nothing, whatever feels good and nourishes YOU is what’s important.

We will be offering the services of up to 8 different certified & licensed facilitators. If you don’t choose to participate in a particular activity we have horses on site, 13 acres, a nature preserve & Big Darby Creek behind the sanctuary for you to roam upon.

​The day’s may include but not limited to:

See what some of our past guests have to say about our retreats:

• By purchasing your ticket, you agree to the terms and conditions found upon the terms and conditions page.
• WHAT IS HAPÉ-Hapé, or rapé, is pronounced ‘haa-pay’ in English. It is a sacred shamanic snuff medicine used by many tribes of the Amazon, South American indigenous cultures, and ancestors across the world. These tribes have been working with this sacred medicine for thousands of years as part of healing and connecting with the Creator. 
• The practice is considered deeply grounding and cleansing, both physically and spiritually. It’s said to clear the mind, release emotional, physical, and spiritual illnesses, realign energy channels and open you up to the dreamworld. However, it’s important to approach Hapé with respect and reverence, as it is a powerful tool and sacred medicine.
• Cancelation Policy: Canceling within 7 days of event will produce a 90% refund due to processing fees. If cancelation occurs within 7 days event holder reserves the right to deny refund depending on circumstance.
• While this is a Women’s Retreat intended for women only please note we will have 2 male facilitators in attendance strictly for their one-hour time period to offer their services. Trust that through my healing journey I’ve come to know & recognize a safe man and would only invite facilitators that meet this very specific criteria, one of them being my beloved who is a certified Sound Healer. If you have questions or concerns, please contact me directly.
• What is Cacao? The truth is, cacao can be life changing. Its mood boosting compounds can alleviate depression and anxiety, its gentle stimulating effect can reduce or replace coffee, and it can be a beautiful way to find greater meaning through ritual.
• Please see below picture of just a few of our certified or licensed facilitators. For more information, please visit the Facebook event page here for details on each facilitator.
• Please bring with you a small blanket, eye mask, yoga mat, journal, pen, and a water bottle for maximum comfort.
