WHAT IS IT LIKE? To give you an idea of the depth and opportunity to support your life by attending this Ceremony, we share some experiences from others.
“It was a very powerful evening of sharing and community. I was still buzzing the next day. Received a lot of insight and gifts.“
“I experienced connection with spirit.”
“My big takeaway was to see and experience sacred wisdom from the directions as catalysts for personal change. They reassure us that we are not all alone, that nature is a part of us. I hear that all the time and regularly spend time in the outdoors, but never before understood this untapped potential of nature to enrich our lives. That insight was invisible to me before last night.”
