Description
Welcome to Ferry Beach! Throughout our time together we will interlace meditation, yoga, lots of hands on healing (Reiki), aromatherapy, intuitive work and sharing along with ritual to honor our ancestors and the earth itself.


You do not need to be trained in Reiki to attend!


This retreat is a chance to renew, reconnect and rebalance. For practitioners, it is a chance to relax and receive.


This year we honor and remember the earth, our home and place in this world.


We come from the earth, the mother of all living creatures,  and return to lie this great lap​ that always holds us. Come with us to journey into ourselves and deep into the earth itself. Travel the shamans path and the path of the spiritual warrior.


There will be beach time in the afternoons and a chance to sign up for foot reflexology.
