Description
​Welcome to the year of Nature and return to magical Ferry Beach!

What is Nature in our elements? Nature is the culmination of fire, water and earth and mineral or air.
It is the magical manifestation of creation on earth. In nature, we find no excuses. A tree is a tree, a bird is a bird, it can only be what it essentially is.

Yet, we as humans see ourselves through an internal watcher filtered through personal experiences and the eyes of others. Who are we really? What is our essential nature? When we strip away all the roles, the masks, and the self limiting beliefs, who are we?

This year we set out to discover our fundamental nature through magic, curiosity and honesty. To come to experience that the core within us is our best friend.

As we are caught up in the beauty and delicate fragrance of a flower, we are also in awe of the strength and beauty of the raging bull or the stinging scorpion.

Please come and be part of this powerful gathering.

Reiki, energy healing, and sharing are a big part of our time together. This work brings us back to our hearts and community, gives us the connection we are missing so much these days. We will have a gong healing and foot reflexology practitioner available again this summer.

This is an opportunity to relax and rebalance, for practitioners to recharge and those who long for healing to give and receive. No training is necessary.

In community, we will also have a fire and water cleansing or ritual if weather allows to help release whatever holds us back

We are asking everyone to bring something of nature for our shrine. Plants, flowers, feathers, pelts, shells, whatever finds you to be brought to our alter at Ferry Beach. Please bring a green candle that you can then bring home.

Also, ancestor photos and/or items for our fire shrine (please no living people in the pictures) to honor the spirit of our loved ones who have passed.

​Workshop leader Jeannette Dufau will reach out to each participant before the retreat.

Suggested Readings:
The Healing Wisdom of Africa by Malidoma Some'
The Sacred Path of the Warrior by Chogyam Trungpa
The Original Reiki Handbook of Dr. Mikao Usui

2023 schedule coming soon
