There are many names for Mother Earth: Generous Earth, Great Earth Mother, Gaia, Pachamama. Whatever name we call her, it is she that provides all that we need.
Join us for a two-day Nature Retreat Workshop in the Owen Sound area where we will practice mindfulness and work with plants for the purpose of purification, empowerment, and healing.
In this Nature Retreat Workshop, participants will become attentive to their relationship with Mother Earth through:
- Venturing out to sit and be open to nature through meditation
- Learning to ask for guidance from and learning to listen to the Spirit of Nature
- Using plants, herbs, mandalas and ritual
We will:
- Learn the sacred way to gather and prepare plants and herbs
- Make smudges for purification, contemplation, and empowerment (healing)
- Create and maintain a sacred fire
- Prepare three sets of plant medicine (smudges) for personal use to take home
- Create a personal mandala
Participants will engage with Nature in simple yet profound ways to connect with their primal self. Our primal self is ultimately this mind, this body and this earth. What we need is found here in the earth and in our own earthly bodies because we are made from this earth. Indeed, we are the earth.
