Join Julie Down, Fawntice and InTouch SF's, Jordanna Dworkin, for a powerful weekend of shamanic ritual and ceremony.

Release beliefs and patterns that no longer serve you. Build tools to create consciousness and self-awareness. Enjoy yoga and movement. Restore with shamanic healing, soundscapes and acupuncture.

THE WORKSHOP~

So often, the day-to-day currents swirl at such a rapid pace that there is hardly time for reflection. For thousands of years human beings have used retreats as a time-out to create lasting positive change.

Step away on scenic retreat and examine your inner life in a focused, supportive workshop environment. We will investigate our current habits of mind and learn tools for breaking negative thought-patterns that cause daily suffering. We will engage in shamanic rituals and healing practices to create new pathways for contentment. Participants will also have the opportunity to receive a shamanic healing or private acupuncture session.

The retreat will be both an individual and community experience. The first half will focus on uncovering patterns that keep us stuck in our lives. This will include various exercises through mindfulness, as well as self-exploration in the form of journaling. We will share some of this reflection in order to build self-awareness and learn from others’ experiences. Throughout this process we will  practice yoga and movement. This portion of the retreat culminates in a fire ceremony, where we will release the behaviors and beliefs that no longer serve us.

With new space cleared, the second half of the retreat will be devoted to determining what to create in place of what we have released; that which will enrich and empower our lives. We will end our time together with a Despatcho, an ancient Peruvian prayer ceremony.

On Friday evening, there will be a sound healing with Fawntice Finesse.
