Ceremony is an integral part of Retreats

Balance of male and female with spiral of life ceremony graphic is a symbol of balance and using ceremony to evoke positive change and healing

“Ceremony is the intentional use of symbols by humans combined with action. What was intangible becomes real.  The symbol comes to life. Movement is activated. Healing-rebalancing occurs in heart connection to the energetic powers of nature and spirit.”
