Resonance, a long weekend retreat gathering of the family to pray with Grandfather fire in late spring in Mars Hill, North Carolina, just outside Asheville. It is our pleasure to invite you to join us to heal, grow, and celebrate life together in the beautiful Appalachian mountains.

Here are the details:
WHEN: Friday, May 31 - Monday, June 3 (Arrive Friday between 2PM - 4PM, Leave Monday by 3PM)
WHERE: Spiritual retreat property in Mars Hill, North Carolina, just 45 minutes north of Asheville
WHAT TO EXPECT: Join the spirit tribe for an extended healing weekend in meditation, communion, and sacred ceremony. Everything in this gathering is soul medicine. Give yourself unconditional permission to rest, release, relax, celebrate, and restore together with the family. Also it is FIREFLY SEASON and I have been told the spectacle of the fireflies on this land is amazing to witness.
RESONANCE is an opportunity to come into right relationship with yourself, remember your power, renew your connection to Source, and reclaim your sacred life energy. It is a chance to disconnect from the hustle, get out into nature, connect with other spiritually minded soul family, and remember your purpose: to be your most authentic, whole self in resonance with Spirit.
We do this work to heal, evolve, and come home to our true wild nature. Together we will prepare, set our intentions, and open the way for joyous celebration through prayer around Grandfather fire.
Ceremony is a sacred opportunity to welcome in and deepen your relationship with what matters most. To become clear with your intentions. To be in compassion and forgiveness. To invite a new timeline to come forth and to claim your sovereign power to walk your path with purpose.
During the retreat, we will offer three ceremonial meditations and a day of integration
Friday ~ we will be supported by Madre Cacao, medicine songs, yoga nidra, and grandfather drum to welcome the family and open the gathering
3pm - 5pm - Arrival
6pm - Opening Cacao Ceremony
8pm - Dinner
Saturday ~ we will be working with Los Niños Santos in a two tobacco ceremony in a celebration of the feminine in reverent appreciation of Mother Earth. This ceremony is an invitation to go deep within and connect to the Mystery while you are held by medicine songs, silence, and music. Journey in safety while the medicine works in you to clean, clear, and bring forward that which no longer serves you. Liberate yourself from anything that is not authentic and true. You will receive a special mapacho cleansing and flower water blessing to guide your path and purpose. In closing, we will create a gratitude mandala of healing on the land to give thanks to our ancestors, the elements, and to all of Creation.
8am - Light Breakfast
10am - Ceremony led by Sinclair
7pm - Dinner
Sunday ~ we will be supported by Grandfather of the Andes medicine in a 4 tobacco ceremony which includes 4 prayers - The prayer of purpose, the prayer for the Father Water, the Power Prayer, and the Prayer for the Mother Water. The Grandfather of The Andes goes by many names. The oldest names we know are Huachuma and Awacolla. When the Spanish came to Amaruca and drank the medicine, they named it San Pedro (St. Peter) because they said it brought them right to the Gates of Heaven. This cactus is known as a heart opener. These two go hand in hand because the Gates of Heaven are always with us in our hearts. The Grandfather helps us make the journey from our mind to our hearts, teaches us how to live there, how to vibrate in that space, and how to carry that vibration out into the real ceremony of our lives.
The 4 tobacco ceremony is a celebration of Life. The design of the altar comes from Mexico by way of The Comanche and Ho’Chunk peoples. We spend the ceremony singing songs to The Creator, The Water, to The Fire, and the rest of our relatives of all creation. Singing is one of our favorite ways to pray. We pause singing 4 times in the ceremony to pray with Tobacco – a sacred ally who amplifies our vibration, grounds our words into the physical dimension, and reminds us of the unity of all life.
During these tobacco prayers, we give thanks and set intentions, pray to honor the water, our fathers, and the Sky, to pray from what is in our hearts, and to honor our mothers and The Earth. When we give thanks, celebrate life, and get close with The Creator, all things that are true in our hearts are possible.
You will have the opportunity to come into relationship with the fire and release anything that is no longer serving you, as well as make prayers for your life and wellness. Your facilitators will offer counsel and guidance in this time.
8am - Light Breakfast

Monday ~ We will close our retreat with a day of integration and completion, including a nourishing sound healing led by the owners of the retreat space. We will be in deep communion together as we breathe, dance, nourish, and integrate the heart wisdom of the weekend and plant the seeds to carry our medicine out into the world.

Integration is vital. Making a good home for what we receive from these ceremonies is our way of giving back to the heart of the medicines and the traditions that came before us. Integration is an embodiment of that wisdom. We make a new path by walking it.
