Wildheart Retreat:
Mother Archetype
and
Water Circle
Â
Our Water Circle {Tentative}
You are invited to join our Circle and explore the healing energies of the Mother. Nestled in the deepest wells of our spirit we all have access to Mother or Creation energy. Even those of us who feel we don't have an artistic bone in our bodies can tap into the creativity and abundance living inside of our spice rich souls.
In our Water Circle we will explore how the feelings of safety and validation of the feminine, no matter how it is experienced by you, can impact our access to abundance and creativity. Rituals overflowing in the sensual delight and purification of water will teach us to let our emotions and personal energies flow.
Located in the beautiful wilds of Maryland, prepare for a six hour immersion in wonder and delight in the Divine Feminine.

Offering Descriptions
​
The Opening Circle is a simple traditional ritual calling in our ancestors, angels and guides for support and protection during our time together. We will also call in the divine energy of the Mother Archetype and set our intentions for the day. The element of water will be our primary focus as we honor the womb and allow ourselves to feel our emotions freely.
​
Our second Circle continues from our first and is a time for speaking and introductions. This is a time set aside for getting to know each other and our purpose. You may tell us a little about yourself and what brings you to our retreat, or simply what you wish to be called.
After the second Circle, we will take a hike through the beautiful woods surround the Gunpowder River. Bring sturdy shoes, water, something to journal with, and a bag to carry these items. The hike is moderately strenuous and begins by heading downhill to the river. We will be making stops along the way to journal and drink water. A small ritual will be done near the river.
​
Then on to lunch! Food is grounding and after all that work, both magickal and physical we will need to regroup and rest. Lunch will be provided and dietary needs will addressed for everyone.
​
After lunch we will ease back into the magick and loosen up with a Body Movement Ritual. Feeling safe in a woman's body can be difficult at times. In our space you will be free to use your body to express the sacred both within and without. This is about learning to love your body and what it is capable of doing.
Once we have connected with our bodies we will connect with our souls. The ceremony of hand and foot bathing will be offered to you so that you can feel your worth through the touch of another. You may opt to support the ceremony or participate. How much you participate is up to you. Would you like to go all in with both hands and feet or are you more comfortable with one or the other? This ritual can be very affecting for people seeing their self-worth reflected in someone else's eyes.
​
Our final two Circles are all about digesting and assimilating our experience together. You will have the opportunity to share what you learned, how you felt and what you will take back out into the world with you. Our Circles will close as we thank our spiritual guides and guardians. Blessed be to all. And so it is.
