Sacred Soul Conversations, Ceremony & Connection with Consciousness
A four-day offering in a small intimate group, 1-1 or family to be held in sacerd space with the grief or greives you carry and wish to soften for a heart that is hurting and wishes to heal.
We will explore witnessing, deep listening and being with the unseen landscapes to meet your grief, tend to it and hear what it has been trying to tell you all along. We will enter ceremony to soothe your grief and soften your heart, safely entering your healing through soul work that the medicine and consciosuenss of grief offers you.
Through creative explorations, connection, guidance, experiential journeys, channelling, meditations, journeying, writing practices and reflection we will witness each and everyone to feel, know and recognise the soul journey that your grief invites you on, ultimately leading you back to a soul knowing of who you are and your connection with infinite consciousness.
This will also include explorations of how to connect with consciousness through intuitive wisdom and soul led guidance to receive messages for you and how to interpret the way they are shared.
Filled with story time, sharing, journaling and quiet reflective time out on the land before and after a fire ceremony and renewal lodge ceremony, spend four days being immersed in soul consciousness and exploration with your sacred grief, the medicine it offers you and return to living from your sacred soul, a soft heart and a connection with the unseen.
From the moment you arrive you will be welcomed in to a nurturing, held and sacred space where all you need to do is simply be, tend to and stay with your grief.
Entering a space that allows for healing, peace, tranquillity and transformation, where all is taken care for you and where you will be bathed, fed, held and heard and where the conversation of grief will not only be welcomed but be the talk of the table.
From shamanic drumming, meditation, plant spirit communion, soul connecting, heart presence, energy medicine, spiritual nourishment, medicine wheel teachings, creative explorations, medicine walk, nature healing, clean eating and completing with a fire ceremony and sweat lodge ceremony, we are deeply blessed to welcome you and your grief on your Sacred Stay with Your Grief and to witness the beginning of a new relationship and way of being with your self and your grief as old, old friends.

Her gift of knowledge for wellness, in dogs (and humans ) are second to none. I would highly recommend Isla.
