It’s just a weekend!!

Is there enough time? Is one weekend enough? Why should I invest in myself?

This retreat is primarily focusing on a safe & comfortable introduction to working with the master plants.

Do you to want to start an exploration or only have a short amount of time available to work on troubling aspects of life? Whether you’re healing wounds/traumas known to you or feeling stuck in a cycle of depression or heartache, this is an opportunity for that break through.

This is not a guarantee, but we have confidence that it is entirely possible to change that direction. We will support you on your journey to where you want to be.

Are you ready to take that step and work with your fears of the known and the unknown?

Do you want to open a door to something different than your current experiences?

The preparation for the weekend is detailed but we will be there to guide you each step of the way. This journey can be intense, beautiful, challenging but ultimately rewarding all in one. From our collective knowledge it is absolutely worth the work and effort you put in; we will support you with this before, during and after the retreat.
