Earth My Body ~ Water My Blood ~ Air My Breath ~ Fire My Spirit

Our ancient bloodlines of ancestors understood well how to access the wisdom that is etched into the landscape through the fire of living by those who came before. Across time and generations, it has consistently been the power of community and ritual in concert with music and voice that gives rise to the spiritual technology embedded in the stones, rivers, trees, sacred fires, glens and mountains of these lands.

Deepen your personal relationship with the elemental ancestors and learn their various uses in ritual prescriptions

In the old stories and old ways it was understood that the power of participation in community elemental ritual and ceremony offered a way of weaving together, like braids of sweetgrass, our disconnected strands of memory, healing and belonging. It could be said that if ritual is the choreography of communication between ourselves and the Great Mystery, then the elements themselves (Fire, Water, Earth & Air) serve as the active ingredients of that medicine.

Join us for this powerful deep dive into radical elemental rituals of Fire, Water, Earth and Air. We will begin each morning with elemental teachings around the medicine wheel as a way of deepening our personal relationship and understanding of the elemental ancestors and their various uses in ritual prescriptions.

Together we will draw upon our own stories to gather the medicine of clarity, wisdom, healing and courage to live a more authentic and inspired life. We will be camping in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina near Asheville on rolling hills and forest next to an ancient river. A welcome letter will be sent to you once you register with an equipment list and other items to bring.

What Others Had To Say

“From an indigenous perspective, the individual psyche can be healed only by addressing one’s relationship with the visible worlds of nature and community and one’s relationship with the invisible forces of the ancestors and spirit allies. It is in ritual that nature, community, and the spirit world come together to support the inner building of identity.”

— Elder, Malidoma Somé of the Dagara Tribe of West Africa.
