Our Retreats

We believe that commercial pressures tend towards offering ceremonies too close together. To get the most out of a ceremony its best to be relaxed with good energy beforehand and to take time the following day and night to begin the integration process.  Accordingly our shorter programs have a maximum of one back to back ceremony with an emphasis of relaxation and integration.

​
