Sky of the Heart Winter Retreat

In this time of great need and change the imbalance of modern culture can feel overwhelming. What can we do to take a stand for the sacredness of life?  How to presence our feelings of fear, grief and anger with compassion and healing? Is there a way to be joyfully human in the face of what is happening all around us? Yes.

 Winter calls us to enter the darkness and dream with the ancestors. Aligning with the elemental energies of winter supports a slowing down. An inner journey towards heart. Stepping into the dream of nature through fire and heart.

Explore the value of healing in community, and learn practices to restore balance between heart and mind. Reconnect to ancestral presences and the mystery of death. Explore the vast field of emotions connecting us to heart and each other.  Experience the nourishment of a regular presence in a safe, community-oriented container, close to nature.

This three week program is designed to support those who cannot get away to a retreat, but who choose to maintain daily life commitments while exploring connective relationships to spirit, to self and to the community of beings, human and other-than-human, who give us our lives.

Join Prema and Scott Sheerin this January for an experiential exploration of traditional wisdom perspectives, laughter, music and spirit-tended healing, harmonizing with the elemental energies of winter.

• Three individual spirit-tended healing and sound healing treatments. One per week.

• Four half-day Sunday workshops providing perspective and tools for daily practice

• Three Wednesday “conversations of discovery” tipi fires for questions, group reflection and integration of learning into our daily lives.

This non-residential program allows you to maintain your daily routines (work, family etc.) whilst receiving regular, direct support to integrate change and the emergence of the authentic Self, connected to the common Heart and in constant exchange with the Divine forces within and around us.

“It was such great medicine to slow down my mind and listen to my heart, sitting in front of a fire with warm, fun, open-minded people.  I felt my heart stirring – like I was waking up” - Velda Biddix    

This is an invitation to slow down this January and allow yourself to flow with the natural energy of winter, to turn within and explore your essential nature.  Immersing in this way is an opportunity to interrupt the incredible momentum and pressure of our lives, to reflect and renew, with guidance and support. This is a gift you can give to yourself which will also bring benefits and blessings into the lives of those around you.

Most of our exploration will be done in the tipi or the yurt around the sacred fire. We will also be walking on the land, connecting with our elder willow trees and visiting the river to connect with the beauty and spirit of the earth, water and sky.

Runs from Sunday January 12th through Sunday February 2nd at Willow Moon Farm near Weaverville.
