Autumn Equinox Retreat


AUTUMN EQUINOX RETREAT

The Shadow - Fire Initiation

Inner Beloved - Spirit Initiation

at Spiral Dance Ranch , near Utopia, TX

Join us for a transformative retreat in the heart of Texas Hill Country where we will celebrate the arrival of the Autumn Equinox! Embrace the opportunity to unplug and embark on a journey of self-discovery, guided by the profound practices of breathwork, ceremony, and the wisdom teachings of the Shamanic Healing Initiatory Process (S.H.I.P.). 

As we honor the Autumn Equinox, a time of balance and transition, we will delve into the realm of The Shadow and Inner Beloved. These teachings, rooted in ancient wisdom and modern psychology, invite us to explore the hidden aspects of ourselves—the parts we may have repressed, ignored, or denied. Through guided practices and rituals, we will shed light on our shadows, inviting healing and integration. Discover the power of embracing your whole self and cultivating a loving relationship with your innermost desires, dreams, and vulnerabilities.

Ceremony will be an integral part of this retreat, providing sacred space for reflection, intention setting, and connection with the natural cycles of the earth. Engage in heart-centered conversations, share stories, and witness the beauty of human connection. Nourish your body with wholesome, plant-based meals that support your well-being and enhance your experience.

Whether you are seeking personal growth, spiritual renewal, or a deeper understanding of yourself, this retreat offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in transformative practices and connect with the wisdom of the equinox. Join us at Spiral Dance Ranch as we embark on a soul-stirring journey of self-discovery, unleashing your inner light and embracing the magic of the season.

Please note that spaces are limited, so reserve your spot today and join us on this profound retreat experience that will leave you with lasting memories and a renewed sense of purpose.
