Our Cosmic Container: March 21 – March 24, 2024

Healing Through the Elements™ opens in the sacred space between the Spring Equinox (Lunar Eclipse) and the first Full Moon of Spring, also known as the Worm Moon by Indigenous people of the North-West hemisphere. This potent time was intentionally chosen to imbue your entire experience with the freshly awakening energy in the natural world and the full moon’s invitation to manifest and ignite your intentions for an abundant season of growth ahead. We will be reawakening together — moving from Late Winter to Early Spring — accompanied and in step with the flora and fauna of our beautiful world. From this place, we invite in the energy of wild, boundless possibility instinctually unfolding each Spring in the world around us.

Intensive Experience Outline:

Thursday

We begin Healing Through the Elements™ on Thursday evening with nurturing our bodies through sharing our first meal as a united group. We will then move into our opening ceremony together, set around a fire, under the Early Spring stars and a Waxing Gibbous Moon in Leo — supported by the element of Fire, our intensive experience will open with an energized and empowered spirit!

Friday & Saturday

Friday and Saturday offer full-day, tailored programming, inviting our united group into intimate practice and focus on two elements each day to cultivate an experience of each element that is integrated into the physical and subtle body utilizing the sacred relational arts and practices below. The Moon will move into the Earth sign of Virgo for the remainder of the experiences, supporting us as we integrate each of the elements into our bodies and cultivate an inner sense of curiosity and intuition to make the practices our own. We will commune in nature with each element, bringing our embodied experience of the elements to bear witness to each element in its natural state. Your experience will be immersive and intimate, calling to the multiplicity and strength inherent in our natural world that also lives and breathes within you.

Sunday

On Sunday, we bring Healing Through the Elements™ to completion following our final shared meal together, uniting in our closing ceremony, and bringing intentional awareness to the unique state of being we collectively and individually cultivated by engaging intimately with each element. As we part, we will acknowledge and share the many ways that the elements manifest within us and in our shared world, fostering an enduring connection with the healing potential and power of each element that we now carry forward as we return to our places of home.

Sacred Relational Arts and Practices you are invited to experience:
  • Element-inspired Yoga Sequences
