Holistic Elemental Retreat Auspicious Times Women's Reset Sweat Lodge
As the leaves fall and the Earth turns inward, we gather to honor the changing season and the wisdom found within its cycles.
Auspicious Times is a weekend of ceremony, connection, and returning to the elements. Together, we will tend the fire, prepare nourishing food, walk upon the land, share stories and prayers, and enter the Sweat Lodge as a community.
The Lodge is a place to become quiet and listen—to the stones, the water, the fire, the Earth, and the wisdom held within ourselves. In the darkness and heat, we are given an opportunity to release what we have carried and create space for what is ready to emerge.
We gather in remembrance that we are part of the Earth, not separate from her.
Through ceremony, we will honor Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Spirit, giving thanks for all that sustains us and seeking guidance as we cross the threshold into winter.
There will be time for ceremony, reflection, storytelling, shared meals, rest, and connection with the land. This is a time to slow down, listen deeply, and remember the traditions that call us back to what is essential.
Come as you are.
Bring your prayers.
Bring your gratitude.
Bring what you are ready to release.
Gather at the fire.
Enter the Lodge.
Return to the Earth.
Step forward renewed.
