Sacred Smudge Retreat (half day)
Celebrate the Autumnal Equinox with an inspiring half day ritual of mindful hiking (optional barefoot), yoga, poetry recital, foraging and smudge stick making. Vegan lunch included.
Saturday September 22nd
10am-3pm.
Miwok Trail, Smith Road, Mill Valley Trailhead
$60 (includes your own alter kit and vegan lunch)
Burning a smudge stick is more than just clearing space in a room.
It’s about invoking what is sacred and remembering in this millisecond of time we have on Mother Earth what is most important in our life.
It is a conscious metaphor and paradoxical mourning/celebration of what old parts of ourself need to burn in the sacrificial fire.
Wafts of smoke belly dance their way into our nostrils and trigger a memory of death and rebirth in every moment.
The central theme of the half day ritual will be to explore the depth relationship between our ancestral origins, our life work and what the world is asking of us in this crucial threshold of human history.
It will be an honor to guide you through my entire ritual of mindful hiking, yoga, poetry recital, foraging and smudge stick making. I will divulge all my tricks and tips on the method and choice of materials for the best burn. Part of the hike we will have an opportunity to go barefoot.
Bring layers of clothes, rucksack, blanket and a water bottle - everything else will be supplied including your own alter kit and vegan meal.
