Spring Retreat
Mother Nature’s seen and unseen urges are pushing slumbering life to the surface and deepening her roots into the earth. Usher in the Spring season with rituals to awaken your inspiration. We ride that upward spiral as the growing light of the sun reaches its balance of light and dark – the momentum beneath us burgeoning into new forms.
Join us to invoke the fiery urge of life itself. Help us break new ground into what is awakening personally and collectively at Rachael Kinsey’s home garden located near Crafted Outpost. A sacred and safe space for gathering. (given upon registration).

CRAFT RITUAL
Opening craft ritual with Rachael Kinsey. Adorn your home altar with a Spring bundle consisting of local blooms and herbs to promote growth, abundance, and purification. Adorn them with a crystal and botanically dyed ribbon to burn or add to your spring altar to awaken the fire of inspiration.

MOVEMENT MEDITATION
Awaken inspiration with an equally challenging + nurturing movement meditation and yoga practice with Rachael Crawford. The spring is a perfect time to create new healthy habits which shake us from our winter slumber. Prepare the ground of your being: your body, to deepen your creative passion through asana, breath, and playful flow. Mantra and mudra will be included. All levels welcome.
8:00 p.m.
PLANT SPIRIT CEREMONY
In the plant-spirit ceremony, we will join in a meditation circle as Kristy Pace guides us deeper into our breath, body and energy centers to open & connect with the plant spirit of Red Clover, the triple goddess of the Plant Queendom. As you sip and drink an overnight infusion of this nourishing herb, you will be guided to commune with the plant to receive its healing energies and wisdom, communicated in various subtle ways throughout the body. This tea ceremony will conclude with prayers of gratitude, followed by a brief overview of red clover’s herbal actions, energetics & medicinal properties.
A note about Red Clover: Beloved by bees and herbalists, since the dawn of their existence, Red Clover is one of the most famous herbs used in the treatment of cancer, skin conditions, respiratory infections, lymph, swellings, and reproductive disorders due to its “alterative” (“blood-purifying”) action. This action detoxifies the system of metabolic and extracellular waste, reflective in the health & vibrancy of the skin. Red Clover is a deeply nourishing, restorative, and cleansing herb, spiritually revered by some herbalists as “catalyst for self-actualization”.
Kind words from past clients.
