The Spiral Journal
The Spiral Journal is where our journeys are honored and remembered — one retreat, one season, one story at a time. Here you’ll find chronicles from our gatherings, reflections on the medicine path, and musings on the rhythms of earth and spirit. Just like the sacred spiral, our path is ever turning: deepening, rising, and returning to the heart. Welcome to our unfolding.

Autumn Elderberry Syrup
During our seasonal retreats we hold workshops everyday to discuss different aspects of the season and how to incorporate it into your life. In one of our workshops at our most recent Autumn Equinox Retreat, we discussed the harvesting element of fall including the act of preservation and medicine making including elderberry syrup. So, even though we cant invite everyone to these educational event, we thought we would at least share one useful component.

Simple Observance For Lammas (Mid-Summer)
Being in tune with the natural cycles of the earth helps us to be in alignment with the universe as a whole. It also helps by welcoming the nurturing energy of Pachamama into the flow of our lives.
