11am-6 pm
Casa Sangha, Montecito *Address provided week of event
A Day Retreat devoted to Botanical Immersion + Embodied Descent
Supported by Koala Eco
Co-facilitated by Eve Gaines, founder of RITUEL, and Meredith Markworth-Pollack, founder of PALMA Colectiva, and Fernanda Lopes.
As we gather on November 7th we stand at the edge of the dark: the 7th holds the final night of the old moon, and the 8th is the New Moon ~ we are planting in fertile darkness. Astrologically, this is the most liminal passage of the month. The moon is resting in the deep water of Scorpio. It is a time designed for tending what lives beneath the surface. For allowing the old cycle to complete so the new one can root unseen. Scorpio is the season of the root, the shadow, and the sacred return. It teaches that nothing is lost ~ only composted, transformed, and made ready for rebirth. In this garden, we do not seek to become something new by rejecting what we were. We become by descending into the dark soil of what we have lived, and allowing it to feed what is emerging.
The day unfolds as one continuous garden ritual:
✧ Herbal tea ceremony featuring a custom blend for the season
✧ Herbal foot baths and botanical immersion
✧ Ecstatic dance with Fernanda Lopes
✧ Sound bath with Reiki + Biocharger
✧ Ceremony of descent and reclamation
✧ A beautiful seasonal lunch
RECEIVING: The day is supported by Koala Eco including luxury gifting for all of our guests.
WHAT TO BRING
Please bring one small object representing what you are harvesting in this season of your life, something that carries the feeling of ripeness, completion, or gathered wisdom. You may also choose an object from the land after you arrive.
Wear comfortable, warm layers that allow you to move, rest, and dance.
