Ether connection with higher spirit through crystal sound healing.
Our closing practice of the day will be a fire ceremony. A fire ceremony is a symbolic event held to support release and healing. Letting go is a natural and necessary part of growth, from the trees releasing their leaves to preserve energy when the weather turns cold, to a snake shedding the skin that it has outgrown. During our day at the retreat, you will spend some time in nature meditating and have written down your thoughts and feelings that you are ready to release. You will then toss the paper into the fire and say aloud what you are ready to release and let go of what no longer serves you.
