Intuitive Art in Nature Series: Element Water
Join us as we honor the element of water. Blending water, art, and ceremony within a forest setting creates a powerful space for reflection, healing, or transition. You will receive a small journal to take notes in throughout the day, journal prompts, and a gift bag.
Opening Ceremony 1:00-1:30pm
Meet your fellow retreat goers and healing facilitators for the day. Jenny will provide an overview of the day’s activities, set intentions while creating a sacred space for all to learn, explore, and heal on the soul level. Participate in an energetic attunement. Bring an open mind and allow yourself to journey within, through the planned immersive experiences. Sound cleansing and sacred smoke will be used in the ceremony.
The Element of Water: 1:30-3:30pm
During this workshop we will do several activities to connect in with the element of water. Learn how water is used in ceremony for purification and clearing. Learn how to work with water elementals and how they can support our journey. We will participate in a guided meditation connecting with the element of water and see what messages it has for us. We will create an earth/water mandala and blessing bowl. Take part in a nature ceremony where we give gratitude to the beauty of the land, forest, and water. Whisper a prayer or positive wish over the surface of the blessing bowl, which will be poured back into the creek on the property, blessing the land. We will be giving back to the source by leaving a natural offering near the water’s edge to express gratitude and sharing what we’ve gained from working with the water.
Break: 3:30-4:00pm
Take time to walk the grounds. Spend time in the gazebo, the forest paths, or on the rainbow bridge. Drinks and snacks served in Alchemy Speakeasy.
Create Forest Infused Herbal Bath Salts 4:00-5:00pm
Use sacred elements of the forest, pine, cedar, lavender, sage, or use additional herbs to create an intuitive jar of bath salts tailored to your energy and the energy of nature. You will learn how to activate and work with the element of water to purify, cleanse, and ground energy. Learn how specific colors, crystals, and herbs can amplify or change the energy of the bath. We will use herbal alchemy: Epsom salts, essential oils, crystals, and flowers. Create a magical, energetic bath!. All bath salts will be placed in a convenient glass test tube for display and easy take-home. (All supplies included)
Water Lantern Ceremony 5:00-6:00pm
Create and learn about the symbolism of water lanterns throughout cultures. Reflect on your cycles of growth over the last season. Learn how to identify any shadow work that may be holding you back. Personalize your lantern with a message, something to release, or an intention, and take time to share meaningful moments with the people around you. Lanterns symbolize the light within you and the light that you intend to bring into your life throughout the season.
Lanterns will be released on the water at sunset during the closing ceremony in a powerful shared moment. You can take in the beauty of the lights reflecting back to you.
Closing Water Lantern Release Ceremony 6:00-6:30pm
Guests will return to the present after a day of learning and exploring their connection to nature. Participate in a water lantern release ceremony to let go of old beliefs, patterns, and stagnant energy. As we reflect on the day, discuss how our connection to water has grown today and what energy we can continue to work with. We will release our lanterns onto the water. We will close our sacred space, integrate the workshops of the day, and identify ways to continue to commune with nature. Guests will be able to transfer this knowledge into their daily practice.
