Ritual and Renewal
A Restorative Weekend For your Spirit & Body
October 16th-18th
Join us as we embark on a gorgeous journey allowing movement, nature and community to open our hearts and remind us of the light that is inherent in this world. For 3 days we'll immerse ourselves in heart-expanding experiences, surrounded by the beauty and sacred energy of New Harmony, IN.
Travel with your soul sisters or enjoy a solo trip to this unique and quaint town as you step away from the busyness of life and press pause to nourish your mind, body and spirit. As the autumn leaves begin to fall and the earth turns towards the quiet of winter, we are invited to gently restore our connection within. In the midst of the October twilight, we are called to step into the energy of the West - the place of the setting sun, deep introspection, connection, and release.
Ritual and Renewal is an intimate, overnight sanctuary designed for 20 women to rest, gather with intention, meet heart to heart, and allow ourselves to be fully seen. Just show up as you are. Together we will enter the "inner cave" and let our divine selves emerge. This weekend is not about doing, achieving, or perfecting. It is a soft, deeply held container for your nervous system to untangle.
Feel more alive in your body through embodied movement, emotional release practices, sacred sharing circles, expressive painting, contemplative journaling and candlelit ceremony. Bring your longing; for friendship, togetherness, and for the reminder that you are not alone. We can't wait to see you.

8:45 Group Breakfast:
Fuel up with a wholesome, cozy morning meal.
10:30 AM Expressive Painting:
Guided sensory meditation flowing seamlessly into painting on canvas - letting your inner landscape speak without rules of judgment. Gently flow into a mindful, spontaneous painting session using acrylic paints on canvas as Tobie leads you into the process of self expression and self discovery. No need to strive for technical accuracy or perfection, this practice is rooted in letting go and enjoying the moment to have fun and express yourself.
1:00 - 6:00 PM Spacious Integration:
Generous multi-hour Saturday afternoon for lunch at a place of your choosing, break for hiking, napping, reading, head to the pool/hot tub and just simply be.
6:00 PM Celebration Dinner:
Reconnect with the group over a lively, comforting dinner.
7:30 PM Sacred Earth Offering & Chakra Chanting:
Connect with the ancient wisdom of the Cycles of the Earth through a collective Earth Mandala ritual. We'll weave our personal prayers into a beautiful, circular offering of local autumn leaves, pine needles, and natural elements. Then be guided into a powerful chakra chant to vibrate, clear and align your energy centers in a collective circle. (no singing or experience required) Before heading out to the fire ceremony, channel the energy of the West to journal what you are ready to shed. Sprinkle a piece of the collective mandala into your take-home Blessing Jar—pre-layered with cinnamon, stones and a tea light—to capture the circle's magic whenever you need to return to your center.
The Fire Ceremony:
Head outdoors to the fire pit to safely release our collective written intentions to the flames under the stars.
We'll burn the Earth Mandala bundle and send our gratitude and prayers to the Universe.
...and of course enjoy some yummy s'mores:)
