THE

BRIDGE TO

A

RITE OF PASSAGE

RETREAT 2024

Spirit of Elements happily expands our array of services in harmony with our philosophies, our ceremonies and our heart driven initiatives.

We are thrilled to unveil our upcoming retreat for 2024:

The Bridge

to a

Rite of Passage

Embark on a soulful journey, immersing yourself in the wisdom of the natural world.
The power of this retreat offers the sacred space and the time to connect and reset.

A break away from your routine and familiarity, beyond the boundaries of the current world.

Join us for this insightful 2 night retreat In Healesville, for an opportunity to transform what is to shift and to allow the space for an acceleration of your spiritual growth. 

Within this retreat we will be focusing on ancient Shamanic rituals and traditional plant medicine (Rapèh - Grandfather Tobacco) incorporating a diversity of powerful rituals in circle with fire, sounds/music and natures elements.

Discover how to incorporate these practices into your daily life, to improve your mindset, connect with your inner self, guidance and ignite your spiritual growth.

The healing properties of the ancient medicines, and the transformative powers of the fire and container combined with your intentions, will create for you a profound healing experience in reconnecting to your truest essence. 

Experience the sacred medicine of Rapèh under the guidance of our experienced facilitators.

Plant medicines such as Rapéh - have been a central aspect of human evolution and spiritual growth, for thousands of years. The indigenous Amazonian tribes connect with these sacred plants to receive protection and guidance and can assist us on our journey.

In our ceremonies, we work with the light of the fire, the spirit of Mother Earth, the master plant teachers and the wisdom of our ancestors. This powerful combination is what leads to a portal of healing and transformation on many planes.

Tobacco Spirit teaches us to endure the moments of transformation, amplifying our perception and welcoming new perspectives so that we may expand our potential, our awareness into our lives.

Sacred Tobacco is medicine itself in many ways. It is a bridge that connects and aligns the different planes of manifestation of being:  Spirit, mind, heart and body. 

Everyone’s journey with these medicines are different and because our groups are smaller, we as the facilitators can provide attention to all participants during the ceremonies.

This creates an environment where you feel comfortable, safe, and supported through the entire experience. Following the ceremonies, we hold space in the group for an integration circle, where you have the opportunity to process your experience with others.

Join us as we delve into the essence of connecting with the elements that we hold dear to our hearts, understanding the how’s, the what’s and the why’s. We will lead you into each practise, inviting you to immerse yourself in its depth.

Learn how to integrate these beautiful practises into your daily life as we gather in circle after each practise to share what has arrived for us.

This is all a vital part of the healing power accessible to each of us and our spiritual journey, found in the safety and sanctity of sacred circles.
