The intention of this retreat has been a deep reverence of each of our devotion and consistent prayer toward finding the Beauty in life, through the deepest heartbreaks and joys.
In our time together we'll be in the midst of Sacred Lands, Community, Spiritual practices of the body, and tea ceremony.
When we approach with reverence, great things decide to approach us. Our real life comes to the surface and its light awakens the concealed beauty in things. When we walk on the earth with reverence, beauty will decide to trust us. The rushed heart and arrogant mind lack the gentleness and patience to enter that embrace.” ― John O'Donohue, Beauty: The Invisible Embrace
The intention of this retreat has been a deep reverence of each of our devotion and consistent prayer toward finding the Beauty in life, through the deepest heartbreaks and joys.
In our time together we'll be in the midst of Sacred Lands, Community, Spiritual practices of the body, and tea ceremony.
Our time will be a weaving of tea ceremony, visiting sacred lands of Avalon and Provence, while communing with sisterhood and inviting a deeper relationship to Beauty as a path.
Mary Magdalene's teachings will be woven in our time in England and France, we'll find her footsteps all around us of her own pilgrimage. Receiving and embodying messages and codes that are inherently apart of our world and culture we live in today.
Qoya
Qoya Inspired Movement is a shift in consciousness that evolves the way we have been taught to move our bodies, and live in our bodies, as women. Drawn from the wisdom of yoga, creative expression in dance, and the pleasure found in feminine movement, Qoya helps women embody, enjoy and revel in their feminine bodies.
Alison will guide us through embodiment practices through the themes of Beauty. Divinity, Nourishment, Worship, Treasures, Cherish, Tend, Adore, Harmony, Wholeness & Integrity.
Tea Ceremony
Sacred Tea Ceremony is a journey into the Heart. It is a mindful, ritualistic practice centered around the preparation, presentation, and consumption of tea. Rooted in various cultures and spiritual traditions, it goes beyond the act of drinking tea to become a meditative and healing experience. Sacred tea ceremonies can serve as a pathway to mindfulness, inner peace, and spiritual connection.
Why a Pilgrimage?
A sacred pilgrimage is a journey undertaken for spiritual or religious purposes, often to a site considered holy or significant within a particular faith or spiritual tradition. It is an intentional act of devotion, self-reflection, and seeking connection with the divine or one's inner self. Pilgrimages can be a deeply transformative experience, marked by personal growth, spiritual awakening, and a sense of purpose.
