ELEMENT RETREAT™
AUGUST 11-17TH, 2025
LAGO D'ORTA, ITALY
SOLD OUT –
Sign up for the waitlist to be the first to know if a spot opens up.
Sometimes those of us with a natural desire to heal get lost in the idea that we need to be fixed. But, beloved, we are not broken. We are not blocked.
We are always in the process of remembering and becoming more of who we truly are.
If you are ready to put down the illusion of perfection and the attachment to overcomplicated ideas of what it means to be spiritual, and instead, make space for the natural ability within you to heal and be healed, I invite you to join me in the mountains of Italy.
Take space away from the constant distraction of modern life, the cultural obsession with doing more and getting more, and the lie we are unworthy exactly as we are.
In this week long container dedicated to connecting to the elements to Be Your Own Healer, you will receive the space to feel your extraordinary presence and find within you a resplendent grace that revives your connection to all that exists.
“I went on the Element retreat with no set expectations and it turned out to be beyond anything I could have imagined.
Thinking back now I am brought to tears at how wonderful the whole week was. I learnt so much about myself, the elements, nature, about life! I have returned back home feeling more grounded and also more aware and trusting in the mystery and in myself.
I feel a strength waking up that has been dormant and I know it's because of the Element Retreat.”
– Melody F

ELEMENT RETREAT IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND
TO HOLD A CHILDREN’S RETREAT
Our retreats teach children to connect with the elements, each other, and their own creative lights.
Children are in supervised programming during all scheduled retreat activities (except our optional 7am meditation).
WHAT TO EXPECT
This year, we will host two separate retreats for children based on age.
Our tween/teen retreat (for children ages 10+) will include more in-depth classes on things like elemental healing, charting the stars, working with flowers, stone medicine, vibrational medicine, honoring creativity, a song circle and more.
Children 3-9 will also work with age-appropriate classes on creativity, weaving and strengthening their own light, elemental magic, and more.
