Details of this retreat

This Birthing an Ancient Future - Psychedelic-Assisted August Group Retreat is dedicated to an intimate process towards wholeness in a profoundly personal and interconnected way. The journey from the mountaintop to the deepest ocean symbolises the integration of the sky, the heavens, spirit into matter; the Earth body, the human body, and all life. It is a transformational journey, representing the many different landscapes and experiences that shape our soul’s journey of self-discovery and growth.

The eagle is known for its remarkable vision from far above – but also at the same, able to see details on the ground, which allows it to see beyond the surface, gain insights into situations, and perceive truth and clarity.

They are a symbol of freedom and fearlessness. In many indigenous cultures, the eagle is considered a sacred and wise messenger because of its ability to navigate the skies with grace. The eagle symbolises the masculine energy.

The depth of the ocean represents the womb of all life in indigenous wisdom, and in these depths, like in the uterus, the conception of life happens through the sacred union of masculine and feminine energies, when our soul is born. The ocean and the water symbolise the feminine energy. All life is born from the female womb. The depth of the ocean also represents the deepest layers of our soul – our individual and collective unconsciousness.
