About – The Ritual of the Wattle
Magic is for those who feel it, it emanates from our awareness, curiosity and inner force of creation. Once there was nothing now all you feel, hear and see somehow came into your existence. How do we bring our senses to our awareness? It is a process that starts with entropy or chaos and grows into order or harmony. Harmony is where we can be fully aware of the magic that is omni-present.
The Ritual of the wattle retreat is designed based upon the mechanisms of chaos and order and how we bring structure in our conscious and sub – conscious experience of life. We invite you to be a part of a carefully selected combination of somatic practices and plant medicine ceremonies to assist your preparation, integration and personal growth. This will be an experience that you won’t ever forget.
The retreat is held in Portugal in a beautiful community that facilitates nature, sauna, delicious food and incredible accommodation. This enchanted environment will give you a safe space to heal, learn, rejuvenate, set goals, create dreams, relax and connect to deeper layers of yourself in a great gathering of like-minded people.
We want to invite you to bring the magic back in your life and as a first gift you can get to know our core team of amazing alchemists.
