SUMMARY:“I Shine!” Inner Fire Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Light your soul on fire in this first of its kind experiential adventure. Retreat to the Blue Ridge Mountains\, lose yourself in the Nantahala National Forest\, and meet your inner truth. Spend three nights cracking yourself open\, nurturing the soul\, and allowing your inner light to shine powerfully through solitary communication with nature and heartfelt connection in group ceremony. \nAt the top of Little Scaly Mountain we’ll greet the sun on Meditation Rock before committing ourselves to deep healing work\, the sweat bath experience\, and overcoming fear through firewalking. After shedding all limitations\, unlock your soul by claiming the source of your inner power\, igniting your heart with the love of Mama Cacao\, and receiving the medicine of Grandfather Fire during emotional processing in a group setting. All of these intentional rites are lightened with wild drum circles\, Luminous Warrior ceremonial paint\, and Sacred Sound Healing. \nThe final evening of the retreat will take place around a blessed fire where the Spirit of the Mountain will be channeled to share wisdom and answer your burning questions. Each attendee will get the opportunity to receive an intimate energetic blessing from The Spirit of The Mountain as we honor the ancient energies of the Eastern Continental Divide and how its ever shifting landscape reflects our own spiritual evolution. Let this profound encounter be the next step in your journey back to the deepest parts of you. Welcome Home! \nMore Information Coming Soon!
