Women's Retreat
Allow me to welcome you with open arms to this special and sacred Samhain retreat. This has been coming through for many months and is inspired by my upcoming book which begins with Samhain.
So often in todays society we try and live in “high vibes” and we forget about the sacredness of death and the sacredness of grief. When we look to nature, winter and the human experience we see this beautiful cycle of death and rebirth.
Samhain is a time of death, decay, letting go. It is the time associated with the Celtic Goddess of the land - the Chailleach. She is the dark goddess, the witch, the hag and the veiled one.
She opens her lamha (hands) and invites you to take the steps with her, into the fertility of the dark soil, to she can assist you in becoming more and more, of who you are.
