Cedar and Stone
Medicine Retreat
To honour grief is to tend a great garden within us. We compost pain into new life.
Seeds can germinate in the lovingly tended soil of our lives. There is a time to rest and a time to mend.
You don't need to get over your grief. It will change shape as life flow on.
Grief is shared by everyone. Often, grief is collective. Together, we mend while the land holds us.
Cedar and stone medicine. Tend to your heart. Tend to your grief.
This day is devoted to self-care, connection, and healing. If you’ve been curious to join
— or feel called to return — now is the time.
During our gathering, you will:
-
Make cedar oil medicine
-
Experience a cedar spirit journey
-
Connect with stone medicine beings
-
Practice listening to their ancient voices
-
Meet new plant-loving friends
-
Why cedar?
Cedar is a Grandmother tree, here to support you on your path. Working with her can deepen your connection to the present moment and help clear obstacles along the way. Each time you work with cedar, the relationship grows deeper.
Why stones?
Have you ever felt the energy of stones while hiking or spending time on the land? We will spend time with the stone beings and practice listening to their ancient wisdom. They have held the memory of the Earth for millions of years and know an abundance about tending grief.
