Shamanic philosophies from every corner of our planet teach us of our inherent connection to nature. The four elements of earth, wind, fire and water are not only the building blocks of life but have also been used by our ancestors to interpret the overall health of the interconnected mind/body/spirit complex. In this immersive workshop Jessica Grotfeldt of (Luz Eterna Retreats, and the Synthesis Institute) will teach you how to identify which elements need to be balanced within you and how to create a deeply meaningful framework for personal healing, psychedelic work and post journey integration. Join Jessica as she teaches you how to awaken the healer within as she guides you through a day long journey of guided meditation, and earth based rituals that will leave you feeling balanced, refreshed and empowered.
