Fire Ceremonies + Stargazing
Joshua Tree's vast nighttime sky is an ethereal beauty all its own. Fire ceremonies are an opportunity to release anything no longer serving you, or to remind you of the fire in your soul. These are sacred celebrations of nature.

Sharing Circles

Sharing circles are an opportunity to socially connect with your fellow travelers in a deeper, more meaningful way. You get to choose how deep you go - you might surprise yourself. Sharing in this way with others seems to be a lost art - we're here to bring it back to life.

Sacred Medicine Circle for the Virgo Full Moon

As if this retreat wasn't magical enough already, we will also be in this sacred place while a Full Moon rises overhead. We will be marking the occasion and taking full advantage of the lunar power flowing through the sign of Virgo to reset and recalibrate our bodies, minds, emotions, and spiritual well-being.
