Drop Into The Woods

Step out of the madness & reset, reconnect, & remember with a few sisters, to receive soul food from the natural world. I believe we need to reclaim this natural part of our souls to create a new paradigm. I have been deepening my relationship with Mother Earth as a pathway in many forms over this lifetime. And, as I have taken my journey, I have turned and offered to share what I’ve learned. The art of cooking, nutrition, 5 Elemental wisdom, herbalism, medicine of plant spirits, reclaiming the sacred feminine, embracing our authentic sexual nature, the list goes on. I love sharing all of this with sisters who are also deepening their relationship, and too have much to contribute to our circles and our world.

At this crossroads on our collective journey through the death of the old paradigm and birth of the new, you know what I want to include to share with those in resonance with this desire? Just being with Mother Earth on a heart and soul level. No fixing, no processing, nothing to DO. Just drop into the energy, magic, and Divine Nourishment when sisters come together, as we used to, and BE with our Mother. Embrace our receptive feminine nature, and feel how she is speaking to us. Take in the bounty of wild food and herbs to nourish ourselves. Cook together. Journey to a plant spirit. Sit by the fire, share stories, create, nourish, and RECEIVE, REMEMBER, RESET!

During our time together we will open ourselves to what shows up as we slowly move through the woods, gathering aspects of a soul retrieval spirit doll, we will each co-create with the nature spirits, and journey to her as a sacred reunion with our own wild nature.

Welcome a reference point, foundation, that cannot be retrieved by talking about it, but just dropping into it, so we may co-create a new paradigm from the perspective of our Great Mother. No big leaps and bounds forward, just a grounding in our Mother Earth as our foundation. We know this place deep within us. After a long journey of exploring, learning, and unlearning, as an elder now, I want to create the container where we all can deepen our relationship, drop into our hearts, and receive directly, the Divine Nourishment of Mother Earth and our sisters. Is it what you are longing for?

Three Day Sacred Play

We will drop deeper into the flow and energy of the Mother, weaving the gathering of items in the woods for our spirit dolls, foraging food when available, cooking together, sitting by the fire sharing stories, learning more about wild food and medicine at our feet, spending time creating our spirit dolls, and journeying to them.

If your soul is longing for this, contact Mary for more details. I am offering this experience for a small circle of sisters who would like to have a retreat of this nature together. Book your own shared airbnb or private home in the East Asheville, Black Mountain area of your choice, and allow me to guide you through the best sacred play, slumber party ever. Or, attend a retreat that is set up in WNC. What an amazing retreat for a small circle of sisters to do together, doing what we are wired to do, that has been lost and devalued in our modern society. An ideal size of circle is 4-5 women.

When I realized that I needed a transformational retreat to rebirth myself as I stepped into my power, I knew that Mary Lane was the person to support me.

Mary held wise, compassionate and deeply grounded space for me, in a completely gorgeous and supportive setting. My being completely trusted Mary's wisdom and compassionate guidance. Over four days, I engaged in symbolic "rituals" that facilitated my releasing the old and bringing in the new. While I could not have had this  experience without the guidance and sacred space Mary held for me, the transformation occurred as a result of my engagement between self, soul and the divine energies around me. One caveat of metamorphosis is that one simply must unfurl one's own wings! And so it was. The experience was elegant, elemental and profound. The day after completion of the ceremonies, I scanned my field and was ecstatically grateful to discover that an energy blockage that has been in my system for at least this lifetime, was Gone and remains Clear. I highly recommend Mary's transformational facilitation. The only prerequisite is receptivity and a willingness to let go of what no longer serves. Happy Adventuring!
