SPRING - Cleanse
Emerge & Begin
Ousia (oo.see.ahh) means “I am” - essence, nature; that which makes a thing what it is
Join us each season to bring the living elements of nature into your life. Beginning with a tea ceremony, learn about plants to help your journey through that season in the form of herbal tea blends and aromatherapy. Participate in an aromatic distillation of fresh plants harvested together on our land. Journey to the body through a guided experience of dance, meditation, or journaling. Cultivate a deeper sense of self and with community while weaving aromatic transformations, embodiment, and connection to place. Each participant will be offered seasonal herbal tea during the retreat and leave with a bottle of the Hydrosol we co-created.
Foster self-awareness based on rhythms of nature through the Ousia wheel of Cleanse, Nourish, Transform, and Insight. In Legacy of Robin Zill.
