Alchemy & Silence
Each year, the journey of this retreat is unique, and every experience is unmatched. We connect with different plants, deities, and archetypes, making each retreat an opportunity to unveil your inner experience and reconnect with your original nature through the physical body.
Life is here, waiting for us to embrace it. Yet we are often too distracted, or we perceive it as a threat, becoming victims of our circumstances.
We live in survival mode, surrounded by a noisy world and an even noisier mind. We seek connection at all costs, often without finding the nourishment we truly need. Even our own words can become a distraction when they arise from subconscious reactions—little stories repeated so many times that we have come to believe they are true.
A deep connection with nature offers an opportunity to reset and rediscover our original nature. We begin the retreat by connecting with the medicine of the nature around us. Together, we will prepare sacred ghee and create a plant-based medicine using the plants that resonate with us in that moment.
We also connect to a deity or Archetype. In 2026 for example, we connected to the rose and to Mary, both very complementary and rich in teachings.
Then, we will enter into silence. Silence first offers us a mirror of our busy inner dialogue, and, with time and greater stability, reveals something much deeper. Each morning, we will have a space to share, with questions and answers allowing us to explore and understand our inner experience more deeply.
This retreat offers an opportunity to
- Embrace a boundless resource: nature.
- Experience nature as medicine through the preparation of a special plant medicine.
