Vermont Sacred Medicine Retreat
July 19-21, Londonderry VT
Join us for a short healing retreat in the countryside of Vermont. We will have the opportunity to have a nighttime ceremony with a sacred cactus from the Andes region, as well as limpias, or energetic cleansings, plant baths, hape (tobacco medicine), and guided meditation.
Katie will be hosting this retreat. She is from Chicago, USA, and has lived in Ecuador for five years, hosting retreats with her partner, Miguel, and assisting in Ayahuasca, San Pedro and Wilka traditional plant medicine ceremonies. She has recieved the blessing to work with the sacred medicine San Pedro, and has started doing her own ceremonies with this plant. She gives energetic cleansings, plant baths, and massage. Katie is also an ancestral medicine and midwifery student of Mercedes, an indigenous healer from Otavalo, Ecuador. She has learned herbal medicine, massage, and energetic/spiritual healing techniques from her.
This retreat is great for folks looking to improve their mental and physical health, connect deeper with their spirit, mother Earth, and the Great Spirit. With the use of sacred plant medicine, and other healing modalities such as energetic cleansings/plant baths, we will clear blocks that we might have in our spirit, which may manifest in various problems in our lives.
We will have a maximum of 5-7 guests

Although in 5 years of hosting retreats and working in ceremonies, we have never had any health issues with folks, there is always a risk of emotional, physical or mental health discomfort or issues. Occassionally folks might trip while walking to the bathroom during the ceremony, but I will be there to help folks as necessary. It is important to stay in the ceremony space during the ceremony, and not go walking off on your own. Sometimes plant medicines can bring up difficult emotions, we might feel light-headed or nauseous, we might vomit, or feel odd sensations and even pains during and after the ceremony. This is not necessarily bad, and is oftentimes the medicine working on you.
