Hi there,

*'All good things are wild and free' -Henry David Thoreau

Machine elves, entities, outer space... this month we're diving into that wildest and most mysterious of psychedelics -- DMT.

Dr. Graham Campbell and Michelle Baker-Jones will discuss the results of a recent Phase I trial in DMT for Depression and we will explore the correlations between the DMT experience and transformative near-death experiences.

Then in just two weeks we invite all you wild women to venture to the rugged landscape of Dartmoor for a powerful week of self-rediscovery and initiation into the female archetypes.

This deeply transformative experience is especially for those of you who are longing for community, to be surrounded by others who share your path, and are ready to receive you in your tender vulnerability and wild power. There are just a few spots left so book soon!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yes! This retreat was truly one of a kind and I will never forget it. It was one of the best things I've ever done in my life and worth every, single penny. It was just an incredible journey for the mind, body and soul and I'm so blessed and grateful that I got to experience this retreat. It was just life-changing and Gaia and Alana are awesome! Thank you soo much! - Rafika

Embodiment & Healing

The two most important phrases in therapy, as in yoga, are "Notice that" and "What happens next?" Once you start approaching your body with curiosity rather than with fear, everything shifts. -- Bessel A. Van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score

Intimacy, Identity & Connection

Intimacy is the capacity to be rather weird with someone - and finding that that's ok with them. -- Alain de Botton

Adventures in Awareness

Boundary lines, of any type, are never found in the real world itself, but only in the imagination of the mapmakers. -- Ken Wilbur, No Boundary: Eastern and Western Approaches to Personal Growth

Nature Connection

For those who have experienced the joy of being alone with nature there is really little need for me to say much more; for those who have not, no words of mine can even describe the powerful, almost mystical knowledge of beauty and eternity that come, suddenly, and all unexpected. -- Jane Goodall

Psychedelic Science, Culture & Mental Health

The potential of the psychedelic drugs to provide access to the interior universe, is, I believe, their most valuable property. -- Alexander Shulgin, Pihkal: A Chemical Love Story

Ceremony & Ritual

The human soul can always use a new tradition. Sometimes we require them.
-- Pat Conroy
