For Who? For anyone who has completed Earth Tantra Levels 1 and 2 Retreats with Earth Tantra. This retreat is intended for individuals, but couples who've both attended ETR1&2 are welcome. Couples do NOT have to sleep separate for this retreat.
What? Embodying the sacred union within of Shiva & Shakti (not gender, but energies) to unite and step forward in a rite of passage of inner marriage.
Why? Sometimes in life we seek a deeper connection to yourself, your relationships, and the divine energies within? The Hieros Gamos Retreat offers a rare opportunity to step into a sacred rite of passage, awakening the balance (not 50/50 but your own unique balance) of your feminine and masculine energies. Through transformative practices, ritual and sacred ceremony, and guided self-exploration, you’ll reconnect with your authentic essence, align with your purpose, and embody the harmony needed to thrive in life and love. This retreat is for those ready to transcend limitations, embrace wholeness, and weave their unique path toward spiritual expansion.
When? Thursday, July 17th. Arrive between 1 and 2pm No later or no earlier please. We will end approx 10:30 on Sunday
