For Who?  Any adult feeling the call to learn how to become truly intimate with mother earth, her wisdom and nature as our guide for healing, expansion both internal and external.  If you are an outdoor guide, nature lover, energy space holder, yoga teacher, meditation guide, women's circle facilitator, etc this retreat might be for you.  If you are interested in attending, but not the teacher certification component,  we'd love for you to be an practice student and still receive a 75 hr practitioner completion certification.  You'll be asked to be a practicing student for the teachers in training a few times throughout the retreat.

​

What?   The focus of this retreat is focused on elemental healing, tantric elemental chakra breathwork for a 75 hr certification.  This is an inclusive retreat, meaning we ask that you stay in the container of the space.  We will venture approx 35 minutes away to spend time forest bathing, river connecting + an evening in the desert to watch the sunset.

​

How does this support my offerings and career?  Nature-based healing is evidence-based: There is a growing body of research that shows the benefits of nature-based healing, including reduced stress and anxiety, improved mood, better physical health and over all well-being.  Your course will teach participants how to apply these practices in practical, spiritual and mindful ways.   By completing the 8 night training, and receiving the certification, you'll expand new opportunities such as teaching nature-based healing workshops or incorporating nature-based healing into your existing or future offerings. This makes attending the course a valuable investment in both your personal and professional development, as well as improving the lives of others.  

​

When?  Arrive between 1 and 2pm Saturday, June 24th.   No later or no earlier please.   We will end around 10:30am Sunday.   Graduation ceremony is Saturday night. 

​

The Space?   We will gather on the 8 beautiful private acres at Earth Tantra Outdoor Center & Raven Wild farm stay in Delta, Colorado.  We recognize and honor this space as land of the Native American Utes.  There are stunning views of the Grand Mesa to the north and Elk Mountains to the east (distance).  The property is 5,200ft in elevation - high desert.  The land shares a beautiful blend of grand cottonwood, elm and other trees (crabapple, maple, etc) with an open field, small pond, rabbit brush and micro private spaces for privacy.  The community space has multiple spots with hammocks, an outdoor kitchen, eating patio and lounge area, outdoor circle (partly shaded), ceremonial tipi, peace pole and more.  We share the land with dozens of variety of birds, native and local plants, chickens and 2 dogs.  Students are welcome to take a hike along our 1/4 mile hiking trail to the bottom of the property.  We do not have bears or mountain lions but other critters like fox & racoon.  The land calls to support others in their healing and spiritual journey.  Many people can feel the vibration and kindness of the land.  We are a Chemical + Fragrance + Shoe FREE household.  Gentle soaps + shower supplies, etc are provided.
