Medicine retreats come in many forms and so does the medicine itself. Feeling the power of what unfolded here these past days reinvigorates my curiosity about my own medicine and the channel that I am cultivating with the tools within and around me.

We are the medicine.

Thank you to the 5 tenders of this years fire. Thank you to the beautiful Co-Creation Crew that held those tenders and wove magic and fun. Thank you to the special guests who brought their medicine and music to all of us for our joy and healing. Thank you to the Cosmic Egg for nourishing us with pizza and awe. Thank you to the many, many beautiful humans who wandered up the hill to sit by the fire, to call in their own transformation and to hold sacred this life and our right to live it in integrity.
