An intimate day long healing retreat bringing together the alchemical power of your Dreams and Essences of plants.

Saturday, February 27, 2016 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Worcester Town Hall, Worcester, VT

Dreams and plant essences are two of the most ancient healing practices of humankind. Both dreams and plant essences can help us recognize, resolve, or release different conditioned ways of perceiving the world and our habitual ways of experiencing and responding to the people, places and things around us. Bringing these two powerful alchemical practices together can help us experience greater well-being and harmony in our lives. By creating harmony within us, we often notice distinct changes in ourselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

In this unique 1 day retreat, participants will have the opportunity to explore a dream through experiential group activities including a short guided shamanic journey. Fearn will work with the wisdom and promise of your dream to create a custom blend of essences that will support the unfolding of your true nature. Group members will receive a bottle of their plant essence to take home with them. Basic journeying techniques will be taught. No prior journeying experience or dreamwork practice is needed.

This workshop is offered by a Mary Kay Kasper, a Druid Priestess and Dreamworker, Laura Smith, an Archetypal Dreamwork Practitioner, and Fearn Lickfield, a Druid teacher, Geomancer, and Flower Essence Practitioner (see detailed bios below).

Cost: sliding scale $75 - $100 includes snacks, beverages and a healthy vegetarian lunch and custom essence blend to take home with you! Participant will send one recent dream in advance of the workshop. Advance registration required. Please let us know if you require a gluten free lunch option.

Pay using Paypal or you may send us a check. Checks made payable to Mary Kay Kasper and mailed to 22 Foster Street, Montpelier, VT 05601. Pay by PayPal.
