REVIVE: Return, Remember, & Rekindle Your Relationship with Your Medicine
REVIVE: Return, Remember, & Rekindle Your Relationship with Your Medicine
Saturday, September 19th
Each year, as Courting Your Medicine comes to a close, we invite you—the entire community of Courting Alumni—to join us for a facilitated day on the land at Quartz Ridge. This is an opportunity to return to your allies in the natural world, to remember and to reconnect with your Medicine, to reawaken your essence and power, and to rekindle your sense of community.
This is an invitation to come home to yourself and to your Medicine.
We all know how powerful it is to be held within the Courting container—even if just for a day. Our shared capacity for depth, authenticity, truth-telling, Soulful reflection, and magic-making makes this a particularly poignant way to revive your relationship with your Medicine—and to make space to listen to your innermost longings.
So please join us. To be witnessed. To wander. To reconnect with yourself, and with one another. To be nourished by the land, and by this community of exquisite Souls.
We will share more details, the address, and a packing list with all who register. We can’t wait to see you all, and we very much hope that you can join us!
