We are connected to all things and the entire web of life. Every raindrop, blade of grass, bird taking flight, baby being born, ancestor transitioning, seed germinating, bear entering a cave to hibernate, whale migrating, and sea turtle resting on the shore. Even though we may know how interconnected we are to all things, we may experience periods of feeling isolated and disconnected. During these times, it is essential for us to resist the urge to retreat into our disconnection and come back into community with one another. We must reach out, connect with compassion and openness, and practice alongside one another to heal from our past and present-day wounds now and into the future.

Join spiritual teacher and social justice activist Michelle Cassandra Johnson for a transformative weekend immersion focused on rituals, ceremony, shamanism, and how to engage spiritual practice for personal and collective healing. The weekend will focus on Michelle’s third book, We Heal Together: Rituals and Practices For Building Community and Connection, and her path and practice of shamanism to bring about harmony on our planet.

The weekend will include various offerings focused on how to respond to the tumult in the world through the path of yoga and by engaging the body in ritual and practice for individual and collective healing. The weekend will include various spiritual teachings and contemplative practices, including movement, meditation, pranayama, dreamwork, rest practices, working with ancestors, engaging elemental energy (air, fire, water, earth), and working within the liminal space to bring about change. Through your participation in this immersion, you will deepen your spiritual practice and gain more clarity about how to show up more fully in your life and for the collective. You will learn more about your specific alchemy and how to engage it to transmute present conditions that are in the way of our collective liberation. 

Themes we will explore:

• Healing Our Hearts and The Collective

• Somatic Practices

• The Body as a Ritual

• Ancestral Connections

• Liminality

• Ordinary and Non-ordinary Reality 

• The Alchemy of the Hive

• And more!
