You will experience a deeply restorative way to compassionately learn shadow integration using the gentle water alchemy technique.

Water weaves the ancient art of tea ceremony, the daily embodiment wisdoms of Zen and Tao lineage, and the heart-healing alchemy of plant medicine.
During this Immersion workshop, we begin with a Plant Medicine Tea Ceremony, before being guided into a Vipassana Meditation “meeting the Inner Child”. From here we’ll nourish with a light lunch (GF + Vegan) incorporating a mindful eating practice. After we have grounded with nourishment, you will be led into a Somatic Compassion Integration Meditation “nurturing with the Divine Mother” and then integrating with a Heart Sharing Circle to close off the day.
Our Plant + Spirit Space Holders on the day will be:
• Kwan Yin – Mother of Mercy + Compassion • Grandmother Mugwort – Shadow-worker + Psychic Guide and Protector • Mother Rose – Unconditional Love + Softness
“You are the medicine. You are the Divine Mother to the Inner Child Within. It is safe now child, to open up your heart, feel your feelings and let them go. Witness your pain and come home to the Heart.”
