Ostara - Elemental Spring Equinox Day Retreat
Honouring the elemental forces
Earth • Water • Air • Fire
At the sacred turning of the wheel, when day and night stand in perfect balance, you are invited into a deeply nourishing Spring Equinox retreat held in the arms of nature.
We gather to honour the four sacred elements of Mother Earth — Earth, Water, Air and Fire — knowing that when we consciously walk with these forces, we awaken the fifth, often unseen element:
Spirit.
For it is through grounding into the body, cleansing through water, breathing with the wind, and igniting the inner flame…
that we return to wholeness.
This retreat is for women ready to rise with the returning light.
We will open the day with a gentle Cacao Ceremony, working with this sacred plant medicine to soften the heart, deepen intention, and anchor us into the spirit of renewal.
Throughout the day, you will be nourished with carefully selected herbal teas, chosen to support grounding, cleansing, awakening and integration — aligning with the energy of each element.
The Equinox is a threshold moment.
A pause between dark and light.
A reminder that balance is not something we chase — it is something we embody.
And when balance is embodied, Spirit naturally rises.
This retreat is designed to gently guide you back into that inner equilibrium — where the earthly and the spiritual meet.
🌎 What You Can ExpectWe begin by rooting into the body and the land through gentle embodied practice.
You will take part in a conscious seed planting ceremony, choosing from a collection of sacred herb seeds to create your own magical herb garden — a living symbol of your intentions for the season ahead.
Hands in soil.
Intentions whispered.
Prayers planted.
You will be invited (never pressured) to begin or deepen your cold water immersion ritual as a ceremony of renewal and courage.
This experience is held safely, with intention and sister support.
We then move into warmth and restoration with sauna and sanctuary time — honouring the balance between activation and deep rest.
Through guided breathwork, vibrational sound healing and rhythmic drumming, we clear stagnant energy and reconnect to ancient wisdom traditions.
This is a space to soften the mind, open the heart, and remember who you are beneath the noise.
As the light overtakes the dark, we gather around the fire for a powerful closing ritual.
Together we will release what winter has shed and consciously step into the next chapter of our becoming.
As we honour Earth, Water, Air and Fire, Spirit naturally rises.
Not as something separate — but as the thread that weaves them together.
Spirit is felt in the stillness after breathwork.
In the courage after cold water.
In the warmth of shared firelight.
In the quiet knowing that you have crossed a threshold.
This is the invisible element — the returning light within you.
