NATURE QUEST
OCT 22ND-26TH, LES VALLEY, BALI
A Women’s Initiation into Essence, Balance & Vitality
A 5-day elemental initiation of embodiment and Spirit. Through silence, stillness, fasting and solitude we attune with the essence, clarity, alignment and life-force of our Earth Mother and our true nature. In sacred ceremony and communion with the land, the waters, the fire and many allies, we co-create a powerful portal for prayers for our lives and for all people. This is an invitation into undiscovered depths of your being and service, supported by the absolute love of the sisterhood and sacred lands of Les Valley.
